Welcome to the first meeting of the Juvenalia Book Club. We’re going to be taking turns introducing each other to book series that we love. For our first run Andrea will be introducing Alan to the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman. We’re going to be talking about Pullman’s amazing worldbuilding, taking children’s problems seriously, the biggest boy Iorek Byrnison, and lots more. Join us and tell us what you love (or don’t love) about these books

Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now but he does a bit of standup sometimes too.
