sorry about the confusion

Hi!

Firstly, sorry I couldn't make the last meeting - when we met in January and re-arranged the day, I had forgot that I was going to a concert (to see The Cure!!!).

Speaking with my colleague Sue, who ran the group in my absence, I think there is some confusion about next month’s read; I’d written a note, but maybe it wasn’t very clear.

The read for the meeting in March is “The Man in the Dark” by Paul Auster (we chose this in January). It turned out that Cricklewood Reading group was reading this, why I didn’t have enough copies for everyone in time for the meeting. 8 copies are on their way to me; please let me know if you need one (please provide your library card number), and from which library you’d like to pick it up from.

“The Concert Pianist” was also handed out, but this is for the Over 50s tea and coffee mornings author visit event on 17 March (a couple of people from our reading group go to this as well). If you’re over 50, you’re more than welcome to come to this too. Conrad Williams will be attending the second part of the meeting, 11 am – 12 noon. People start trickling in at 10 though for tea and coffee and to catch up. A couple of ladies bring their knitting, so if you’re into craft, please bring it along.

So to summarise and hopefully make it a bit clearer: the read for March is “The Man in the Dark”, and as you never chose a title that I can hand out on the next meeting to read for April, I will order a few options from which you can choose.

If you’re in touch with anyone from the readers group, can you please pass on this message.

Very sorry about the confusion – we’ll be more organised next time!

Best wishes,

Åsa

Hello Asa,

I've been away throughout this month and not sure what's happening. Am I to assume that you read the Auster for the meeting at the end of March? If so what is the read for April (or May for that matter).

All the best,
Bhupash

P.S. The Cure? You must've been there for ages ...

Hi all,
I have a blog for my online reading group and was just searching the internet for other blogs pertaining to reading and found this one. Looks like you are far away from me as I am located in Seattle. That's why I started an online reading group. That way the book club stays with people no matter their location or schedule.
I like the list of books you have all read together. They feature some great literature. I wish your group success and continued enjoyment.
