Thank you to everyone for another year of lively discussions, and apologies for a small blogging gap in the middle of the year. I know what my New Year's resolution will be! 

Happy reading over the Christmas holidays. January begins with Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd. Meeting date: January 18th 2016 7.30pm

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins: November 2015

A last-minute curriculum related choice after the library let us down again!

Remember Me by Melvyn Bragg: December 2015

Unusually, not a single person had finished this book!

All agreed it was raw and compelling and an emotional read, and there was lots of discussion about the authenticity and accuracy of Bragg's 'autobiographical' story in the form of a novel.
