In Memory of Jenny Guy Colvin

June 2022 Book Pick - As Many Books As You Want

From Tom and Veronica on Patreon:

"As you know, we lost a member of our community who was a voracious reader and contributed in so many ways, including co-hosting the show. We shared some of our memories of Jenny on the last episode of Sword and Laser and among them was an idea from John Nevets.

''The short version is, that in honor of Jenny, the June book pick will be to read and review as many books you want. "''

If you're looking for some ideas, you can definitely find inspiration in Jenny's extensive book list on Goodreads.

Here's John's email that inspired the idea.

"I have an idea regarding a possible way the book club could memorialize Jenny’s passing.  I’m by no means sure it is a good idea, I just had it, and am posting it here to start a discussion about it.  When Joanna died 5 years ago Tom and  Veronica chose to read one of her unread books in her Goodreads list.  I thought this was a great and wholly appropriate way of remembering her.  And each time I see “The Hum and Shiver” in my audible account I think of her.  Jenny was such a prolific reader that this doesn’t seem quite right, and also may be a more difficult task.  My suggestion instead is for one month not have a traditional book pick, but instead have each of us read as many different books as we can ( even if that is just one), and then write a Goodreads review of them.  Possibly mentioning it is posted in her memory.  I know many are very good about writing reviews anyway, but many of us aren’t, and I thought this would be a unique way of sharing much of what she enjoyed."
