Book Share report from Jayne

 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.

New Year Meal

 Our New Year meal at the Berry Head Hotel was a very lovely event! Good food, excellent company and all round very enjoyable. A big thank you to Sheila and Jill H for organising everything so well, to Mary H for making our very beautiful place cards and to Lynne for arranging the raffle and flowers.

Yes!Brixham

 At our meeting last week, we voted unanimously to continue supporting Yes!Brixham. 

Here is how, alongside what they have on offer for each of us, if we choose!
