MidCoast Libraries Better Reading Bookclub discussion

I know it’s been a little quiet on the list for a while. I must confess to having a few minor distractions like the Government’s proposed merger of Great Lakes with Greater Taree and Gloucester but it’s time to get our communal book reading rolling again.

As I have mentioned earlier the book will be Relativity by Antonia Hayes. To provide you with access to this title I have now acquired a set of ten copies, which will form part of the wider bookclub collection. BUT because this came out of our corner, we’ve got first run at it.
I have created our own library card and membership to the library and issued the collection to that card. The collection will be housed in my office and if you ask staff at the front counter a copy can be got for you. All that will be required is that we write down your name and which copy you borrowed.

On top of this we have two copies of Relativity in the general collection, another copy as an audiobook and even one as an eBook in our borrowbox collection. So plenty of scope to grab a copy.

I’m suggesting we allow the group until the end of June to read the book. It seems people are happy to share feedback online rather than gather as a group to discuss it, so that’s fine by me.

I’m still wondering what format this feedback should take. Would you like me to post a few discussion points as people, once they’ve read the book can give their own review and a response to the questions? (or not – I don’t want people to feel this is a burden).

I think that's a good starting place, thanks Chris. I find t easier to have some questions to work with after reading a book.

No worries Faye. I've been rather caught up at the moment so I haven't even run the questions passed myself yet. Might think about it soon hey?

No rush on my part Chris, I'm still waiting for my copy of the book to arrive ha
I look forward to diving in and will definitely have your questions on hand when I'm reading. (Hopefully it will arrive this week).
I am really excited. I love read-a-longs and having people to discuss books with.
