Bibliomaniac's Book Club: Books for 2017

Welcome to Bibliomaniac's Book Club! Here you can find titles and questions to help support your book group. There are two options, either the PaperLight option or the PaperWeight option depending on the preference of your book group.

Questions and any other links to authors, giveaways or competitions will be posted on the 1st of each month so you can use them for your discussion of that book.  So for example, check back on 1st February for questions on "Swimming Lessons" by Claire Fuller and "Sofia Khan" by Ayisha Malik

Happy Reading!

Welcome to Bibliomaniac's Book Club 2017

As many of you know, I devour books for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will make you late for a appointment by talking about books, I will recommend twelve books when you only asked for one, my To Be Read pile rivals the height of the neighbour's roof and I cannot resist buying the latest, most talked about book - or the forgotten, overlooked paperback for that matter!

My name is Katherine and I am a Bibliomaniac!

So where better to start if you want to talk about books and keep up with what everyone is reading than a Book Club!

Bibliomaniac's Book Club
The aim of my Book Club is to give everyone who might already be in a book group, or who might like to start up a book group, or might like some suggestions and direction with their own reading, some support. Each month I have suggested a novel to read and on the 1st of each month I will post some suggestions for snacks & drinks to accompany your book group evening as well as some questions or discussion ideas to chat about. I am hoping to also add in some video links with author interviews and a few little treats, competitions and giveaways along the way......

There are two options for each month: a paperlight suggestion with matching questions and a paperweight suggestion also with questions, so there should be things to to suit the mood of any group or the kind of reading your group likes to do.



Here is my 12 month plan for the Bibliomaniac's Book Club.
