Novel Kicks Book Club: Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
September is here. Autumn is in the air and the book I’ve picked for this month is one that has just been released as a motion picture with a song by Taylor Swift.
I am talking about Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.
I have been wanting to read this book for ages. It sounds very intriguing and I can’t wait to start. I also would like to read the book before I see the movie. Anyone else have the need to do this?
Our book club is online so you can take part from the comfort of your armchair. It’s open to all, whether you’re in the middle of reading it, not started yet or have read it and want to talk about it.
I’ve posted a question below in the comments to get the discussion going. I’m looking forward to chatting about this book with you.
About the book:
For years, rumours of the ‘Marsh Girl’ have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl.

Novel Kicks Book Club: Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Penguin, April 2022.
Hello fellow book lovers.
I am very excited for this month’s book, Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
This is an author that has been on my TBR list for a long time (I have heard so many good things about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.)
I chose this one for July as the cover of this novel screams summer. I can just imagine sun, cold drink and this book.
Our book club is completely open to everyone and anyone. You can join in at any point in the month whether you’re reading along with me or have already read it.
I have posted a question below in the comments to kick off the discussion and I look forward to seeing you there and talking about this book.

I don’t know about you but, even by the blurb, this book sounds brilliant and I can’t wait to get started.
Anyone can take part in our book club, at any point in the month, whether you’ve already read the novel or will be reading along with me. As usual, I’ve posted a question below in the comments to start the discussion. See you there.
About The Night She Disappeared…

Midsummer 2017: teenage mum Tallulah heads out on a date, leaving her baby son at home with her mother, Kim.
At 11 p.m. she sends her mum a text message. At 4.30 a.m. Kim awakens to discover that Tallulah has not come home.
Friends tell her that Tallulah was last seen heading to a pool party at a house in the woods nearby called Dark Place.
by Novel Kick’s Book Club: The Gift by Cecelia Ahern
HarperCollins, Nov 2017
It’s December! It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the last month of 2021.
I know it’s been a bit of a strange year. I am really determined to find my Christmas spirit though.
December is my favourite month. Beautiful lights adorn buildings.
I get to have an advent calendar (which you’re never too old for.)
I can play Christmas music as much as I like and I finally get to put up the Christmas Tree, watch Christmas movies and most importantly sit down with my favourite Christmas themed novel.
Gabe is the homeless man who sits outside Lou’s office. When Lou invites Gabe into the building and into his life, Lou’s world is changed beyond all measure.
A Christmas story that speaks to all of us about the value of time and what is truly important in life.
