Young Fantasy Reads
BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
The Young Fantasy Reads Book Discussion Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at Barnes & Noble, 765 Route 17 South, Paramus, New Jersey 07652 (201) 445 - 4589 at 7:30 PM. The group will not meet at the store in December, but may instead view a movie based on a YA book at a member's home.
The group selects works of fantasy, science fiction and horror. This includes classic works for young people (WIZARD OF OZ and ALICE IN WONDERLAND), classic genre works (Heinlein Juveniles, THE HOBBIT, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA), books originally released as adult works and repackaged as teen (ENDER'S GAME), and more contemporary works of young fantasy (HARRY POTTER, PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS), science fiction (HUNGER GAMES) and horror (TWILIGHT).
We have only attracted adults to this group so far, but we would definitely welcome younger readers as well. The group is for readers 13 and up.
A chronological list of the meeting dates, books, and authors read and discussed by the group follows. An alphabetical list of this information appears after the chronological list.
