Twitter Book Group - next book

The votes are now in to decide the next book to read for Twitter Book Group

and the winner is....

THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS by URSULA LE GUIN!!

Here is the groovy cover. 

Here is the groovy blurb.

"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new' Two people, until recently strangers, find themselves on a long, tortuous and dangerous journey across the ice. One is an outcast, forced to leave his beloved homeland; the other is fleeing from a different kind of persecution. What they have in common is curiosity, about others and themselves, and an almost unshakeable belief that the world can be a better place.

As they journey for over 800 miles, across the harshest, most inhospitable landscape, they discover the true meaning of friendship, and of love."

Twitter Book Group is open to everyone (on Twitter). 

This is our sixth book and this is how it works. 

1. Agree a book to read. 

2. Get a copy of the book

3. Read it. 

4. Chat about it.

5. Give it marks out of 10

Yeah, pretty much just like a normal book group!

So, we've chosen the book. 

The next stage is to get a copy. There are many wonderful ways of doing this. Might I suggest that if you have the means and the inclination, you buy it from ME.

If you'd like to do this, please paypal £8.99 to biggreenbookshop@hotmail.com, using family and friends and then send me a DM, letting me know your address and add the word "URSULA". 

I don't charge any P+P for book club books. 

It's been decided by the current group that we hold the next discussion after Christmas, as some people may not have a chance to reading the book otherwise (it's 338 pages). So, the next Book Group discussion will start at Midday on Tuesday January 7th 2020.

++ UPDATE ++ UPDATE ++ UPDATE ++

WE WILL NOW BE DISCUSSING THE BOOK ON TUESDAY JANUARY 14TH FROM MIDDAY

The discussion usually lasts throughout the day and sometimes into the next day, so if you're not free at midday, don't worry.

We "meet" on Twitter. 

I've set up a DM (direct message) group on Twitter dedicated to the book group, so other people don't have to put up with our book chat, so if you want to join in, please  let me know on Twitter @biggreenbooks and i'll add you to it.

There are about 80 people in the Book Group and generally between 20 and 30 people read the book and chat, so it's not too chaotic and everyone who wants to, has a chance to voice their opinions.

Hope this sounds OK and please ask me if you have any questions.
