So if anyone who wants to take part post a book they would like to suggest at the end of the month I will create a poll for all the entries :)

Ps. sorry it has taken so long, been very preoccupied lately.

    The wheel of time series by Robert Jordan...and more recently Brandon Sanderson because Mr Jordan passed away...brilliant books...and I'm waiting for the next two to come out. Another book whihc I'm reading at the moment is Anathem by Neal Stephenson, but it requires a little concentration if you don't like physics or maths.

    We Need to Talk About Kevin is a masterpiece imho and awesome choice for a book group. The Almost Moon on the other hand :yuck: Not a big fan of Alice Sebold, although Lovely Bones was OK. Be interested to hear your perspectives on both. :)
