*** Note that each book has a link you can click on to get a review - each is from a different site, so much time can be spent browsing different book suggestions on these...



*** Note that we will try a new discussion process for September:
- Everyone would give the selected book a mark out of 10:  just a number based on whatever criteria you want.
- Then, taking turns we defend our mark (a maximum 2 min statement ) – no discussion until everyone has their turn. You can pass if you want to.
- Then it’s a free for all, questions, points of view, etc.

Hopefully, this means everyone’s point of view is heard by everyone which prompts further discussion. So come prepared in Sept with a mark out of 10 for Indian Horse.
