Join us tomorrow night for our last Thursday Book Club for 2023

And suddenly 2023 is coming to an end! Tomorrow night is our last Thursday Book Club for 2023 and I'd be delighted if you could bring a list of your three top reads for the year (new, old, classic whatever books you most enjoyed reading this year).  

If you can't be with us online tomorrow, please email me your selections and I'll pop them in the newsletter when we come back next year. You'll also go in the draw for our first giveaway for 2024.

We have some terrific writers set to join us at Thursday Book Club in 2024.  We'll kick off with Alan Gold in February before welcoming a host of other writers including debut author Liz Foster, internationally bestselling novelist, Karen Viggers and The Australian/Vogel's Literary Award winner, Marija Peričić, who all have new novels coming out in 2024.

I asked Marija Peričić and Liz Foster for their summer book recommendations.  Marija chose Sagittarius by Natalia Ginzburg, Is Mother Dead by Vigdis Hjorth and A Far Cry from Kensington by Muriel Spark.  Liz Foster chose The Mystery Guest  by Nita Prose, The Last Letter from Your Lover by Jojo Moyes and Behind the Seams:My Life in Rhinestones by Dolly Parton.

To you all, our Thursday Book Club community, thank you for your support and energy and good wishes this year - I relish your company in all its guises: online, by email and in person.  

I'd also like to give a big shout out to Abbey's Bookshop and Katrina Davis for their fabulous book recommendations. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us next year.

In the meantime, may you all have a happy festive season and a peaceful and happy new year.
