Sunday's meeting has been cancelled

As most of us are unlikely to make Sunday's meeting I thought it best to postpone it - or perhaps we'll move straight onto October's meeting and discuss both books then? From the feedback I've received most of the group are struggling with our current read so that will probably work out better anyway. Can't wait to move onto our next read. Jo - I'll drop your book off over the next couple of days.

I've had a message from Emily to say she's hoping to read our next book and looking forward to meeting us at our October meeting so we may have a new member next time we get together.

See you in October - perhaps on 20th for our Another Year screening!

The Small Hand copies are here

All six copies of The Small Hand are already in my possession so if you would like an early copy please let me know and I'll drop you a copy over. Otherwise, I'll just bring them along to our next meeting on 25th. To whet your appetite I've just found this great Guardian review here. Just noticed it's a really short month for our read - hope my copy comes in soon :S See you all at The Big Cheese Film launch on Thursday!

Book lovers group at Nantwich Library

I thought I'd let you know that Nantwich Library will be launching a book lovers group on Friday 16th September. The aim of the group is to meet up every third Friday of the month to discuss books they have enjoyed. The topic for the first meeting, which begins at 2pm, will be holiday reads. If you go along don't forget to mention our book club.

I've ordered copies of The Small Hand at £1 a go

On my quest to make it cheaper for us all to partake in Bookworm activities, I'm experimenting with the library to find a way that works for us. I have just managed to bulk reserve six copies of our next read,The Small Hand by Susan Hill. It costs £1 for each reservation so perhaps we can start having a little collection on our book meets to cover this cost? No doubt the books will begin arriving earlier than our next get together so I will keep you posted as they arrive and if you would like an earlier copy let me know. If it works, £1 a book is far cheaper than any book we can buy and of course we are sustaining a crucial public service at the same time. If you think it's a bad idea let me know and I can cancel.

In the meantime, enjoy A Time of Gifts - I won't get my copy until 8th at least :( Glad it's a slim read.
