We've had a book club offshoot of Buns and Roses WI for a
few years now and we've done all sorts of books over the last few years but the
focus over the last 18 months has been either books by women or about inspirational
female characters. We are a very free and easy book club in that we only have a
couple of rules - namely you don't have to have finished the book (and not mind
finding out what happens) and it has to be available from the library so that
people don't have to buy it - though of course it is up to each attendee
whether they purchase the book or not and some of the fun each meeting is
looking at our various copies and seeing what kind of market the bookseller is
trying to appeal to over the years - a book like Gone With The Wind by Margaret
Mitchell which we read (or in the majority of cases started and didn't finish)
has had many different cover incarnations over the years, as had Charlotte
Bronte's gothic masterpiece Jane Eyre.
We meet roughly every 6 weeks or so (exact date determined amongst those at the meeting) at 2.30pm on a Sunday afternoon in the Tiled Hall Cafe just inside the Art Gallery on the Headrow and the next one is Sunday June 28th when we'll be discussing Caitlin Moran's funny and frank latest How To Build A Girl. And it's also at the meeting that we decide what book we're going to read next - we all bring suggestions and sometime we reach a decision by consensus and sometimes by writing the titles on bits of paper and pulling them out of a bag.
So come along chat, eat cake, and meet other book loving ladies. Hope to see some of you there.
