Lockdown Newsletter 3: The Book Club and Entertainment Ideas

Image
Book Club  Our book club of 12 members met regularly until the Covid restrictions in mid- March. We introduced a new idea from September 2019, to read Waterstones Book of the Month.  The highlights of this experiment were: When all is said - Griffin  Once upon a river - Setterfield My sister the Serial Killer - Braithwaite  Queenie - Carty-Williams  The Doll Factory -MacNeal Lively discussion and cake are usually the order of the day, but WhatsApp comments now have rather cramped our style. So next month, as we t ackle Girl, Woman, Other  we will meet via Zoom! Some entertainment ideas if you are running out of things to watch! 1.The Sewing Bee is back and is running for longer this time, same format as before. Easy fun TV for sewers. 2.  Normal People has had lots of reviews mainly very positive, some saying better than the book. About a relationship between teenagers starting when they are at school and continuing to university.  3. Blood Seasons 1 and 2 with Adrian Dunbar. Drama set
