I hosted bookgroup this month. The way it goes is that the host buys about $110 worth of books, makes some yummy nibble, gets the wine in and makes a cake type thing for coffee at the end of
the night. It is great fun and a monthly social event that I really look forward to. We had a full turn out at our place and it was a bit of a tight squeeze in our little house. Nic couldn't work out why there was so much noise - how could 10 women be reading books together so loudly? Of course there is no reading but lots of talking and laughing...yay.
However, we do talk about books a lot and here are the ones I bought for the group this month.
How to look at a painting - Justin Paton
The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society -Mary Ann Shaffer
The Art of racing in the rain - Garth Stein
The other hand - Chris Cleave
I didn't pick any of these to read and now I have to rush off to work so will chat more about the books later in the day.

Thank you for reminding me to chase up the new book from Vikras..and make sure you read the art of racing in the rain. I have a copy if u need one. It's a wonderful story told from the dog's perspective.
