As I write, the last book group of the year has yet to meet, but family circumstances mean I won’t be able to get along to it. It’ll go ahead as usual, however, kindly hosted by Ann Coburn. I’m looking forward to hearing how Pat Barker’s Life Class went down with everyone.
This entry is to let everyone know the dates and book choices for the next four months.
The meetings will be held as usual in the very hospitable venue of Doolally’s in Marygate and the dates/books are as follows:
Tues January 27th: Constitutional by Helen Simpson
Tues Feb 24th: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Tues March 24th: God’s Own Country by Ross Raisin
Tues April 28th: Out Stealing Horses by Per Pettersen
Get them on your Christmas list if it’s not too late – otherwise do order them from Kim at Doolally’s and remember to ask for your 5% discount as a member of the Berwick Book Group.
They’re also linked to some events in the region. Helen Simpson is participating in an event in Newcastle on 31st January and Things Fall Apart is celebrated in an event planned for 14th March.
There are some suggestions for books in May and June, linked to a planned promotion of North-East writers, but these are yet to be confirmed. And – a long way in the distance! - plans for a summer reading party for July (thoughts and ideas welcome on this!).
Have a good meeting on December 16th!
