Thursday 12th November - Warwick Arms

Apologies for the lateness of this update, life seems to have got very hectic recently. We met (ages ago) to discuss 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll. To be honest there wasn't much to discuss! I think we were thinking that there might be some adult themes and hidden messages but it was exactly the same story I remember from childhood. I forgot to take a vote, but no one particularly hated it.

We chose our next book from the following winter themed books:

• The Snow Queen - Hans Christian Andersen
• The Winter House - Nikki Gerrard
• If on a Winters Night a Traveller - Italo Calvino
• Love Begins in Winter - Simon van Booy
• Skipping Christmas - John Grisham
• A Country Christmas - Miss Read
• The Winter King - Bernard Cornwell
• The True Deceiver - Tove Jansson

We chose 'The Winter King' by Bernard Cornwell. It was a close run thing with 'Skipping Christmas' running a close second.

The next meeting will be on Thursday 10th December. It was suggested in the October meeting that we hold the meeting at someone's house to avoid the Christmas rush in town. I'll confirm who's house it will be by email.
