It's that time again! Our book for March needs to be decided. Thanks to Jeni for the suggestion of us reading a book with a Non Binary character and/or author. If we extend that to Gender Fluid we'll hopefully get some good choices. I'll add a poll below. Please add any others you think of or say if you disagree with any choices. I'm basing this list on google searches so may go wrong :).

Enjoyed that so much I'm tempted to read it again straight away.

Well, I'm doing rubbish in this bookclub at the moment, read Novembers; still occasionally picking up Rip It Up. Then I read Annabell by Kathleen Winter as I chose what I fancied before the final choice for this month was announced! I can recommend it if anyone is looking for an extra book to read! I have Milkman waiting at the library but reading some of the comments I think I might skip it and move on to a different book. I must try harder in future months. x

Must admit I've not instigated choosing books for April or May as it didn't feel like anyone was particularly ready (or interested?) for another book.

I know a few people are still catching up, my bookish friend said to do it bi monthly so more people feel included? I’ve been reading some and still need to catch up as I’ve had a change in jobs in my life!

Many bookclub set their dates and books in advance and then people can plan ahead and dip in and out when they like.
Sometimes you have to have faith - build it and they will come; but it may take time to gain momentum.
I've just made a suggestion for a May/ June book - why don't we think about setting a May/June book + July / August + Sept / October - now, and then see whether it picks up and people join us and make more suggestions for beyond that?

Ok, good plan. I’m in the mood for googling a theme, Rob do you want to pick one too?
