    Hello Natalie,

    Can I be in the club, like a literary conscious 50 cent?

    I think its a really good idea and I’m very impressed with the book choices.

    Hello!

    Can I pop along and see what it’s about? I’ve been able to get a copy of the book from the library. How do I get this discount card?

    Cheers!

    Hi Natalie

    Hello

    I have just had a look on this site and think it is a really good idea – it is a shame there is not a similar group a bit nearer to me!

    Is it ok if I come along to see what it is all about?

    I will obtain and read a copy of the June book and hope to see you there!

    Thanks
