    I actually got that book yesterday for 99p on Amazon but my brother is getting married that day, it's Holy Thursday.

    Hoping to come along next time.

    Ah, I didn't realise it was Holy Thursday actually. It's always possible to talk about previously chosen books at future book clubs though obviously the focus is mostly on the current pick.

    Congrats to your brother, hope you both enjoy the big day.
