OK, here are the notes/books from last weeks meeting from Rebecca's email.

"Hi everyone
Last week we had another small meeting. The recommendations from this faithful group include:

Of Bees and Mist by Erick Setiawan
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan (see review below)
A Week at the Airport by Alain de Botton (review coming in the next week or so)
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares
The Post Birthday World by Lionel Shriver
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

The new titles are:

At Home : a short history of private life by Bill Bryson
Seeing further : the story of science and the Royal Society ed. Bill Bryson
Darkmans by Nicola Barker
How to talk about books you haven't read by Pierre Bayard
The audacity of hope by Barack Obama
Life in Seven Mistakes by Susan Johnson
The thousand autumns of Jacob De Zoet by David Mitchell

Finally, just as a heads up, by popular request, we are probably going to go back to Wednesday nights starting next term."

The good thing about a small group is that we don't have to fight over who gets what!  I managed to snaffle Bill Bryson's 'At Home' and Pierre Bayard's 'How To Talk About Books You Haven't Read'  The Bayard book should have some good tips for when I'm at parties!!!!
