Thoughts for the August Book Club?

***SarahR*** · 23-07-2011, 09:27pm

It's that time again ladies, the month is racing by! Does anyone have anything that they would love to read in August?

My suggestion is the quite long (but if previous books are to go by very readable) The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Distant-Hour...1452675&sr=8-1

All ideas very welcome and I'll set a poll up.

Thank you!

Oooh thanks SarahR I am just dashing in and still to comment on Caitlin Moran which I read on hols... I have read two previous Kate Mortons and thought they were OK - not quite as good as I hoped re the story line but well-written; I would happily buy another though as I find them easy to read and interesting

I'll suggest The House at Riverton as I've just started it!! lol

I just finished The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain. I finished it two days, it was such a page turner. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks girls. I'll put the House of Riverton on the poll too twirly. And Petrus, I was looking at the Midwife's Confession on the Kindle Store today, so happy to put that down too!

Any more? I'll set a poll up tonight.

Great Sarah, I would be interested to see if anyone else enjoyed it as much as I did if it gets voted of course.

I did have a couple of ideas - sort of following on from the fact that we read The Little Women Letters, which made me think of other classic 'teenage' and children's books from the past.

Anne of Green Gables by L Montgomery

What Katie Did by Susan Coolidge (I have my Mum's copy of this)

Heidi by Johanna Spyri

I realise I might be alone in wanting any of these though

I've just read the reviews on Amazon - well, if we have that book, at least I won't have too many expectations of it

Im not part of the book club but have just finished Night Road by Kristin Hannah. It is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I lent it to a friend who gave it back the following morning having been up all night reading it!
