Colleen - 7
Well written book....will look at reading other books written by the author.
Tahnee- 6.5
Rollicking read...a book about a book...does it get much better?
Trilby- 6.5
Interesting to learn about the story behind the real Alice In Wonder Land. Sense of foreboding did not end the way I wanted.
Elizabeth-8
Inspired me to have a go at writing my own book one day.....loved the creative story which was based on some facts about the real Alice.
Kaye- 5
Sense of foreboding was disappointed with the story.
Kerry- 7
Interesting characters...intrigued by the references to the real story behind Alice but did find at times the story long and drawn out
Irene- 6
Beautiful use of the English language...really enjoyed the classic style.
WHAT'S NEXT!!!
The next book for discussion at July's meeting is Colleen's pick,
" LORD OF THE FLIES" by William Golding.
Kaye has selected the book for August which is,
"CHOCOLAT" by Joanne Harris.
Evening Events
Thanks to Irene for the beautiful cake. Love especially from Trilby who frowns on people that just bring a box of chocolates which just happened to be what Irene had brought the week before.llolololol
Still no baby on Tuesday the 7th what surprise.....but happy to report that GEORGIA made a safe arrival on Saturday the 18th of June at 6.25pm after a long labour which resulted in a c section. All are very happy and well.
We also discussed how we view ourselves as we read a book which was really interesting to note:
Colleen- thinks about how the author is constructing the story as she reads.
Tahnee- thinks of herself as a fly on the wall.
Trilby- thinks of herself as an observer to the story.
Irene- thinks like Tahnee, like being a fly on the wall.
Kaye- creates pictures about the story similar to a movie.
Elizabeth- while reading a book I think about it as a movie and I'm the director.
