Elixir in Action, Third Edition https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action-third-edition

I've read each previous edition, but I would be up to reading this again. I know the Elixir Forum is doing an https://elixirforum.com/t/elixir-in-action-book-club/63088/ on this book right now, and I don't mean to still their thunder, but what we offer as far as in-person live calls is

The Art of PostgreSQL https://theartofpostgresql.com/

I've just started reading this book after buying it months ago. Feel like I need to skill up with Postgres for work, so it's more a personal priority and not sure it is a great fit for book club.

Unit Testing: Principles, Practices, and Patterns https://www.manning.com/books/unit-testing

This is one of my favorite books on testing, and I would welcome the opportunity to read and discuss it with others.

Elixir Docs: Anti-patterns https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/what-anti-patterns.html

There are four sections. We might be able to do the whole thing in a single meeting.

Web Application Security Best Practices for BEAM languages https://erlef.github.io/security-wg/web_app_security_best_practices_beam/

Not 100% how we could split this up but we'd figure it out.

Interested in the future:

Engineering Elixir Applications https://pragprog.com/titles/beamops/engineering-elixir-applications/

This is still in early beta, so ideally, I'll let it cook more before reading, but is of interest to me.
