Thank-you for a very enjoyable meeting last week. It was certainly a lively discussion regarding the book House Rules by Jodi Picoult, and the trials and tribulations families face when raising a child with special needs.

A reminder that there is no April meeting so, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Safe, Happy and Eggcellent Easter.

Our next meeting will be Tue 31st May where we will be discussing the book, Parky: my autobiography.



Thanks,

Wendy

Our next meeting will be Tuesday 22nd February and we will be discussing 'The Year of the Flood" by Margaret Atwood, (purely coincidental, as this title was chosen last year).


We look forward to seeing you then,

Hi All!

If you are after any info about authors or titles please follow the link below.
Novelist is a website that has all the information you will need about a book or author.
It has book reviews, who writes like who suggestions, author, title and series recommendations, reading lists and a huge amount of other information you would need to find a good book.
Please be aware this is an American site so the depth of the Australian content isn't huge but it still is a great site for all your reading needs.

Cheers
David

Good day all!

The morning group will be meeting on the 22nd December at 10.30am in the library meeting room discussing Wanting by Richard Flanagan with the evening group meeting on the 15th December at 6.30pm and discussing Murray Bails The Pages.

In the new year there will be no January meeting for either group, we will be restarting on the 23rd February 2011.
I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Carolyn and myself.

Cheers
David
