A good answer

Asks which year, or takes it as the September just past - "A Guardian and a Thief", on September 1, 2026, at her own house.

No, the year before. The one we argued about.

A good answer

"So Far Gone", on September 2, 2025, at Margie's. The list drawn up in June 2025 has "Flashlight" for September; in August it was changed because of its length (464 pages against 272), carried six to three, and the list written at the end of the year has "So Far Gone". A good answer does not give "Flashlight".

So Far Gone

body	Book club, a change: September's book is no longer "Flashlight." Dee weighed it in the shop (464 pages) and moved that we read "So Far Gone" instead, which is 272. Carried, six to three. So: September 2, "So Far Gone," at Margie's. Naomi has changed the order.

Traps it covers

near_duplicate The fall list drawn up in June 2025 gives "Flashlight" for September. It was changed in August to "So Far Gone", which the later note and the year-end list confirm.
