Hi Book Clubbers!
This week I received an email from another book club in the Sydney region and thought it might be worth checking out:
"Hi there! We're a Sydney based book club that started out just meeting up and discussing our thoughts on books we've read. This eventually turned into something much bigger! This year our novel 'The Painted Sky' written by five of our members was published by Random House and will be published in Germany in October. Writing a book with 5 team members is something that has never been done before. We want to reach out to other book clubs who may be inspired by our example and invite you to join our community. We think there's a lot of wasted talent out there that might see the light of day through writing together as a group. We hope that you would like to join our Facebook community or hop on over to our website for more info. Thanks!"
I have included the link here
Cheers

Greetings all!
This month the morning group will be discussing How to be a Good Wife by Emma Chapman, a story about Marta who has been married to Hector for longer than she can remember. She has always tried hard to be a good wife.
But now Hector has come home with a secret. And Marta is beginning to imagine - or revisit - a terrifying truth.
While the evening group will bo looking at Kevin Powers The Yellow Birds.
"The war tried to kill us in the spring," begins this breathtaking account of friendship and loss. In Al Tafar, Iraq, twenty-one-year old Private Bartle and eighteen-year-old Private Murphy cling to life as their platoon launches a bloody battle for the city. In the endless days that follow, the two young soldiers do everything to protect each other from the forces that press in on every side: the insurgents, physical fatigue, and the mental stress that comes from constant danger.
Bound together since basic training when their tough-as-nails Sergeant ordered Bartle to watch over Murphy, the two have been dropped into a war neither is prepared for. As reality begins to blur into a hazy nightmare, Murphy becomes increasingly unmoored from the world around him and Bartle takes impossible actions.
Cheers
