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.

    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.

    I liked the BBC series. I thought they did the books very well and didn't change too much. I may have to rewatch that actually.

    I will do my best to write a synopsis once I've finished. The books of dust are particularly long and complicated and I'd really have to do a synopsis of the 2nd 2 together as they are both the events after his dark materials. The 1st book of dust is the prequel - I particularly enjoyed this one.
