Welcome to the Globe Bookgroup blog! Here, members of the group can post messages about past and present books, and catch up with other members. The Globe Bookgroup meets around every 4-5 weeks on a Thursday night in The Globe pub, Baker Street. We get very excited about choosing and voting for our books. We don't do organised discussions or heavy hardbacks.

Monica Ali would go to the jumble sale if I knew where one was!

And, The No.1 Lady Detectives Agency made me smile a BIG SMILE (and I'm going to get Alexander McCall Smith to sign my precious copy when I go to see him do a book reading of his latest book in Sydney in a fortnight. Can't wait!!)
