Hi Everyone! Many effusive apologies for the late wrap-up. I loved the book and love you guys. But my life kind of went topsy-turvy. Fear not—I have not forgotten you and I hope you've been enjoying reading WATCHMEN with LionesseRampant!

So here we go. Quick and dirty wrap-up for this awesome book, LOVE IS THE DRUG by Alaya Dawn Johnson!

Let's talk about your feels. I have questions. 


  • How did you feel about the romance element in LOVE IS THE DRUG? Most YA novels have some sort of romance element, but there's a lot more at stake in this book than who Bird decides to make out with.


  • Class is a huge element in LOVE IS THE DRUG. How does money affect Bird and her friends, and their choices? How do you think it would affect you and your community in a plague-panic situation?


  • Do you think Bird is a heroine with agency? How do you feel about the choices she makes in the book and who she chooses for allies?


  • Do you like the book cover? Do you think that it suits the story? And this brings me to...

ACTIVITY!


Redesign the cover! If you don't like it, make something completely different. If you do like it, run with the concept and make something similar. There are lots of resources here on dA—stock art, fonts, and tutorials. Take advantage! (Your cover doesn't have to be great. We are giving you points for participating. But have fun!)

PRIZES!

The winner for this month will get a hardcover copy of Alaya Dawn Johnson's previous novel THE SUMMER PRINCE, courtesy of Scholastic/Arthur A. Levine Books. A second copy goes into the prize bucket to be awarded after the close of December book club.  So go get you some points! Discuss! Do activities! YAY!

Apologies again for the super epic late post. And I can't wait to read Mary Roach's SPOOK with you in October. Meanwhile, I'll be over here with WATCHMEN. See you soon!
