January books

For Christmas Santa brought all the book group members a mystery book present which they were given at our Christmas party. Everyone got a different random book, but they were all lighthearted and frivolous. At our January meeting everyone admitted enjoying the fluffy books - mainly because they were ideal reading if you had flu or a Christmas hangover.
Our book for February is Voyage of Innocence by Elizabeth Edmondson, which also sounds quite fluffy.

December book

For December we read Ali Smith's The accidental which no-one was very enthusiastic about. Some people didn't enjoy the way the book was written, because the author changes points of view through the novel and also they felt that it was quite inconclusive in that the strange girl arrived, affected the family and then vanished.
