2014's Year of the Book

I am determined to stay on top of the blog this year; so I will begin with a photo from December's Christmas meal and meeting to discuss Sara Gruen's book Water for Elephants:



Followed by a quick rundown of last year's books so that discerning members can keep track of what we have read. I think that there were ten books last year with confusion over dates in the first half of the calendar and no book in May as a result, so I hope that I haven't got that wrong.

Here is our year of books:

January - Seventy Two Virgins by Boris Johnson

February - The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

March -  May We Be Forgiven by AM Homes

April - Toby's Room by Pat Barker

May - No book

June - Igboland by Jeff Gardiner

July - The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver

August - No book meeting for the summer holidays

September - Testament of Mary by Colm Toibin

October - The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

November - The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

December - Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

2015 begins with Skios by Michael Frayn; a much more light-hearted choice than we have had for a while!

Happy new year to all.  May it be filled with good books.
