I have always loved books and reading. I’ve also wanted to be part of a book club, discussing books with fellow readers.
The Novel Kicks Book Club is a chance for us all to discuss books from the comfort of our own armchairs. There’s no weekly meeting; it runs all month, 24-7.
We discuss one book per month and the book we discuss is in your hands. The suggestion forum opens on the 1st of each month (this can be located in the Book Club Forum). After approx three weeks, all of your suggestions go into a poll; the winning suggestion after one week becomes our book club title for the upcoming month.
Also keep an eye out for Book Club related competitions.

 Who is Mr Satoshi by Jonathan Lee
William Heinmann, 2010
On the day his mother dies, reclusive photographer Rob Fossick - forty-one and already in the twilight of his career - finds among her belongings an unexplained package addressed to a 'Mr Satoshi.'
So begins a quest that will propel Rob, anxious and unprepared, into the urban maelstrom of Tokyo. With the help of a colourful group of new acquaintances - a vigilant octogenarian; a beautiful 'love hotel' receptionist; an ex-sumo wrestler obsessed with Dolly Parton - the scene seems set for him to unravel the secrets surrounding Mr Satoshi's identity. But until he has faced his own demons, and begun to reconnect with the world around him, the answers Rob craves will remain tantalisingly beyond his reach.

 Foursome by Jane Fallon
Penguin, 2010
Rebecca, Daniel, Alex and Isabel have been best friends since university. Rebecca married Daniel, Alex married Isabel and, for twenty years, they have been inseparable. But all that is about to change. When Alex walks out on Isabel, Rebecca thinks things can't get any worse. But then she finds out the reason why and she's left harbouring a secret she'd rather forget. And there's more upheaval to come in Rebecca's life as her emaciated, neurotic, self-obsessed colleague, Lorna - her arch nemesis at work - suddenly becomes a regular feature in her social life.
Rebecca's once-happy foursome is now a distant memory and with hearts broken and friendships fractured, it seems that change is never a good thing. Or is it? |
