Book Talk Bournemouth: Robert Goddard The Corners of the Globe
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2014/07/robert-goddard-corners-of-globe.html
Talking about books and book groups. Wednesday, 23 July 2014. Robert Goddard The Corners of the Globe. I loved both of these books and now cannot wait for the last in the series and the final denouement. I think book one would make an excellent Reading Group Read as there is much too discuss about the Ways of the World at that time! Posted by Vicki Goldie, Reader Development Librarian.

Book Talk Bournemouth: July 2013
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Talking about books and book groups. Monday, 1 July 2013. Lucy Clarke - The Sea Sisters. No wonder this book was picked for the Richard and Judy Summer read, it is really great. Having learnt that the author lives in Bournemouth, I took the book away with me on holiday and it was first on my list. This will make a great reading group read and there are copies available for reading groups in Bournemouth Libraries. A stunning debut and an author to watch.

Talking about books and book groups. Monday, 28 July 2014. Karen Joy Fowler - We are all completely beside ourselves. This is an extraordinary book. Please do not be tempted to immediately read page 77 as it will spoil the suprise and what a shock it is. Well it was for me! Posted by Vicki Goldie, Reader Development Librarian.

Book Talk Bournemouth: December 2013
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Talking about books and book groups. Monday, 30 December 2013. Robert Galbraith - The Cuckoo's Calling. My husband read the book on audio and he enjoyed it immensely too, so this book is a rare feat in that it appeals to cross gender which is hard to do in an overcrowded crime genre. Given that this has much to tell about the perils of fame, I think it will make an excellent reading group pick. Posted by Vicki Goldie, Reader Development Librarian. Saturday, 21 December 2013. I have been really busy with ...

Talking about books and book groups. Monday, 18 August 2014. Heather Redding - Stealing Venice. I think this would make an excellent holiday read but also for a book club I think there is much here that could be discussed not least the strong theme of sacrifice. Posted by Vicki Goldie, Reader Development Librarian. A very good read, I really enjoyed it. 27 September 2014 at 22:56. A very good read, I really enjoyed it. 27 September 2014 at 22:57.

Book Talk Bournemouth: June 2014
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Talking about books and book groups. Monday, 30 June 2014. Clara Salaman - The Boat. This is an amazingly creepy book and a fantastic choice for a summer break. I just could not put it down. It is very difficult to describe this book without giving away some major spoilers. In many ways it is a coming of age novel, a cautionary tale for young travellers, and a suspense novel wrapped into one. I found it online in our catalogue one weekend and had downloaded it and was reading it in minutes!

Book Talk Bournemouth: August 2014
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Talking about books and book groups. Friday, 22 August 2014. Louise Penny - The Long Way Home. I was so excited to receive a review copy of this book. Louise Penny is a fantastic Canadian bestselling author and should be more well known here in the UK. I have read all her books so far and the Gamache series is fantastic. Set in Quebec they have an enormous sense of place and really make you long to visit Canada for yourself. Do read my other reviews. Posted by Vicki Goldie, Reader Development Librarian.

Book Talk Bournemouth: April 2014
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Talking about books and book groups. Tuesday, 22 April 2014. Elizabeth Speller - The Return of Captain John Emmett. I have had this book for some time but decided to read it over the Easter weekend. I could not put it down, it is beautifilly written and I think Laurence Bartram's blundering around as an amateur investigator is really rather true to life. We have all had that experience of mentally kicking ourselves and realising what we should have asked or said. He is a wonderful character. Consumed by ...

Book Talk Bournemouth: February 2014
http://booktalkbournemouth.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Talking about books and book groups. Monday, 10 February 2014. Terry Hayes - I Am Pilgrim. Wow this was a marathon read for me. It has been a long time since I took so long to read a book. This book is huge and heavy (700 pages! This book is very intense. It has multiple plot lines, but hard as I tried to put it down I was unable to walk away from it, something kept drawing me back ( and lengthening my arm as I carried it back and forth from work). I suspect this book is too large for most reading groups...
