Baby Book Club

[Dudley]

Dear all,

I am thinking of starting a book club for parents who have babies.

I have done a quick search on the forum and there are a few book clubs in the area - Green and Black and I know the WI has one but from what I could tell they all take place in the evening after 7pm.

Because of my little one late evening is not that suitable and I was wondering if anyone else was in a similar position.

I really love reading and discussing books and I would love to discuss them with other Mum's (or Dads!)

I am thinking of having a meeting once a month, on a week day at around 2 or 3pm somewhere on Lordship Lane (with babies)!

I can also host in my house now and again.

If a book club like this already exists please let me know!

If not and anyone was interested in joining me, let me know.

Best,

Laura.

Yes I'd defo be interested!! And agree on day time to do it, makes sense to me too....

I need to start reading again! Would need somewhere with supervised creche for babySB though - he's far too demanding!! In all seriousness I'd be keen but it's hard to control the older babies/toddlers...but would certainly give it a go!

I'd be interested, though agree with snowboarder that could be hard to control the little'uns!

Still read loads, though have switched to much more trashy, unchallenging reading - a colleague at work tells me this phase of reading could last many years!

Dear Mums,

Thanks for replying!

There are about 6 of us, so I am going to make a proposal.

I have had some private posts too.

How about Tues 20 April at 2 pm in The Plough.

That should give us some space.

That is 5 weeks from now so hopefully we can all get a book read by then!

Book wise I was thinking The Outcast by Sadie Jones.

This should be easy enough to pick up second hand from Amazon or the library.

The main thing is that it is a informal book club for Mums and that we don't have to worry if the little ones are feeding, playing or crying while with us!

The Plough should be fine for the little ones to have a little play.

Eventually if things go well and we are still able for it we can always go to the park during the good weather.

This should be better for the older ones.

Let me know if this suits you?

Best,

Laura
