Episode1, Season 11 of The Book Club (Australian ABC TV) and I couldn't be happier. Everyone else is at hockey and I've got a quiet half hour to indulge in more book stuff!
Cataluna6 Gah!! I missed that it's started again. 8y
Michelle_mck It's on the planner hope I get to or tonight or iview in bed tonight 8y
MrsMalaprop ❤️❤️, but you've cropped out Clementine 😧. She was rather quiet actually. Love that show 😊. I stayed up to watch it last night. 8y

LeeRHarry I stayed up too 😊 I agreed with Marieke re the first book but maybe not quite so vehemently 😏 8y
Sue Yay! 8y
Joanne1 @Cataluna6 iView!! That's how I watch everything. 8y
Joanne1 @MrsMalaprop that was unintentional. My photo had all five in but when I put it into Litsy it cropped the two guests out. She was quiet, I find Marieke annoyingly overbearing some episodes and this was one of them! BTW if you're a Victorian Clem Ford (along with Kate Grenville and Hannah Kent) are speaking at Clunes Booktown this year. It's a great festival. 8y
Joanne1 @Michelle_mck perfect in bed viewing! 8y
Joanne1 @LeeRHarry yes, the discussion didn't make me want to rush out and get that book (though I have vastly different literary views to Marieke Hardy, if Jason had given it the thumbs up it would have been hot on my list). I did immediately put a hold on the second book at the library though. 8y
LeeRHarry @Joanne1 I put a hold on that one and one of Jen's picks - I might head up to Clunes on the Sat, unfortunately the session for Hannah Kent is sold out on that day 😔 8y
Joanne1 @LeeRHarry my bookclub rent a house and spend the whole weekend (fri-sun) being total book nerds. I'll be away this year and I'm so jealous, the line up is great. Having said that, I'm spending a week in Samoa 🇼🇸. 8y
MrsMalaprop @Joanne1 & @LeeRHarry Neither of the books leapt out at me. I'm from Victoria but live in WA. I saw Clem and Marieke at the Perth Writer's Festival earlier this year. I missed out on Hannah Kent as she was on the same time as Women of Letters which took priority for me ❤️. 8y
LeeRHarry @Joanne1 that's a great idea! Maybe I'll suggest this to my book group for next year 😊 Wow Samoa! That will be fab ! 😊 8y
ReadingEnvy A book club on TV?!? 8y
Joanne1 @ReadingEnvy oh yes indeed! 8y
Victoria_Clyne @LeeRHarry Hannah Kent is doing two talks as well participating in the Women in Writing panel, though one of her talks is on the Sunday. 8y
LeeRHarry @Victoria_Clyne thanks for the heads up - I'll have a closer look at the event list 😊 8y
Victoria_Clyne No worries @LeeRHarry. Wouldn't want you to miss out. I've bought tickets to the Sunday Hannah Kent talk as well as the Women in Writing panel and Kate Grenville. I am super excited and very disappointed for @joanne1. 8y
Marchpane @LeeRHarry Jen mentioned Storyland, was it that one? I thought it was wonderful 8y
Storyland
Joanne1 @Marchpane that one sounded great. 8y
LeeRHarry @Marchpane that's the one! Glad you thought it was fab 😊 8y
Marchpane @Joanne1 @LeeRHarry The lineup for future episodes looks awesome too (I'm excited 😊) http://www.abc.net.au/tv/firsttuesday/comingup/ So many great books! 8y
Joanne1 @Marchpane yes, I thought the same thing. I'm looking forward to this season so much. 8y
Cataluna6 Thank goodness for iView! That's how I watched this episode, but I've set it to record each week now so I don't miss it. 8y
Joanne1 @Cataluna6 absolutely! 8y
