It’s New Year again already so time for a quick look back at the books we reviewed in 2013. Just a quick bonus blog as I’m very busy running and not eating chocolate (it is January)
The stand out books for me this year were without doubt Jojo Moyes – Me Before You and The Husbands Secret – Liane Moriarty. It’s hard to pick my favourite out of the 2 as they are quite different but I think for surprising me the most and teaching me never to judge a book by its cover I will choose Me Before You. It made me cry!
Must not eat chocolate
Worst book
We have had a few 5.5 looking back at the scores – Gone Girl, Sense of an Ending, Half the human Race but the lowest result from pretty much every one was Christmas Magic. Not about Christmas, too repetitive and predictable. Didn’t even give off a warm feel good Christmas glow that would have enabled us to give it higher marks.
I do not want to eat chocolate. Really. No I don’t.
Most attendance
We now have a massive 13 members and to be honest at times it can be hard to hear everyone if the pub is quite busy – wasn’t a problem this month funnily enough. If it goes on like this we may have to close doors or look at alternative venues which I really don’t want to do. Brilliant achievement though, thank you everyone for still turning up
I don’t even like chocolate. It tastes horrible.
Liked by all
The books that was probably the most well received by everyone was Tigers In Red Weather – Liza Klaussman. It’s a little cracker of a book and it’s a hard job to cater to everyone’s tastes in the Book Club.
Worth a mention
The Little Village School – Gervaise Phinn and Northanger Abbey – Jane Austin not necessarily loved by all but definitely (in the case of Northanger Abbey) by me.
Apples are SO much nicer than chocolate
And that caps a whole year of blogging – not a book missed! I have successfully completed last year’s New year’s resolution. Yeah!!!!!!!!! Told you the blog was short and sweet. Any others that stood out for you? Now must go back to avoiding chocolate.
