Thanks David. We were due to discuss The Book Thief at the beginning of March, but due to illness I was unable to do so. We will now be discussing it starting Monday 28 April. I’ll do a separate post on it.

Fiona,

I like the idea of the Book Club and would like to join in. I’ve anticipated it continuing and bought (through your site) The Book Thief.

Best wishes

Dave

Hi Fiona

This book club sounds great. I ordered the book at my local library but they’ve only just phoned to say it’s available. I’ll do my best to read it over the weekend! Thanks for this inspiring website, I’ve enjoyed working through some of the coursework.

[...] all of you who have signed up for the Book Club, we will be opening for discussion on Monday. So you’ve still got the weekend to finish [...]

Hi Fiona,
I got the book last week, but I have been feeling reluctant to read it. The Lake District is my favourite place on earth and I would hate to think of murder, corpses and death every time I camp there. Gosh you can really tell I’m a children’s writer, can’t you!

Got the book from the library today, Fiona - it was actually on the shelves. Looking forward to the discussion.

Well we can certainly look at why you lost interest around page 100! I thought it flagged in places too, but more of that in our discussion at the end of the month. We can learn from the negatives just as much as the positives.

Hi Fiona,

I enjoyed your Introduction to Creative Writing course last year.

This is a great idea.
I have often wanted to join a book club but I am a carer and find it hard to get out.

By a stroke of luck I brought this book before Christmas.
I already started to read it but somehow lost interest around page 100. I will pick it up again now.

Thanks Fiona
