Shall we resurrect our Bookclub?


We were chatting last night at the Quiz and some new members expressed an interest in the Bookclub. I know we tried this before and it sort of petered out, but perhaps it is time to revisit it?

If you are interested, perhaps you could put your hand up and also give an idea of the types of genre you like to read?

Re: Shall we resurrect our Bookclub?


I'm willing to try reading any book, I tend to prefer factual books nowadays, mostly about animals, UFOs, ghosts, gemstones/crystals, stuff like that.

Currently OH and I have so many books we need to have a clear out before we even borrow books from anyone.

I am interested and will read almost anything apart from Catherine Cookson sort of books.
Oddly enough I have started a bookswop thing with 4 friends form work.

Re: Shall we resurrect our Bookclub?


I'd definitely like to restart it; my genre is fiction: thrillers, psychological suspense, sci-fi, historical, some fantasy; I'll generally read anything if it's fiction.

Re: Shall we resurrect our Bookclub?


I would also go for fiction. I think it may be hard for a bookclub to discuss the merits of a factual book. Fiction, I like crime, sci-fi, thrillers, suspense and anything a bit peculiar (!!!) but not horror or Barbara Cartland-type novels.

Re: Shall we resurrect our Bookclub?


Has anyone read all the books in George R. R. Martin's Ice and Fire Series? The new one is out ............ if I'm not mistaken, wasn't this on TV there lately?

Spooky, Eileen - I am reading the first in the series A Game of Thrones, having watched the TV series. Have to say the series was spot on so far.
