Twitter Book Club
Welcome to the Twitter Book Club
(it's like a normal Book Club, but it's on Twitter!)
 
Every month or two, Twitter Book Club meets up on Twitter to discuss a book chosen by people on Twitter. So you can see why it's called Twitter Book Club (No, i'm not going to change it to X Book Club). 
 
We chat in a special Twitter DM group, usually over a couple of days, before giving the book marks out of ten. 
 
If you wanna join, just message me on Twitter with the hashtag #BGBookCLUB

Lower down this page you can see the books we've chosen previously, in order of popularity.
Circe still holds the number 1 spot!

IT'S TIME TO CHOOSE THE NEXT BOOK FOR OUR TWITTER BOOK CLUB!
 
 
There are just TWO books on this month's shortlist. Both are on the longlist for this year's International Booker Prize. 
 
I've put a poll on Twitter (HERE), and there's a bit of blurb about both books HERE. 
 
PLEASE VOTE.

LAST MONTH'S BOOK

The book chosen was... 
 
 
Abroad in Japan by Chris Broad.
 
The book was enjoyed by our group, especially the first 2/3rds of the book. The ending seemed a little rushed, but overall the book was given very healthy score of 7.43/10

It now sits at number 5 on the scores chart for all the previous books we've read (see below for a full list). 

Well done Chris Broad!
