sophie

**FOR MARCH BOOK SEE POST BELOW** The FEBRUARY book group book will be The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. We chose it because we thought it had just come out in paperback but unfortunately it is still only hardback. It was Waterstones book of the year last year and won a place on many 'best books of 2016' lists. Even The Spectator says "Don't be too cool for this lovely book" (?!)): http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/06/dont-be-too-cool-for-sarah-perrys-the-essex-serpent/ It's available on: - Audible:https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Essex-Serpent/dp/B01IWJ4TFM/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= - Kindle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Essex-Serpent-Sarah-Perry-ebook/dp/B01AWUTMHY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= - And why not buy your 'real' copies on Wordery: https://wordery.com/the-essex-serpent-sarah-perry-9781781255445 We will meet at 8pm on 8th February at the White Lion on Stroud Green Road. Everyone is welcome, just turn up. Make it your new year's resolution to join/re-join book group! You know you want to find out whether this book lives up to the hype!

The *next* Stroud Green Book Group book will be 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison. One of those books that we all felt like we should have read... a curriculum staple, especially in America. Not necessarily a jolly one but there will no doubt be lots to talk about. See you in The White Lion, Stroud Green Road, on **Wednesday 15th March at 8pm**. All welcome.

Unfortunately I'll have to sit this one out. The narration on the audiobook – done by the author which I usually like – is just too difficult to listen to. Enjoy the read and look forward to the next book group!
