Does anyone know when the July new reads club East of the Sun actually starts? I looked at it on announcements and didn't see. Is it the 1st or the 6th? I have it ordered but not here yet and I can not read very quickly, especially a 600 page book, but I am looking forward to it.
I just saw this book on the B & N Long List (thanks to Moderator Becke) and it made me think about OBAM. If anyone reads or has read it, I'd love to hear what you think.

In Helen Oyeyemi's White Is for Witching, nobody, and nothing, goes unhaunted. Doubles of unmatchable perfection, ancestral spirits, and objects brought to life all roam its pages, uninvited but not altogether unwelcome. The story of a precocious, otherworldly teenager named Miranda Silver, Oyeyemi's novel feels in certain ways as if it fell out of the 19th century -- only the occasional references to cell phones and pop songs jog it back to its contemporary reality. But really, it is less a coherent story than a coherent atmosphere. Told from the perspective of three alternating narrators -- Miranda's twin brother, Eliot, her friend and eventual lover, Ore, and, in an unlikely twist, her house -- Miranda's descent into illness in the wake of her mother's death exists somewhere between a cruel fairy tale and an elegiac ghost story.
