For our February meeting we will be reading a novel by Australian writer Kate Morton:
The House at Riverton also known as The Shifting Fog.
If you do not yet have a copy and are thinking of attending, please contact Marie at the library on 4560 4460 to have one put aside.
In March the theme will be the work of W. Somerset Maugham.

Welcome to our new blog
Hi everyone,
Tell us what you think about our new blog. Our aim is to make information about the book club accessible to all our current members and hopefully encourage new members to join us.
We will put all the lists of books we have read on here so that there will be an archive of previous meetings all in one place. I think this will be a lot easier than having to trawl back through individual emails as before.
Over time we will add more information. For now click on some of the topics at the top. 'Read It 2011" may be of particular interest to those looking for extra inspiration for reading.
If anyone has any trouble figuring out how to add a comment, give me (Marie) a call here at the library on (4560 4460).
