Sorry I missed the 10th! Was my bday. Hope it was a good one. Did a date/ book get picked for next time? Will be better at reading this time!! X

Eek, I'm going to struggle to get there too! Also, have found the book impossible to get into this month - my pick I know :/. I'll also PM my vote for next time, sorry not to be able to make it. x

Hi everyone, Hope it?s been a good month. Here are the suggestions to vote on next week, as promised. All banned books on different themes: See you soon, Becky x 1) The Well of Loneliness - Radclyffe Hall Hall?s lesbian romance was the subject of an obscenity trial despite featuring no explicit or erotic scenes. The story follows an upper-class woman who falls in love with a female ambulance driver during World War One, but is rejected by her family and society because of the relationship. The campaign against it was spearheaded by the then-editor of the Sunday Express and a British court judged it obscene for its ?unnatural practises between women?. In 1949 it was republished without challenge and has been in print continuously since.? 2) Not Without My Daughter - Betty Mahmoody This is the true story of Betty Mahmoody who travelled to Iran from the US to meet her husband?s family. Once there she realised that her husband and his family had always intended them to stay, and that she and her daughter were trapped with an increasingly violent man in a society where most women were treated as property. This account of her attempts to escape with her daughter was banned in Iran for its depiction of the patriarchal culture there. 3) The Last Weapon - Theodora Wilson Wilson In 1916, Theodora Wilson Wilson, a Quaker and a pacifist, published a novel, The Last Weapon, which made a powerful statement against war. It was so popular that it was reprinted three times in 1916. Theodora depicted fictional characters who represented the arms trade, the imperialists, the hypocritical politicians and people of the church. She even predicted a weapon of mass destruction, which was, its proponents claimed, a superior weapon that would defeat the enemy: Hellite. It could be Trident. The book?s message as it flew round the country would have stopped recruitment. By 1917, the government had banned the book. 4) Into the River - Ted Dawe Into the River, the coming-of-age story of a Maori boy whose intelligence wins him a place at a prestigious boarding school, where he faces racism and bullying, won Dawe the 2013 New Zealand Post Margaret Mahy Book of the Year award. Its ban has prompted a wave of outrage from New Zealanders, authors and the international book community, with silent readings planned tomorrow (2015) in Auckland, Dunedin and Wellington as the literary world throws its weight behind Dawe.

Lovely to meet you all at book club yesterday evening. To vote on in June, I wondered if you've done 'banned books' before? https://www.theguardian.com/books/banned-books-week. If not I could pick a few titles under that theme? Have a great month, I'm looking forward to starting Kitchen. Becky

Sounds great! See you then :)

Book sounds great. I'm a newbie and hoping to join on the 24th if that's cool (and if I can read the book by then! :)) Becky x

Hello, I'm a little late to reply, but would definitely be interested in this, have been looking for a course for some time and the picture house would be a fab location!
