MONTH END BOOK GROUP
The Month End Book Group examines a work of science fiction, fantasy, or horror on the last week night of the month. The book can be a new release, a classic, or an obscure novel or collection. Members of the group take turns choosing the book and serving as moderator.
The group meets at 7:30 PM in the food court of the Paramus Park Mall in Paramus, New Jersey. The food court is on the second floor. We meet at a table near the elevators behind Dunkin' Donuts.
The first meeting of this group was in September of 2006. Books are listed in chronological order chosen and alphabetically by author.
