just to let the group know that ben aaronvitch is signing his latest book and doing a talk too for members in midlands area he is in waterstones high street Birmingham 13th November 7.30pm start £3 tickets from store you can call too.

joined netgalley.com recently there is a WW1 book got its A Broken World by Sebastian faulks et al

that's fiction and non fiction though

well every month now until nov 2018 a member choosen will nominate a ww1 related book for group to read if all agree.

its also fitting that the centenary of the end of WW1 will be rememberance sunday as 11th nov 2018 is on a sunday

well decided on an interesting one to start off with and also from now until my birthday in 2018 will have a WW1 related book

Stephen fry did a good lecture on Shakespeare and love. Al murray did a good chat with james Holland about Normandy and western front. chris Tarrant a heart felt chat about Normandy and his father. the prices good as well for the events (you should become a friend of hay £25 a year)

well was at hay again yesterday and enjoyed it back again on sunday and that's hay 2014 over then
