After a very good evening at the Queen's Head on the 21st -good grub,excellent company (and welcome to Jill our new member)and last but not least, some intensive discuusion about our chosen books!we have set a date for our next meeting. Our next date should have been December but due to the fact that everyone will be doing the run up to xmas we have decided to defer until Jan 7th, 6pm at the same venue - the Queens Head at Cullercoats. The books we are going to discuss are Zurak's The Book Thief for our fiction choice, and "An Evil Cradling" for our non fiction. We will also do our book swaps if anyone wants to bring some books along. Will post a reminder nearer the time but also as usual welcome anyone who would like to join us

Hi everyone, How about this for a wacky title, "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Schaffer. Came well recommended by a colleague at work who is an avid reader. I might give it a try

I wonder if publishers choose these odd titles just to get them noticed???
I've bought The Book Thief but am very put off by the blurbs - don't know if I'm up for anything which seems so sad.
