@editor this is a fantastic idea! I’m not in the book Biz (aside from the reading of them!) and love children books.
In fact, used to have a book club dedicated to adults reading children’s books - .
Sadly my bestie who ran it had other commitments but for a few years there, it helped remind us of the child and wonder within!

Been attempting to organise my dead tree versions of classics (myths or legends) books onto one shelf. But my dalek got squished.
Second Edith hall and stone blind by Natalie Haynes aren’t included either as they are Christmas presents.

I’m going to have to start over aren’t i?

In a situation such a this, purchasing new book shelves seems the wisest option.

Need to start the book thief tonight for discussion on Saturday.

All 624 pages of it. Thank heavens I’ve read it before!

Really looking forward to seeing the tiniest of the book clubs and getting our plan for 2023 sorted!

Any suggestions for themes?

Just finished The Women of Troy by Pat Barker for (book club) tomorrow evening.

Technically a sequel, I did double check that it could be read as a stand alone before I put it into the hat as I was desperate to read it, having lived the silence of the girls.

Can’t wait to hear what people think of it.
