I guess you're wondering why we left blanks? We allowed the members on Friday an opportunity to add their favourite book for discussion so numbers 21-25 are the following:-

• Ben Elton- Past Mortem
• Dracula- Bram Stoker
• The Snapper- Roddy Doyle
• Edgar Allen Poe- The Raven, Tell Tale Heart etc.

So with the booklist now complete.. we can get cracking! We have a mix of books on there and between ourselves, different members of the group will lead the discussion for the books selected in this list and will come up with questions for the group.

Our next meeting is the 20th May at 5pm in Bookends on EHU's Ormskirk campus and we will be reading 'One Day' by David Nicholls which is on offer in ASDA at the moment on the 2 for £7 offer (Or if don't want another book, its only £4!!!)

And there will be cakes... we hope! If you need anymore info, you can find us on Twitter under EHU_Bookclub or email us at EHU_Bookclub@hotmail.co.uk. Hope to see you on the 20th May and everyone is very welcome!
