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.

This month's book

This month I was super-thrilled to see so many people turn up - including some new people - welcome! We discussed last month's book, Sophie Hannah's psychological thriller, Little Face. Most people thoroughly enjoyed it, finding it entertaining and gripping. However, Lorraine thought it was 'silly' and Julian thought it was terrible, lacking in 'soul'.

This month's shortlist was chosen by Ali, who picked a theme....

The Sea by John Banville
The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (this was a cryptic one...)
The Sea Around Us by Rachel Carson

And the winner, in a 2 round thrilling vote, is:

The Sea by John Banville

Happy reading.
