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.

Pyjamas

I haven't got the new book yet, but have been reading some pretty goof stuff. John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was a wonderful little story about a nine-year old boy who talked about his father's job and his move to 'Out-with' and has very powerful ending which had me sitting in stunned silence. I can't say anything about the storyline or the ending but read it. You see a particular world through a child's eyes.

Previous to that, I read The Winter Rose by Jennifer Connolly, set in the early 1900s about a doctor in the East End, who falls for a gangster. Loved it. It was full of intruigue, and some pretty good sexy bits too!
