Book List 2017

[Kathryn]

Ok going to start planning the new order for next year. Let me know who is active on here now. May will be Annabel's choice as I think that was her birthday so will pick out a book from her list. Should we do that randomly or discuss what we want to read on her list?

[Jon]

I am still here Kathryn. Will start thinking about new books for next year. I think it's a lovely thought to dedicate May to Annabel. Would be nice if we could choose a book she would have liked.

[Dianne]

I am still active on the list. Dedicating may to annabel, i agree, is a lovely idea.

[Kathryn]

I've saved her book list so I'll post them up later

[Tracy]

I dip in from time to time so will keep a look out. Lovely idea to dip into Annabel's list.

[Kathryn]

First five months sorted so far I will generate the order and we go from there. Robert we will pencil in for the end of the year just in case. We can always change it.

[Kathryn]

Well I'm April so my birthday. First time generating so hope it's working

[Kathryn]

Reddragon you are February

[Kathryn]

[Kathryn]

So Tracy you are March

[Dianne]

Can i choose the giver, lois Lowry,for my book please? I've been meaning to read it for ages

[Kathryn]

Sure.The Giver

[Kathryn]

Any suggestions for the series? I would like to do the girl with the dragon's tattoo etc but does anyone else has something they want to read. I don't think any of us did this years with everything so happy to leave that up also.

[Tracy]

For March can we do , this is book 1, there is also a book 2 if we like it,

I have read Dragon series, very good.

[Dianne]

The book didnt come up, i think, tracey.
Ive read the dragon series too.

[Dianne]

Sorry, just my ipad glitching!

[Kathryn]

Dee I sent it as a recommended book as my phone is playing up.

[Kathryn]

I'm doing good bought the two books for Christmas for myself

[Dianne]

Good for you! Its good to spoil yourself! I always buy a birthday and christmas present for myself, i get what i want that way! Lol

[Kathryn]

I'm having trouble choosing a book so sorry to keep you waiting for mine.

[Dianne]

It will be worth the wait! X

[Dianne]

Regarding series, i would love to read the game of thrones series of books, i know they are big books, but if someone fancies the challenge, i am up for it!

[Kathryn]

Happy with that one. I already have most of them.

[Dianne]

Wow! Im impressed, they are long. I have them all but have been putting off reading them for ages, so this would make me face them!

[Kathryn]

Yep me too. Been picking them up once I seen them in charity shops.

[Kathryn]

Okay thinking of Alan Titchmarsh the haunting. It be a light read but let me know if you can't get hold of it and I'll swap.

[Jon]

sorry but I am still thinking about my choice too. game of thrones sounds good, I am up for it.

[Dianne]

Great reddragon! The haunting is great for me, it is in kindle!

[Kathryn]

He not easy to pick up. It be a gentle read if it goes by his other novels. Cried my eyes out with Only Dad

[Dianne]

Never read one of his, i will look forward to it now.

[Jon]

really excited about next year's books. I am still plodding through one flew over the cuckoo's nest

[Kathryn]

Yep a good selection and only the first half so we could get to pick again. No rush for them though we see how we feel.

[Tracy]

Not read any Alan Titsmarsh, I loved him in the gardening show. I probably won't do GOT, I am carrying on with the Frieda series that Annabel liked. But it's good to dip in and out, I have a few to catch up on. I review a few books on Netgalley, it's a good way to get free books. Do any of you do that?

[Kathryn]

Nope but I'll look into it. Thinking of a Christmas one for December? We should have spare if we double up,

[Jon]

that Frieda series was from Monday to Friday wasn't it?
I loved that series.

[Tracy]

There's a Saturday one now too. It is a good series.

[Tracy]

I think the Saturday one is not quite out yet, Google is playing up this morn on phone!

[Kathryn]

Oh I have credits on Amazon to use up by January

[Dianne]

The saturday one is out on kindle now, i read it a couple of months ago. Great series!

[Tracy]

Thanks Dee, I will scoop it up.

[Kathryn]

Ok free with the credit saved up

[Tracy]

Nice one Kathryn. It was obviously meant to be

[Dianne]

Sounds good, enjoy!

[Jon]

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas?
If I am not too late, could I choose Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie for February?

[Dianne]

Thats a good choice!

[Kathryn]

Never too late. I will add it in now.

[Jon]

I have always wanted to read it, but never got round to it.

[Tracy]

Merry Christmas everyone. It's a beautiful book. The film version was pretty good too.

[Sophie]

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've been spending a lot of time studying and have neglected reading for fun. Had a good Christmas myself. Hope you all had a good Christmas. Could I choose The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defectors Story?

[Kathryn]

Yes Robert. Glad to have you back. I'll add it in now.
