I went into WHSmiths to get the book I need for the book club I hope to go to but it wasn't stocked. So I trawled the charity bookshops in the hope that I might strike lucky but no joy. Finally found it in an Independent book shop so I now have the book to read! I have to say reading the blurb on the back it looks really good.
So I emailed the guy organising the group for the time of the group so I am kind of commited to going now and I am looking forward to it. It is not for ages so have lots of time to read the book and think of intelligent things to say!
Plus I got an Adele Parks book called Husbands for £1 in one of the charity shops which I can't wait to read. What a bargain!
Yay for the book club! Glad you decided to do it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI am have found out the time so no excuses now!
What book is it?
ReplyDeleteHusbands is awesome, I loved it! Hey, guess what? Adele Parks commented on my blog once! How incredibly amazing is that!
That is so exciting! It must feel so surreal to have a message from her!
ReplyDeleteThe book is 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' by John Irving. On first glance it looks like a book I would never pick up but the first line of the blurb on the back grabs my interest:
"Eleven-year old Owen Meany, playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire, hits a foul ball and kills his best friend's mother."
Am looking forward to reading it....may sneak in Husbands first!
