DISUK Book Club -Too Close to Home, Linwood Barclay

[Dimplenose]

It seems as though enough of us would like to have a book club to make it work. I've had enough suggestion to create a 6 month list. If this works I'll ask for more titles during August to create the next list.)

April - 'We need to talk about Kevin' by Lionel Shriver(discuss from 1st May)
May - The Voluptuous Delights of Peanut Butter and Jam by Lauren Liebenberg (discuss from 1st June)
June - Lucky by Alice Sebold (Discuss from 1st July)
July-The price of love by Nikola T.James (Discuss from 1st August)
August - Ninteen minutes by Jodi Picoult (discuss 1st September)
September - Too Close to Home, Linwood Barclay(discuss from 1st October)

The discussion for Too Close to Home has started on post #182.

Don't forget the new bookclub list can be found on this thread New DISUK Booclub List

This thread is getting too many book suggestions so I've started a new thread for them

I am not going to be able to take part this month as I have a dissertation and exams to study for so any reading I will be doing will be my unit reading.

my suggestion is Nervous Conditions -Tsitsi Dangarembga,

 

[Dimplenose]

Thanks for your suggestions - I've added thefirst ones to the list. Interestingly it contains two books that I have purposley decided not to read in the past, but I'll give them a go as it will be interesting to see if the books are more appealing than their blurb makes out.

Wideeyes, if you don't mind, I'll not add any more titles for a few months - this will give time for the club to establish and for more titles to come out in paperback, but do remind me of your title in August when I plan to write the new list.

Have fun everyone.

ETA Quite a few of these books seem to have quite disturbing plots - I think we might need to get a better balance for the next list.

I shall order the first one this evening, looking forward to this

Hey. So want to take part will only be able to read the first book (hopefully) as im going to WDW in 3weeks + moving out of country in May x

Anyone have an old copy of The Common Lawyer by Mark Gimenez. I have read his first two books but for some reason the other two are not published here in the US. I used to love reading but when I had my twins there was just no time to read. I just started back up and discovered Mark Gimenez and would love to read his other two books. Thanks mommyoftwinfants.

Looking forward to the first thread!

 

[Dimplenose]

Ohh! Can I join?
