Month by Month Book Choices and Reviews

The March Option

Well this one is a bit off my normal radar. I'm not a great thriller reader but no point in being part of a book club if you aren't prepared to try something new.

We are reading "City of Bones" by Michael Connelly. I have to say I have read only 8 Chapters and so far so good. It isn't really my normal choice - the American dialogue rather annoys me but as it is set in America, what can you expect?

Anyway, I am plodding on. I am sure it will be a good read in the end.

I read the April option while on holiday. Now THAT was a great book. More of that next month!!!

February 2009

We are having a lighter set of books to read for our meeting in February.

Alistair Cooke's "Letter from America". (Oh how I remember this one! My first husband and I used to love to listen to the radio programmes and we read this back then. Very dear memories and a lovely broadcaster who is now no longer with us sadly.

To go with this we are also reading Alan Bennett's "The Uncommon Reader". Thankfully this is a small book which shouldn't take long. Heyho! Lots of good reading matter.

Our book for January is Shakespeare by Bill Bryson. We are meeting on 12th January at Jenny's house and will be discussing this and bringing books to select our next 2/3 months choices.

If you have any books which you would recommend or comments on the current month's choice, please do add a comment.
