Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t follow myself or Britt @ Geronimo Readsย on Twitter (but you totally should because we’re so cool!), I wanted to take the time to announce that we have started a new monthly book club, #Underrated Book Club!
This book club will focus on hidden gems, underrated, indie, or books that might have just fallen below everyone’s radar. As a book blogger, we easily fall into the hyped books that everyone is talking about. However, there are tons of great books that maybe don’t receive that kind of publicity or recognition. That’s why Britt and I decided to start this book club.
Each month, our members will vote on a poll to decide which underrated book we are going to read. The book club will run from the 15th-15th, with a Twitter chat, #URBookChat,ย and discussion about the book on the 16th. We decided it’d be nice to give our members two separate monthly TBRs to choose from, as we all know how insane TBRs can be! There may even be giveaways included after the discussion… YAY!
If you would like to join us, you can follow us on Twitter or we are also currently setting upย a Goodreads group that you can join HERE. We hope you will all join us on this fun adventure!
The February-March BOTM is Starflight (Starflight, #1)ย by Melissa Landers. The sequel was just released this month, so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to pick up this fun read! The ebook is currently available for only $1.99 so it’s the perfect time to grab a copy!
Life in the outer realm is a lawless, dirty, hard existence, and Solara Brooks is hungry for it. Just out of the orphanage, she needs a fresh start in a place where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. She’s so desperate to reach the realm that she’s willing to indenture herself to Doran Spaulding, the rich and popular quarterback who made her life miserable all through high school, in exchange for passage aboard the spaceliner Zenith.
When a twist of fate lands them instead on the Banshee, a vessel of dubious repute, Doran learns he’s been framed on Earth for conspiracy. As he pursues a set of mysterious coordinates rumored to hold the key to clearing his name, he and Solara must get past their enmity to work together and evade those out for their arrest. Life on the Banshee may be tumultuous, but as Solara and Doran are forced to question everything they once believed about their worldโand each otherโthe ship becomes home, and the eccentric crew family. But what Solara and Doran discover on the mysterious Planet X has the power to not only alter their lives, but the existence of everyone in the universe…
Are you joining us at Underrated Book Club? Have you read Starflight? What did you think of it?
I own this book already so if I can, I’ll squeeze this book into my TBR!

Awesome! We are well aware of TBRs, so that’s why we made it cross over two separate months lol. I hope you can join us because it sounds like such a fun read!

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! I’ve not heard many people mention having read this one so I’m glad to see that you have! Well probably start polling for next month’s options soon, so if you’ve got an idea we’d love to hear it!

Great idea! I just joined the group on Goodreads. I haven’t heard of this book before, it sounds interesting! I’m afraid I’ll be missing this month’s Hype or Like Book… I had requested it from the library but never got around to picking it up. My life has been so crazy lately!
