Why set up this blog?

Our book group (reading group? no idea how to refer to it, really) has been in operation for around 8 years now. We meet every 6 weeks on average, and have read around 60 books since we have been together. We are based in the Lancashire/Cheshire/Merseyside/Staffordshire area of the UK.

Why bother with a blog? Well, we are a fairly geographically dispersed (by UK standards - the furthest flung members are probably separated by a whole FIFTY miles!!!), and it is a good way of communicating with one another between groups. Also, we can show the world what fantastic taste we have in reading. Well, maybe not - but we can perhaps discuss our dubious choices of reading matter with the wider world.

I'll tell you more about our group in a future post. Bet you can't wait....

I may also post a few photos. And persuade my fellow members to post some thoughts as well. How exciting!
