A book club - with a difference.

Lotus

Someone asked today if there is a book club, so I thought I'd try starting one. Not the usual type of club where everyone reads the same book - I thought we could write a synopsis of a book we've recently read, to give each other ideas for new books to read.

I have a Kindle subscription, so all of mine will be available on there for people who also subscribe.

  • I can't give a synopsis yet as I've not long started reading it but I've just started The Book of Dust: The Rose Field by Phillip Pullman. For those familiar with the series (or not) this is the third and final Book of Dust which is the trilogy that follows His Dark Materials. 

    This is quite a significant book for me as I read the first book of the Dark Materials trilogy over 25 years ago.

    Oh I forgot the third book in this trilogy was out, though as I read the other two from the library to support them, I might have to wait for a free copy! Thanks for reminding me, I will look into making a reservation!

    I too read them 23-24 years ago. I got recommended the original trilogy by my youngest sister who was 10 at the time. I had gone to uni but when I came home she used to want me to play daemons with her. 

    My son's reading Northern Lights at their school reading book!

    I'd be interested to read a synopsis if you could write one when you've finished reading it. I read His Dark materials years back and I'm currently watching the BBC series on iPlayer.
