I recently found out about the Walking Book Club www.emilybooks.wordpress.com/the-walking-book-club and went for my first walk today.
We started off from Daunt Bookshop in South End Road in Hampstead. The Book was Mr Pye by Melvyn Peake. Not keen on the book, but enjoyed the discussion, the people and the walk on the Heath in the sunshine.
I also saw male brimstone butterflies fluttering about.
Plan to go again. Next month's book is "The Enchanted April" by Elizabeth von Arnim, which I already have and will enjoy reading again.
Emily, our leader, encourages us to use independent bookshops and libraries to get our copies of the books each month. I hope to do this, though not easy as no independent bookshop near home or work (except the bookshop at work, but they are bad at checking delivery against the order so if the book doesn't arrive it is not chased up promptly!).
