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!

wendy33 - great idea

I am (notionally) the book club coordinator on Mumsnet but since the arrival of baby 2 I have not had the time.

If you have a look back in the threads (about a year or so) we had a few book discussions going.
in March 2004 and here . There are some others but I can't find them.

Possession was the first we read, also a light reading discussion of Green Grass by Rafaella Barker. Also Fingersmith.

Then we had a couple publisher sponsored ones - Babyface by Fiona Gibson and The Cruel Mother by Sian Busby where they gave away 10 free copies.

I've got quite a few ideas and maybe some tips and things if you want to contact me on contact another talker.

Love to join in if I get a moment!

It isn't off the ground yet - Tech is working on it at the moment. Hopefully it will be running in a couple of weeks.

We are in the process of setting up a library if you are interested - you could combine that with a discussion group.

Recently read My Sister's Keeeper, and One Child (Torey Hayden). Now on Angels & Demons (Dan Brown). I read anyrhing & everything on the bus each day.
