Book Club - Redbourn,St.Albans,Harpenden

[April81]

Hi, I moved to Redbourn last year and looking to join or start a book club. Could you please let me know of a local one or if anyone is interested in starting one?

I am definitely up for the next meet but am out quite a bit next week so can't do.

Like the idea of the conspicuous book but my copy's on a kindle. Look for the woman with the red kindle and very curly brown hair...

Can you not reserve a table maybe.....

I'd love to join you if that's OK! Provided babysitting works out (also known as DH getting himself home from work on time!), I should be able to make it next week . . .

well done ladies on reviving the thread and making a plan. i'd love to join in too. have ordered the book and will work on the babysitter. 8pm next wed in the cock in harpenden. hope to see you there and then.

Yep, I'm in too. See you next week.

Oh this is great! So glad there are quite a few who can come.

I think I'd better re-read 'Room'. Just realised I can't remember as much of it as I thought.

Yup, I need to refresh my acquaintance as well... either that or find the grown-up book club equivalent of York notes!

If anyone from Redbourn needs a lift, would be happy to pick them up!

hi there did this book club get going ? i'm interested in joining thx

Yup, at The Cock, Harpenden High Street, Weds 25th, 8pm. Bring a copy of Room so we stand a chance of spotting each other.

Hi everyone, just bumping for tomorrow!

Grrr, husband has just sent a text to say that his flight is late and there is a huge queue at passport control, so he won't be back for ages. Tempting though it may be to leave the sleeping seven year old in charge of the younger two, it means I'm not going to be able to make tonight. Please let me know the next book and venue and I'll improve the quality of nagging to see if I can get the husband home on time! Hope you all had /have fun discussing the book!

Sorry you couldn't make it Dragon. The next meeting will be Weds 23rd May at 8pm, The Old Cock Inn, Harpenden.

The book is 'The Marriage Plot' by Jeffrey Eugenides.

had a great time last night, really enjoyed meeting everyone. Look forward to seeing you next time, Dragon!

Book ordered.

Will be there.

Hi all, I was soo looking forward for this, but came down with a bad ear infection two days before the 24th :-(. I'm getting the book and will be there for the next one....

For anyone who's interested in the Children's Book Festival at Luton Hoo on 20th May:

Did this meeting take place? If so, can you let me know the date of the next meeting and the book title pls?

yes, onto book three. The Thread by Victoria Hislop, wed 4th july 8pm cock inn, harpenden. see you there!

Thank you katestalbans. Need to order the book now!

Hi ladies,
I'mmoving to St Albans at the end of July and would be really interested in joining in with you if that's possible? I love reading and think a book group would be a good way to motivate me to read rather than watch tv in the evening! I'd also like to meet other mums in St Albans. Will you be meeting in August onwards?

Hi everyone, apologies, I'm afraid I'm having to go to a work do tomorrow so will have to miss this one. Sorry! Do post here to say what the next book is.

I would be interested in coming now that I have rediscovered reading. Am now reading the Illiad by Homer. But I would be interested in knowing what you are all reading.

Hi edam, we missed you this month!

The next book is 'The Tiger's Wife' by Tea Obreht. Meeting is Weds 8th August. Usual place.
