Started by my brother. He chose 100 years of solitude as the first book. I was the only one who finished it. After that book nobody wanted to be in a book club anymore :) I hope your club lasts MUCH longer :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524009835775611112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741225767902135183.post-87325722071083226772014-04-04T22:35:52.318+08:002014-04-04T22:35:52.318+08:00I quite enjoy the food and wine too.

We actually had a Tim Winton book chosen for this month (his new one Eyrie), but we weren't able to get any through the library and being knew it was still only in hard cover and expensive, so this was the second option.

I joined a great bookclub here, but have struggled to keep up with the readings.. a few key members left town and the meeting time was changed to a night that didn't suit me, so I haven't been for a few months. I do miss it though!

But only if it was like yours, I'm not into all the literary brown-nosing either. It's why I keep any book reviews I do on my blog simple and non-book-snobbery! <br /><br />I too am a devourer of books and stopped reading so much when my first daughter as born. But oncce she hit about 9 months I realised how much I loved it and missed it and made a decision to make time for it again. Since then I've read a chapter of a book every night before bed, only missing a few nights here and there. Now that number 2 daughter is here I find it more important that ever to spend that time reading, I look forward to it everyday, it's the one time of the day that I get all to myself, when the house is quiet, and it's just for me.<br /><br />New reader here, found you via the #weekendrewind and look forward to reading more. xxKylie Purtellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185153539010825877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741225767902135183.post-2848255583969632912014-04-04T09:28:01.196+08:002014-04-04T09:28:01.196+08:00I'd like a book club.

There is the local mum's group and the virtual book group over at Circle of Pines, organised by Laura (http://circleofpinetrees.com/year-books-march/). The local group meets about every 6 weeks and we take turns choosing a book. The last book we read was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. It is children's book but a worthy read for adults, too. Our next book is Cloud Street by Tim Winton. The mum's book group is very much a social affair with nibbles drinks and lots of chatting and of course a chat about the book of the day. The virtual book group is less focused on one title, we all just choose a book and read it and briefly write about it. Join in, it is great fun, I have found so many titles I would not normally read. I haven't read the Joanne Harris book yet but will add it to my wish list. I am with you when it comes to owning books! I have now started buying second hand books, which is still better than borrowing. Happy reading.
