Dear Bookclub Member,

I hope that you are all well and hopefully are enjoying the start of summer. We have finished reading I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. It was an intriguing read and generated a lot of discussion on the forum. If you didn't have a chance to read with us last month, you can join us this month while we read Kim by Rudyard Kipling. You are welcome to join the discussion any time in the Avid Reader Book Club Section of the Community Forum.

The Book Club is currently reading Kim by Rudyard Kipling. As an adventure book full of thrills and controversy it will not disappoint. Come join us as we discuss and dissect this classic piece of literature.

After an extremely tight race, the winner of the next book club vote is... I, Claudius by Robert Graves.

Written in the form of Claudius' autobiography, this is the first part of Robert Graves's brilliant account of the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome, and stands as one of the most celebrated, gripping historical novels ever written.

Next vote, in August we will revisit some of the runners up from past votes and see which one we would like to read. Just because they lost once, doesn't mean they'll lose again. So be sure to vote.

Have a wonderful week and month. Please send along any book suggestions you have.

Have a great day!

Cheers,
Heather
Your Book Club Host
