I was thinking of starting a book club on here for people who are keen readers. I normally read true life memoirs like 'My Sisters Keeper'.

I was thinking we could choose a book to read. Allow a couple of weeks to read it, then when you have finished, come on here to discuss thoughts etc...

Anyone interested let me know asap! Just finished a book and want to start a new one!

Authors I've enjoyed recently are Anita Shreve, just read 'Light on Snow'- a great read and
I've recently discovered Mary Higgins Clarke (Remember Me and Daddy's Little Girl)- I must find out if she's written anything else.

At the moment I'm half way through 'One Child' and can't put it down - on to Tiger's Child next week!

Definitely the power of MN as DH had to go to the ASDA near his work to finally get the book. Glad I read this to see the deadline has moved so I might get One Child and read that first and then Tiger Child.

Have already got my copy of Shadow of the Wind so have a head start there!
