Fantasy
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell | Goodreads

Urban Fantasy
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov | Goodreads

For any new people that would like to come along, you are most welcome! You don't have to read all the books. However, the more you read, the more robust the conversation will be with multiple people discussing the book. Don't forget to bring along some Sci-fi, Fantasy and Urban Fantasy suggestions for the following meet-up!

If you would like to see all the books (excluding bonus books) that we have read before, click here to have a look. Since there are so many authors out there, we try not to repeat authors, however, I am relaxing this slightly moving forward. If you are new(ish) to the group, check out the back catalogue for some inspiration if you are stuck for something to read.

Numbers are limited. If you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to a NO as a courtesy to the organiser and to let any wait-listed people into the meet-up.

New for bookclub - I have added 30 minutes on to the end of bookclub, so people can stay back and have a social catch up. You are most welcome to leave at the end of the bookclub discussion/book selection process, but it was suggeted to me, that some people would enjoy the chance to catch up at the end as well. It worked really well in September!

Happy Reading!!! 🤓😊

In December, we are going to meet at the Royal Botanical Gardens at the Terrace Kiosk. After book club, we are going to head off for a walk around the Gardens. Dogs are welcome, but they need to be on a lead the whole time (Wally is looking forward to joining us too).

This year, we are going to do a Kris Kringle.
Rules:
1. Grab a book off your bookshelf (or from a free street library)
2. The book should be paranormal or sci-fi/fantasy related.
3. Wrap it up in Christmas Paper (doesn't have to be fancy... mine won't be!!)
4. We will swap books during the book discussion.

Our books for Sunday 1 December 2024 are:

Don't forget to bring along your Australian Author paranormal suggestions for our next book club. If you would like to look at all the books that we have read so far, click here.

Finally, if you can't make it, please change your RSVP to a NO. This is super important, because I will have booked a table based on our usual numbers.

Happy reading until then!! 🤓
