2010 / 2011

Hello to you all.

I think perfectionism has been what has kept me from being a regular blogger about our little bookclub, but now that I look back on all the previous posts I realise that the things I wrote I wouldn’t have remembered without this blog. So I endeavour this year to keep posting more regularly.

So our Christmas lunch at Bentwood was fantastic as usual and so were our secret santa gifts, with the twist this year being, there was no stealing!! We all travelled up in Nicole H’s car and I sat in the back with Renae. I love our little get together and the fact that we wear dresses (probably one of the only times in a year!)

January we had drinks at Lisa’s beautiful new house, to pick up our book. It was lovely sitting out on the back deck and relaxing, though I doubt our pregnant girls felt that way!

February we met at Mariko’s house after reading her book selection ‘Restless’ by William Boyd. It was about a spy from the war who must complete one final assignment with the help of her daughter. Almost  all of us gave it 8/10. Enjoyed a yummy crumble for sweets. Claire dropped in towards the end of bookclub, minus the baby, having just given birth a couple of days ago.

In March we had Claire’s book, but went to Lian’s house instead. She had airconditioning and we were in the middle of a humid heat wave. We read ‘Constance’ by Rosie Thomas and I was the only one who seemed to enjoy it. I read it in a day and was not well, so maybe that’s why.  It got as low as 4/10 to my score 7.5/10.

We are about to have our next meeting and it is to be a movie night at Nicole’s watching her pick  ‘Nights in Rodanthe’. I have to say I loved the book, I am a romantic at heart……..
