Better late than never I suppose

I have to apologise for not writing this post up sooner, a myriad of excuses I'm afraid that aren't all that worthy if i'm being honest.  However better late than never so here is what happened at our last meeting.

We discussed our last read Susan Hill - The Shadows in the Street which received much praise from the group.  Great descriptions of the scenes and the characters meant we were really able to visualise the world and the group felt although some parts could be gruesome (their are a few murders) it wasn't silly.

Don't ask me how, but we then ended up discussing the movie tie-ins to books and whether or not they get the right actor for the character?  We would love to hear your thoughts on this as it ended being quite a long, and in parts heated, discussion.

We also had a discussion on recent news events, mainly the discovery of Richard III, so its not all business :)

The next read is Thorne Moore - A time for silence


Which will be discussed at our next meeting on Wednesday 6th March at Builth Wells Library - see you there!
