Hope you have enjoyed the two reads from the last month and if not, we will have a lot to talk about!

I am super organised this time around and can give you the heads up on the two reads for next month.

See you Thursday,
P.S. don't forget to bring in previous reads to put back into the collection, cheers!

This months reads have been distributed, don't forget to drop them back in the shute as soon as you have finished them for the rest of the group to catch up. Alternatively, you can ask our friendly staff to collect a copy of what you missed out on and they will happily return with it from the nether regions of the library!

Book Club on tonight at Gordon White Library - 6-8pm in the Meeting Room

Don't forget to bring all your books in to return to their sets! I am looking forward to hearing what you all thought of The Dressmaker and Not Drowning Reading.....there has been discontent afoot!

Prime Minister's Literary Award Winner for Fiction is...Foals Bread.

What the judges said: 'In this strong field, it was the unanimous decision of the judges that the winner of the 2012 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction we recommend is Gillian Mears for Foal’s Bread. Written in transfixing prose and with an–at times–aching affinity for the harsh landscape the book describes, Foal’s Bread is an extraordinary work of remarkable strength and originality.'

So there it is, whether you liked or it or not, it is a unique book worthy of acknowledgement.

Two titles read and two more selected......

It was great to see everyone return for the second Book Club meet up and welcome some new faces to the group. I hope you all enjoyed the evening discussing 'Foals Bread' and 'Before I go to sleep', trying not to spoil the ending for the half who haven't read them yet!

 For a great review of Gillian Mears new book click here. For a great review of S.J.Watson click here

As predicted there were some that loved them, others that didn't but interesting discussion about the writers prose and devices was had. 

So to the current choices for this month are:

Happy Reading!

Second Book Club meet up tonight, 14th June, 2012.
