Join The Rogue Syndicate Book Club: Monthly Reads & Events

A brief overview on how we are going to start book club for the time being, if we change anything, we can decide that in here and update the main post as well.

I'd like to start by...
1) picking out a genre for the month by vote,
2) then we can all throw some ideas into the basket that we'd love to read in this genre (can be one you have read or one you're looking forward to reading, etc.),
3) we'll put it up for vote again (no voting for your own, max two books selected per person)
4) we'll start reading the 1st of the next month (so we are starting this one in April)
5) the book will have its own forum within this channel, you can start talking about it as you're reading, or wait until you're all done
6) have a book club night in week 4 of the month (we'll take a poll later for this) where we can all hop in ⁠⁠(https://discord.com/channels/1341210009052385332/1341556410336542731) to talk about it together, and finally...
7) announce the next book for the following month!
