Welcome to 2014 and looking forward to catching up with all who can make it this coming Sunday. The new venue has been picked, thanks Ruthie. Location is Union Street Cafe Espresso Bar, unionstreetcafe.com.au/ on Cnr of Union and Water Street, Spring Hill. Meeting time is 8am.
I am proposing an interesting approach to Bookclub this year, and it is inspired by Sara's summer challenge of working her way through the reading list of the Australian's top 50 Reads. Now we are not going to read 50 books this year in bookclub, but collectively we probably will easily cover off on getting through quid a few. Yet i thought, how about we set ourselves the challenge of choosing from a list, to extend ourselves in terms of repertoire. Also it may help us work our way through some of those must read books one should have an opportunity to read in their lifetime!
So I have done a google search and found the Guardian's must read list, 1000 novels everyone must read: the definitive list.
... Or Not... I guess we shall see ...
Here is how I propose we approach it... When it is your turn to pick, you can choose from the list by genre... We can edit out what we collectively have and haven't read, so along the way we will all be trying something a little new and different.

Look forward to seeing you on Sunday :)
