Dear Book clubbers,

I invited Michel Faber to our meeting but sadly he cant come. He did send this though:

Dear Chick,

I don't mind you asking at all, and please send my best wishes to everyone at the book club and tell them that I would have loved to be there. On Wednesday I am actually booked to attend a Canongate event in Ladbroke Grove but I think it's highly likely I will have to cancel this at the last minute.

So maybe I should have asked before.

Look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.

Chick

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to the last meeting, I hope you all enjoyed the evening.

The next meeting is Wednesday 6th August and the next book is Woman on the edge of time by Marge Piercy.

See you all then.

Hi there

Of course just turn up.

Thanks to everyone who came to the last meeting.


Our next meeting is on 17th September at 8.00pm in the Clockhouse.


Our chosen book is Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil by John Berendt.

I met up with the partner of Bianca Son yesterday. Sadly Bianca died suddenly on 30th June. Bianca had just finished her PhD at Soas and was looking forward to having more time for activities such as the book club. She had a very interesting life and I will send out a brief synopsis soon.


Hope to see you all soon.


Chick

Anybody want me to order the book from Rye Books (15% discount)

Greetings,


I have applied to be included in the following, having read under the skin. We may if we are successful have to submit a video review, would you mind this?


Thanks




Chick.

See you tonight.

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to our last meeting.

The next book is ”Before I go to Sleep” by SJ Watson.

Will post the date of our next meeting on Monday.

Chick

Greetings,


The next meeting is on 29th October at the Clockhouse. Sorry it's so far away but lots of time to read the book.


For those of you who new Bianca I have sent a brief history of this remarkable woman.


For those of you who never met her you are welcome to read her history.

For those who ordered books, they are at Rye Books.


Thanks,




Chick

Greetings,

Michel Faber's Latest book.

I have seven copies of this not yet published book for any takers if you are prepared to review it and it may be some of you will have a video interview.


It's called "The Book of Strange New Things" and these copies are not proof read so are unusual and may be fun. First come first served.


Thanks





Chick.

One week to go and I am on page 40. Any one want the Faber book and I will bring some along?

I will if there is one spare! For some reason my follow this thread was disconnected but had this date in diary from last time so see you there shortly

Caroline

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to last Wednesdays meeting.
A big welcome to Claire and Laura.
Our next book is The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson.

[www.theguardian.com]
Those who wanted copies they are in Rye books waiting for collection.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 26th November at the Clockhouse in the Blake room upstairs.
Claire can you send me an email address please.
We will set a date for our December meal, probably Wednesday 10th of December, how does that suit you?

Cheers

Dear book clubbers,
The general feeling I am getting is the preference for the December meal is the Sema Thai in Lordship Lane on the 10th 0r 11th December. I have no preference for the dates but will you please let me know your preferred date and are you happy with Sema Thai or would you prefer somewhere else? There are several good Indian restaurants including Tandoori Nights and a good Chinese. The sooner we book the better.
There are still two books to collect from Rye Books.
See you on the 26th.
Cheers
Chick

Hi Chick

I won't be able to make it this week but do keep me posted on next month's book. I am hoping to be able to attend the dinner but just need to check work diary.

Thanks,
Caroline

Do try and come along tonight whether you have read the book or not. We are lucky to have a visit from Michel Faber, a world class author, is coming to visit our little band of book worms.


Cheers,

Chick

Hi all
Sorry to have missed the last get together. Still on holiday and only just finished 'The other side of the bridge', which I thought was fantastic. Not sure I can make the Christmas meal as land that day. I see the next book has been chosen so will get onto downloading it ready for the 7th.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and see you all in the new year.
Claire
