Tuesday saw a tremendous turnout of 'Bookies' (as Mrs George has christened us!). There was a lot of discussion about a whole range of books: Dorothy Must Die caused quite a bit of debate as we felt it was a good book (on the whole) but had a poor ending. There was quite a bit of discussion about how books are now setting themselves up as trilogies far too often and, as for dystopias...no more, please!
The next meeting will be after Christmas. We decided to suggest one book that EVERYONE should read, one book with which you can challenge yourself and four others into which you can dip.
The books are:
The book for EVERYONE: Running Girl by Simon Mason
The challenge: The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
The others:
She is Not Invisible - Marcus Sedgwick
Stone Mattress - Margaret Atwood (short stories)
The Young Elites - Marie Lu
Paper Towns - John Green
