New term, new pencil case and new spin on bookclub. For the following months we're inviting Britain's top authors to come and chat to Mumsnet bookclubbers, and it'll be your decision which of their titles is up for discussion. As usual, there will be a choice of four paperbacks - the author's latest, plus three backlist books - and you will vote for the one you'd like as our Book of the Month. The author will join us at the end of the month and you can put every question to them, whether about the chosen book or anything else.
To kick off the season, SEBASTIAN FAULKS is joining us as Author of the Month on Thursday 30 September, 8-9.30pm. A prolific writer for radio, TV and newspapers, he is the author of thirteen books and was awarded the CBE in 2002. We've picked four bestsellers for our September selection- which one will be your favourite to win Book of the Month?
The poll is now open and will close at midnight on Monday 13 September.
We'll get together to discuss the winner and talk to Sebastian on Thursday 30 September, 8-9.30 pm (take note, it is not a Tuesday as usual)
And for those new to Bookclub, here is how it works
