With elliej84 taking a step back from organising this after doing a sterling job over the past two years, from 2019 we have four volunteers who'll run one quarter each. I'm happy to kick off with the first choice, followed by mattydog , peppercricket and geminii in that order, unless any of you have any objections. (If so let me know and I'll swap things around.) I'll pick a book and post details next week so those who want to join in have plenty of time to get hold of it and read it! The discussion thread will open at the beginning of January - but remember that you don't have to rush to read the book by then, and anyone can add their views to the thread at any time, even long after the quarter has ended. |

Thanks for taking charge Penny ..  I am happy to 'do a turn', however, and this is a shout out to everyone else .. I would be equally happy to relinquish my slot if someone would like to take a turn .. As I am pencilled in for Q4, you have plenty of time to climb into the hot seat ..  |

I really enjoyed the four books we read for this years Club - thanks go to Penny, Jeanine and Janice (oh, and me ) who all suggested great reads .. Not wishing to step on any toes, but looking forward to 2020, we need 4 Volunteers for the next 4 Quarters .. Who would like to put their name down ?? |

I'm not taking over the organisers mantle, but perhaps you should slot straight into Quarter 1 .. Would you be able to suggest a book within the next month ?? |

Actually, pennyt and spoke about this recently, and once it was off and running there was no organiser, so after she asked for volunteers it sort of ran itself for the year. I said I would post about next year's volunteers, and hey presto you got in first! Lovely, we can continue on. Yes I can suggest a book for the first slot. Give me a week to go through my lists for a suitable read. |

Calling Out For Volunteers !! Huge thanks to Mrs M for her brilliant choice for Quarter 1 .. however, for this Book Club to continue, we need 3 more of you to be willing to make a reading suggestion for us .. I really don't want to take on the mantle, but I really enjoy this and would hate to see it fizzle out .. so, please put your name down here ASAP and we can get a read sorted out for Q2 and beyond .. If we don't have any response by the end of Feb, I have a few suggestions, which I could put forward in a Poll .. |

On the pretext that lots of us will be wanting to get straight into Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith later in the year, should we just name this as our Q4 read ?? Up to you .... |
