Hi Jimmy – at the moment we are reading Fingersmith, and are due to talk about it on 1 October (which doesn’t leave you much time to read the book, but you can join us if you’re only partway into it)
There was a post which listed the first 4 books, but honestly Jimmy we may have to rethink the next book as it may be hard to get hold of. We’d love…[Read more] -

BOOK GROUP 2 weeks, 3 days agoAnother update folks – the 24th doesn’t suit us all. How about 1 October 2020 at 9 pm?

BOOK GROUP 2 weeks, 3 days agoHi all – I finished the book last week and wow! what a riveting read. I found the ending very satisfying and the characters incredibly sympathetically drawn. I hope you’re all enjoying it as much as me.
Would it suit all if we changed the date of our discussion night? I can no longer make the 10th – I have no internet where I am staying. I…[Read more]

BOOK GROUP 1 month agoHiya Readers!
Fingersmith – how are you all getting on?
I am 3/4 way in and loving it – very twisty plot with lots of surprises. Quite different from Tipping the Velvet, I find I’m reminded a little of a Charles Dickens book.
I propose giving us a little more time – I have a couple of friends who’d like to participate but haven’t had much…[Read more]

BOOK GROUP 1 month, 2 weeks agoHi Friends!
Gosh it’s hot in my part of the UK at the moment! So it’s been the ideal opportunity to pull a chair into the shade and crack open our latest read – Fingersmith by Sarah Waters.
I have previously read 2 other books by Sarah Waters, she is an accomplished writer who tends to write stories with a period backdrop. This novel, like…[Read more]

BOOK GROUP 2 months, 1 week agoWonderful news Brigit, I look forward to you joining us for the book discussions later this month. I finished The Wife Between Us this weekend and was really impressed. Like you the fact there were 2 authors was not detectable, they must work together seamlessly!
I could feel menace as I read the book, and deception and secrets. I kept guessing…[Read more]

Book Group 2 months, 2 weeks agoI have finished ‘book 1’ and I’m onto the 2nd book now. The 2 authors thing is seamless. The first twist took me totally by surprise, I was caught out making assumptions and was I wrong. There is an all pervading menace to the book which has definitely increased now I am half-way in.
I am reminded of genre which includes The Girl on the Train and…[Read more] -

This is interesting missy – so much I didn’t know, but it makes sense when you set it out this way

BOOK GROUP 2 months, 3 weeks agoWell I have downloaded the book and am about to start reading.
As well as losing myself in the plot – which I’m gathering is packed with surprises because we are told not to assume we know the ‘anatomy’ of a love triangle – I shall be wondering how two authors write together.
Will there be two distinct voices or will they blend seamlessly…[Read more]

Ohh KW – I am frustrated for you too that you didn’t finish in time to join our chat (because I’m afraid there were some spoilers in our discussion!) but I’m so happy you have got 3/4 way through and hope you will read on to the end because there are several more twists to come! Once read you might be interested to read through what was said on…[Read more]

Hi @posychurchgate I’m still getting through, it is only getting better. I will definitely read The Wife Between Us – looking forward to chatting to you all then.

Book Group 2 months, 4 weeks agoTomorrow people! Discussing The Giver of Stars, at 9 pm GMT.
If you haven’t read the book but want to get a feel for how the chat will flow, why not log in. I’ve prepared a few questions in case the conversation dries, but I’m hoping the sharing will be organic and informal – that’s how I roll!

Ha Ha! I just tried audible for the first time and loved it! I may stay with it (past the free 1 month trial) so that I can juggle my book consumption!)

I find it fantastic value for money – for one credit I got the whole Sherlock Holmes collection! The only downside for me is they don’t have family bookshelf, unlike Kindle where you can share books throughout you household.

I am so delighted you can join us! Much as we love our children, having a break from them is a blissful ‘pass’ to much needed me time! If you want to join on Thursday to get a feel for things, please do. Maybe it’ll make you want to read ‘stars’ which I honestly feel enhanced my life!
