Comment by Adrian Wiggins on August 2, 2010 at 13:20: Better Read Than Dead in Newtown has one copy of Storm & Honey. The co-op at UTS has seven.

Comment by Greg McLaren on August 2, 2010 at 13:29: Gleebooks also have a bunch. All good bookshops, etc.

Comment by Adrian Wiggins on November 30, 2010 at 14:07: Well with a little sadness I'm calling an end to the Bookclub sessions in Newtown.

While almost everyone I spoke to reckons this to be a great idea, in practice attendance has been pretty quiet.

Perhaps we'll try again in a little while.

Thanks to everyone who came along & joined in over the past few months.

Comment by Tricia Dearborn on November 30, 2010 at 14:34: Goddamn! Sorry to hear it — I enjoyed the ones I went to — and sorry to have missed the last one (for the time being at least ...)

Comment by Adrian Wiggins on November 30, 2010 at 15:58: @Tricia – well September had three folks along, October three also but November just two.

If it had a healthier regular crowd then we could continue, but with those numbers it doesn't make sense.
