Books to date 2018

I'm a bit behind in posting our books for this year.
So far we have read
Standard Deviation by  Katherine Heiny and Exit West by Mohsin Hamid        
Our next book is: Butterfly on a Pin by Alannah Hill

First book for 2018

Our first book for 2018 is Poum and Alexandre, a Paris memoir by Catherine de Saint Phalle.

Best books for 2017

The votes are in for 2017. We read six books in 2017. The top ranked ones were:

1. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
2. Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge
3. Hag Seed by Margaret Atwood

August 2017 book

Our next book for the August 2017 meeting is The Eye of the Sheep by Sofie Laguna

2nd book for 2017

The second book for our group for 2017 is Margaret Atwood's Hag Seed. We'll be meeting in early April to discuss the book, which is a retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

It's hard to believe, but we haven't done a Margaret Atwood book since 1999, when we read The Handmaid's Tale

Best books for 2016

In 2016 we read six books. We voted on the top books for the year and the first three were:

1. All the Birds Singing by Evie Wyld. 2. H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. 3. The Golden Years by Joan London.

All three are by female authors and two by Australians, although Wyld lives in the UK.

Station Eleven

Our next book is Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. This is Helen's choice and we will meet to discuss it next year, on 12th February 2017.
