Michelle Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The TV Book Club, continues in 2012 offering viewers the chance to celebrate and immerse themselves in Britain’s best writing. In a similar style to book clubs around the country, a panel of presenters including – Meera Syal, Dave Spikey, Rory McGrath and Laila Rouass - review specially selected best reads. Here is the list of the titles to be reviewed in this series: 29th Jan - Before I go to Sleep 5th Feb - The Sisters, Brothers 12th Feb - The Somnabulist 19th Feb - Into the Darkest Corner 26th Feb - The Rules of Civility 4th Mar - Girl Reading 11th Mar - The Report 18th Mar - The Family Fang 25th Mar - Half the Human Race 1st Apr - You Deserve Nothing This looks like an interesting selection of books, and should make for a good show. I've already read Before I Go To Sleep, and a few of the others have caught my attention. Has anyone read any of the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen.d Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I haven't read any of the book's chosen for this year's 'TV Book Club', but I have been hearing a lot about 'Before I go to Sleep' and so I would like to read that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 The two which have seriously caught my eye are Into The Darkest Corner and Girl Reading - so much so that I may have to purchase! I've also added The Report and The Sisters Brothers onto my audible wish list, as they have them available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobblybear Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Two thumbs up from me for Into The Darkest Corner. It was a very harrowing but brilliant read. I've never watched this show before, but there are some interesting books on there so if I remember I will make the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Silly book lists... I've ordered Into The Darkest Corner, bought Girl Reading and The Somnabulist in WHSmiths, and will probably get The Report on audio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I've read Into The Darkest Corner but thats the only 1 mentioned that I have. Its a dark novel about an abusive relationship and what it has done to the main character and why she suffers so badly with OCD and had run away to start a new life. Until her past catches up with her. It was a good read I did enjoy it but I personally wouldn't read it again I don't think. I think because of all the hype it was getting I expected more. Plus it got a little tiresome reading her doing her checks and counting etc. all the time (due to her OCD). I've not watched this programme before maybe I should.

chaliepud Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have now read Half of the Human Race (fantastic) and The Report (so so) and have written short reviews on my reading blog. Still have Into the Darkest Corner and Before I Go to Sleep on my TBR shelf but I'm not in the mood for them at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
