Generally, book clubs seem to be an all, or a nearly all women affair. In an effort to redress the balance, Alan has started a book club for gents.
Hopefully it will give us an opportunity to chat about some great books in a relaxed pub environment. There is no pressure to say anything if you don't want to. The book club takes place on the first Tuesday of each month at 8pm in The Golden Lion pub, Leyburn.
We will read a mix of books yet to be decided.
Please email info@thewonkytreebookshop.co.uk if you would like to join us, or pop into the shop and let us know in person.
The only rules for our book club - please do buy the book from us and a drink from the pub (beer is optional!)
Once a monster - Robert Dinsdale
London, 1861: Ten-year-old Nell belongs to a crew of mudlarks who work a stretch of the Thames along the Ratcliffe Highway. An orphan since her mother died, leaving Nell with only broken dreams and a pair of satin slippers, she spends her days searching for treasure in the mud in order to appease her master, Benjamin Murdstone.
But one day, Nell discovers a strange body on the shore. Nearly seven feet tall, the creature has matted hair covering his legs, and on his head is the suggestion of horns. Nell's fellow mudlarks urge her to steal what she can, but as she ventures closer the figure draws breath – and Nell is forced to make a decision that will change her life for ever .
