bookclub! (july)

Well, the book we did for july was called 'my place' by sally morgan. i was hoping i'd enjoy this book, coz aboriginal fictions's still historical fiction, and historical fiction's my favourite genre of books to read after fantasy and science fiction. And it did turn out to be an interesting read, although I didn’t finish it until yesterday! ^^” see, I’ve somehow acquired this habit of reading my books out aloud, which drastically reduces the speed @ which I read. See, I usually read out aloud the first three weeks, but then, come the Monday three days before the Thursday night book club, I just read silently. XD
When i arrived, again, amanda had already chosen me a seat @ the table by dumping a whole pile of fantasy and science fiction books there for me! :D I spotted a new feist novel there! That’s definitely going on my Christmas wishlist! :D
Also much thanks to Amanda who made me a cup of tea, white and two. I also nabbed myself ten bikkies, and happily munched them all during the discussion.
To be honest, though, I didn’t contribute too much during this bookclub, coz I was too immersed in reading the new feist novel! ^^” but I did share with everyone my favourite line from the book:”no, ‘bottom’ is spelt ‘b-o-t-t-o-m,’ not ‘b-u-m!’ XD
But, when we moved onto more general discussion, I told all the other ladies how I’d attended a memoir writing workshop @ the logan village library, hosted by Phyllis mcduff. In it, she taught us to write 200 pages, ten per chapter. One of the attending ladies then set me a deadline! “we’ll do your book in 2013.” She informed me. XD
The book we’re doing for next month’s a science fiction one! Apparently, it’s some post-apocalyptic one … sounds interesting. ;)
When book club finished for the night, Erika (who was so fit she clambered up the stairs to the library instead of catching the lift!) said we’d haveta catch up with esther for lunch soon! Esther was the second-youngest member of the bookclub (after me) who left to resume her uni studies; she used to be the one who always made me a cuppa 
Next post here … should be toms! See, toms afternoon, mother and I are going for lunch @ fasta pasta with my Australian godmother and grand-godmother! :D righteo, cya then!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
