Couldn't agree more. I think we will have a great group of people and look forward to seeing you in the NY. 

I will be away on the 23rd of January very unfortunately but please keep me informed of when the next one will be and also the next book.  I think I may have a look at the book 'the Meeting' anyway - it  sounds intriguing. I really enjoyed the meeting last night too - thankyou Eliie. Happy Xmas and New Year to everyone. 

Good to meet you all and I've downloaded The Meeting Point so can look forward to some quality reading time after Christmas. Seasonal wishes to all.

I thought Monday night was fun and interesting. Looking forward to seeing you all again in the New Year to discuss the next book. Lots of copies in local libraries by the way.

Got any paperbacks you wouldn't mind swapping for books you do want? Why not join www.greenmetropolis.com

Happy new year!  I hope you had a lovely break and look forward to seeing you all on Monday 23rd January at the Battersea Mess and Music Room.  

Enjoy the Meeting Point!

See you then,

Ellie

And a happy new year to you too Look forward to seeing everyone again on 23rd .

Hi all. I hope you are well and had a good xmas. 

We are due to meeet this Monday 23rd January at the Battersea Music and Mess Hall in Lavender Gardens.  For those who do not know exactly where it is it is at the Lavender Hill end of Lavender Gardens opposite the Magistrates Court (which is on the same side of the road as Asda!).  If you turn into Lavender Gardens from Lavender Hill it is just a few yards up on the right hand side.

Pls can you let me know if you are coming by Fri 20th so that I can book us a table.

Look forward to seeing you all. 

I finished The Meeting Point on the weekend and am looking forward to being there to discuss it on the 23rd.

I'll be there :)

Count me in.

I'll definitely be there.  And so will Caroline

Hi all, Unfortunately I have a new job which means I can't make it to book club anymore, I hope that you continue to enjoy reading!

Good morning,

Happy reading!

Hi just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the meet on Monday. I think this is a great group of people with really lovely qualities. Looking forward to more discussions. By the way I have noticed very few people have a photo on their profile. Is there any particular reason why not?
Karen

It was an enjoyable evening and the discussion almost made me want to read the book again to appreciate the aspects I missed. I don't have any special reason for not using a photo of me - it's probably because I don't have one to hand! Maybe I should change my avatar to the book we're reading.

I too thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the discussions and am very much looking forward to meeting up with everyone again at the next meeting and hearing all your views on The Great Gatsby.  The reason I don't have a photo of me on my profile is that all the recent photos that I have are pretty awful.  That's why I prefer to use one of the photos I took of a drink I had on holiday a few years ago which I thought looked very pretty!

Joanie - that's why photoshop was invented!!  :)

I'm sure you look fine but if you're bothered by it I'm sure you know someone (there's bound to be someone on Streetlife!) who can make your photo look beautiful!!

I don't have a pic because I'm shy!

I know we haven't even met for the next book but I have a really good book to suggest for our next meeting. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. Have any of you read it already?

Have read The Book Thief and it is brilliant. Wouldn't mind discussing it.

I've not read it so I'm up for any suggestions. I have a few books at home, in an unread pile, so I think it's time for a beach holiday...

OH NO! I've had to move the date for my trip back a week which now means I'll be away on the 27th.

I can now do the 20th February but I don't want to mess everyone around (and it's a week less to finish the book).
