So, the third month of Twitter Book Club.
This month the group asked if we could choose from a shortlist of books published by independent publishers, so we did.
I put a poll up on Twitter and asked people to help us choose which book to read.
Twitter voted and the book that has been chosen to read this month is Water Shall Refuse Them by Lucie McKnight Hardy.
'The heatwave of 1976. Following the accidental drowning of her sister, sixteen-year-old Nif and her family move to a small village on the Welsh borders to escape their grief. But rural seclusion doesn't bring any relief.
As her family unravels, Nif begins to put together her own form of witchcraft - collecting talismans from the sun-starved land. That is, until she meets Mally, a teen boy who takes a keen interest in her, and has his own secret rites to divulge. Reminiscent of the suspense of Shirley Jackson and soaked in the folk horror of the British landscape, Water Shall Refuse Them is an atmospheric coming-of-age novel and a thrilling debut'
Sounds groovy! I can't wait to get stuck in.
(looks groovy too)
The book's published by Dead Ink books. They are good. Check out their website HERE.
Now then, if you want to join in with next month's discussion, it's happening on Tuesday September 10th, from midday and will continue for ages I imagine.
To join the Book Club, just tweet me (@biggreenbooks) and ask to be added to the Book Club group.
If you want to buy the book, you can paypal the dosh (£9.99) to biggreenbookshop@hotmail.com (using family and friends please) and then send me a DM with your name and address.
I shall get a copy posted out asap.
We currently have 61 people in Twitter Book Club and we'd love more.
Message me if you have any more questions.
THANKS!
