Following on from the book club thread, this is the shortlist for March.
If you could post your choice on the thread, I will then tally up the votes and let people know the results, either on this thread or on a new one.
Light Perpetual - Francis Spufford
Lanark - Alasdair Grey
Girl A - Abigail Dean
Midnight Library -Matt Haig
The over story - Richard Powers"
The Pariah - David Jackson
All the light we cannot see - Anthony Doerr
It’s been spoken about that this might be an expensive undertaking, so if people want to share books, then that’s always an option.
We will hopefully have a book club discussion about the choice at the end of the month, I’ll set the date later in the month. Thanks for taking part! |

"Light Perpetual gets my vote. I've already read Midnight Library and Girl A would be difficult to read for personal reasons.
"
I think that Girl A has the potential to be a very hard read for quite a few people but it was submitted so I’ve left it as an option.
I hope that this is something that people can dip in and out of according over time but as the first iteration, I thought that a popular vote would be best suited...possibly
Probably
Maybe...

"Pariah ( because it's on my bookshelf - it was given to me )
So ..... when is voting over ? "
I’m at work at the moment but when I get spare time, possibly this evening, then I’ll have a tally and give the people’s choice.
I think a bit of air time gives more people the chance to vote and catch up anyway |

Sorry, it made sense to me to put it where more folks would see it, that was the first thread.
I thought that people would spot it on the most recently posted |

"Don't forget your friendly local librarian would be more than delighted to hunt books out for you. They dont have to be bought.
When they reopen "
I think you can click and collect, all ours do. They slide it out to you through a slit in the wall (they dont) |

Ours are closed at the moment and they sneakily tried to close two permanently, which has just been overturned. Next month hopefully, I have boxes of books to donate |

My friend told me today about personal battles of the author. And how it affected his writing theme choices. Worth checking. I won't say more here so it's not spoiling anything. |
