As I know many of you are avid readers like myself, I thought I'd tell you a bit about our book club & how we choose our books.
We're a group of friends roughly the same age & we all either live in the village or have children at the village school. It was started up about 4 years ago I think but I've only been going for about 3 years after talking to a mum at nursery one day about reading & she mentioned about coming along to their next BC which was to be held the following evening.
There are about 10 of us who go regularly & other members who come along as & when they can. We meet once a month at each other's houses, each taking turns & the host house provides the all important snacks, wine & cake!
In January when the meeting was at my house, we decided to change the way we chose our books as a lot of people felt that their choices were never being picked due to the more vociferous members of our group getting theirs chosen all the time. So we decided that for each month, we would have a genre & we would all bring along a suggestion for that specific genre. These are anonymous suggestions that are written on a piece of paper & put into a 'hat' & one is pulled at random - this is the book we then read. By doing it this way, everyone gets an equal chance of having their book chosen & we get to read some brilliant books - books we'd otherwise never have chosen!
This is our genre list for this year & what we've read so far:
December - Pot luck
tbc but is usually a 'lighter' Christmassy read!
I really enjoy my BC nights & have discovered some fabulous reads that I'd never have chosen myself in a million years as I tend to stick to psychological/crime thrillers, so it pushes me waaayyy out of my comfort zone. And let's face it, it's also a great excuse for a catch-up with my friends!!
Is anyone else in a book club? What are your favourite books, I'm always looking for new suggestions?!

Oh I'd love to be in a real life book club! I started the Instagram one with two other ladies, but I'd love to do the real thing! I'll definitely be reading some of your choices from this year. Lynne xx
