Lovely Bookshare today when Sparks treated us all to cake. Of course we sang. Belated lucky dip for Christmas absentees then a quick chat about Rabbit at Rest and author John Updike.
Discussion about other books read revealed a wide range of genres with people commenting that they were reading books they wouldn’t normally have chosen.
Members had been reading and enjoying books and authors ( Sebastian Faulks, Robert Harris, Val McDermid, Barbara Kingsolver,) recommended at previous meetings.
New recommendations included the Element series by John Aboyne, No one saw a thing, by Andrea Mara and the Terry Pratchet Discworld series. Highly recommended was Moving by Jenny Eclair, whilst For the Love of Dogs (Paul O’Grady) was described as a lovely book.
Two other special mentions were Butter by Asako Yuzuki and Near Future by Suzanne’s Evans.
The new book, the Tenant of Wildfell Hall lead to a brief chat about the Brontë sisters. Our thoughts next month will be interesting.
