Hear Us
We hope that book group members use this blog to communicate their opinions, feelings, joy, disappointment, ennui, anything about the books they're reading with the book group, or indeed, any other book they might like to share thoughts about. Library staff will endeavour to bring members news about the groups, interesting web sites and other books that they think may be of interest to members.It is said that in the blog world there are lurkers, linkers and thinkers ... we welcome all of these approaches, but don't be shy, post your comments for the greater enjoyment of all - anonymously, if you must!

This space is available to express your literary thoughts on books, not just the 'book loft' proscribed books, but also what you have been reading & other literary topics.
One of the surprising but interesting results of our Book Loft meetings is that we never (unanimously) seem to agree on anything! While some people appreciate a book, others won't be able to finish it. We entertain all shades of opinion at the book loft. We try to be a participatory club, and hope that everybody gets a chance to have their say. So please remember that your comments are valid whether you liked the book or not.
