Participants suggest titles, vote on upcoming reads, and meet to talk about what they have read. The kickoff meet-up uses a friendly show and tell format so everyone can connect and share the kinds of books they enjoy, and attendees are encouraged to bring a favorite fantasy novel if they have a copy. One early selection is set in advance, Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. After that, the group will decide future picks together.
