Project Bookclub.

So, yeah, kinda been busy getting jobs and stuff so whilst there are like 20 odd drafts on the blog we haven't actually published anything for awhile. Whoopsie! Anyway! We're pleased to announce this months book for book club, and renew our promise to be more proactive blog wise!

So this months book is:

Burial Rites! 





Hannah Kent's debut ain't exactly what you'd term cheery but it is excellent and it makes you think! 

To quickly summarise, the story is the fictionalised account of the last days of Agnes Magnusdottír, the last woman and person in general to be executed in Iceland, way back in 1829. 

The story is her back story, the crime for which is she is to be executed and the days leading up to it. As you've probably guess it's not exactly as it appears on the surface. 

Any way, the book is available from all good retails and as an ebook. 

My (Beth's) review will be available at the end of next week. In the meantime however get reading and chatting on the Facebook page or the comments below, eventually we'll figure out how to get a forum page up on here :)

Much love for now,
Beth and Brown. X
