September Meeting

Thanks to Louise for hosting this month's meeting, cake and tea are always appreciated during serious book discussions.  We discussed 'A Place Called Here' by Cecelia Ahern.  I read this book quite a while ago and didn't get round to refreshing myself so I can only vaguely remember enjoying it as an easy read, but our little group was rather more scathing.  We felt we needed more, the story didn't seem to go anywhere and the characters lacked depth were some comments.  All in all, an ideal beach read but nothing to recommend.

None of us gave it the thumbs up - our first ever!

The book we chose during this meeting will be read over Halloween, so that was our theme.  We chose our next book from the following:
  • Unquiet Spirit by Derek Wilson
  • Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
  • Dracula by Bram Stoker
  • The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy
  • The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
We chose 'Practical Magic' by Alice Hoffman, we'll be reading this for the November meeting.

Our next meeting will be back at the Warwick Arms, 7:30pm on Wednesday 13th October.
