Whilst we are awaiting more members, we may as well make use of this section.
so, this thread will be used for nominating books you would like to read "with" the group and discuss as we are all reading.

i say we start off easy, something like memoirs of a geisha or a tolkien book. _________________

it is a great book and it reveals alot about middle earth. although i do feel that some would find the hobbit easier. _________________

Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult.
or
PS I love you by Cecilia Ahern.... mainly because I love it, but was reading reviews of it the other day which were awful and I was surprised. It is probably a bit of a girly book though!!

Diane have you read any of her others?
I've read them all... where rainbows end and if you could see me now were both amazing, but the new one, a place called here was a bit weird to read, and by the end she'd written so I didn't want either possible ending to happen!
And,,, PS I love you and if you could see me now are both being made in to films in the next couple of years.
