What are we reading for next month then Steve, what are your suggestions? I bet you've done a fair amount of research for a favourite!

[Stephen]

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]

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

[Chris]

Sounds good, but not sure I can read one every month!

HOWEVER, There are quite a lot of books in this theme I like the look of. Just downloaded (kindle)The Boy I Love by Marion Husband.

[Stephen]

that's fiction and non fiction though

[Chris]

Cool
