Slade House - 15th of August



Lots of different opinions about Hot Milk. Some found themselves indifferent about the characters and the book unrealistic whereas others loved the style of writing and found it a gripping read. 

Our next book is Slade by David Mitchell. 
"Mitchell plays with interlocking stories and times as if fiction were a Rubik's cube." - Independent 

Other pitched books
The Song of Achilles, - M. Miller
Black Water - Louise Doughty
