is anyone interested in forming one with me? I was in one years ago and loved it. Anyone interested - not avirtual one, one where you meet up and chat and have a glass of wine? Is this the right place to post?

faeriemum, are you? so that's three of us then. How many do you think we'd need - 6? must be able to come up with a couple more people. my thought was to take it in turns to host it and choose books that are avilable at the library unless waterstones would give us adiscount. I'll call them and ask!

thanks, Lio that'd be good! I know what you mean about knowing people, so not at all pathetic!, I sometimes feel that as I am a WAHM and forget to get out and about! That's why I thought an actual bookgroup would be lovely.

Hi ska, 'bump' means a post from someone who can't necessarily answer your OP (Original Post) but is helping by keeping your thread in the 'top 60' list, which is what most people look at.

With regard to knowing anyone else, I realise this sounds mildly pathetic but actually I don't have many friends at all in the area There are a couple I can think of who might be interested, one of whom I'm seeing tomorrow (we go to the same bf support group). She's quite an enthusiastic soul, I'll let you know what she says (she's in Stevenage too).

Bump for you - I am in a book group already (Stevenage library) but might be persuaded to defect to yours for the wine
