## WE ARE SO BACK! Fantasy & Frens December Books!

I want to thank everyone in this community for your patience with me while I took a break from being online. Unfortunately, a break from socials also meant a break from book club. I’m currently fighting the worst reading slump of my entire life, and I need your help to break it.

I initially had the thought of skipping a December book entirely and starting fresh again in January, but the mods convinced me to do a book for December. I asked **@Poetry.Shaman** to pick a book for us, so without further ado, the Fantasy & Frens December BOOKS are **_Monk & Robot Duology_** by Becky Chambers!

DECEMBER 1-15: _A Psalm for the Wild-Built_

DECEMBER 16-31: _A Prayer for the Crown-Shy_

These books are novellas, so they are very short! Perfect for the busy holiday season and filled with light and hope. I hope these are the books I need to cure my slump. I hope you’ll join me on December 1st to start reading _Monk & Robot_! ✨🤖

As a reminder, to access the book club channels on Discord, you must be a Free Follower of my Bindery, which is linked below! You’ll gain channel access, the **@Phoenix Fren** role, and exclusive server emojis!

Let me know if you have any questions!
