Audio Book Club 📖📖📖

[Ellie]

We could do this in alphabetical order...Ellie gets to choose the 1st book?

Oh dear, I should have suggested "Learn My ABC" - Debbie and Denise got a let off 😂😂😂 😘

I have read near to 200 kindle books on my iPad and a handful of real books since the first lockdown. I’ve never listened to a whole audiobook yet.

I'm quite picky about my books so not sure if reading other people’s suggestions would necessarily suite me. But thanks for the offer. I may dip in sometime or other. Lynne x

That is the nice thing about Book Clubs though, having to read books you wouldn't usually choose yourself. Some of my best reads were 'forced' on me by book clubs, and I have managed to buy some right rubbish reads all by myself too 😃

When we've all read the chosen book, the differing opinions and comments make it more interesting!

It'd be great if an avid reader such as you, Lynne, were to come on board.

Love Ellie.

[denise]

I did think me and debs would come before Ellie but I thought let Ellie show us how it's done first. 😉🍹

[denise]

Read first chapter. Very good
won't tell you what happens but I do love the reader. She has a lovely voice and appropriate for the story.

🤣🤣🥰 I'm looking forward to trying books i maybe wouldnt choose myself. Im reading the promise at the moment and I'm only keeping going because I want to know the ending. .... im resisting the temptation to just read the last bit.

I always intended to join a book club when i left work. Its only taken me 4 years and I can't think of a better one to join. ( better circumstances maybe but not better people ! 😘) x

Ooops you'll notice a pattern here I jump in full of enthusiasm...get most things wrong I mean who could forget my first quiz lol lol...but I agree I must learn my abc.... Ellie is a good sport though and followed my lead 😂😂😂

So we have a book👏 yeahhhhh Pachinko

[Ellie]

Aww, that's really sweet of you Deb quite humbling really. Right back at you and to the other bibliophiles. 🤗😘

[LindaB]

I've never been part of a book club before so do we have a timescale?

[Ellie]

So we have a book👏 yeahhhhh Pachinko

It's over 18hrs in audiobook format, so quite long - how long should we take Linda?
Hopefully Matthew can access it and we can catch up on Denise (I'll bet she used to start before the whistle on school sports days 🤣🤣)

[Ellie]

Great minds, LindaB Not too long, or we'll forget the story, or maybe that's just me!!

IDK, 2-3 weeks?? xx

[LindaB]

Oh yes Matthew hopefully can access a copy. Denise jumped the gun lol lol
I'm not sure about how long🤔 one hour a day is just under 3 weeks....so maybe check where we all are on 22nd???? (Listen my maths is as good as my quizzing & alphabet skills lol lol )

How does that sound??🤷

[Ellie]

How does that sound??🤷

Sounds like a good plan to me xx

[LindaB]

Sounds like a good plan to me xx

Fabulous and it will be a virtual happy hour🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹22nd it is...

Hi Ellie and thanks for your input. Can you remind me of the book author and title and I’ll search for it and read it whilst I’m away at the Lake District from this Saturday for just a week. I can usually read a non scientific book in a day can or two but on holiday it could last most of the week as we’ll be going out. Love Lynne xx
