September's Read

So August's bookclub was hosted by K in her lovely home in County Kildare. She cooked yummy enchiladas and we spent an enjoyable afternoon discussing the 19th Wife. We had all read and enjoyed the book - will wonders ever cease?

So we decided on the following book for September's BookClub:

The Wish List By Martina Reilly

Like any married couple, Allie and Tony have had their fair share of heartache. But when Tony's actions force Allie and her young sons out of their home, things take a turn for the worse. Without her husband around, Allie must cope with two inquisitive children - as well as the reappearance of her estranged father. So when her eldest Mark befriends next-door neighbour Jeremy, Allie's glad he's found a distraction. The trouble is that Mark believes Jeremy is Santa Claus and that he can put the family back together.
While Jeremy is increasingly mortified at the mix-up, a little magic never did anyone any harm - did it?
I will be hosting the next bookclub probably towards the end of September so get reading and i'll be in touch with details about the meeting later in the month.
