Finally....the Bookworms blog is back!

There are no excuses for the appalling lack of updates recently and only promises that I will try harder. Life just has a bad habit of getting in the way of reading -  never mind writing about reading!

So far this year, we have found ourselves wanting to write real letters with The Peculiar Life of the Lonely Postman, munching (and increasing our waistlines) along with The Gourmet, remembering that books are always better than films with Far From The Madding Crowd and falling in love with furry insects with The Bees.

The month of May sees us tackling The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov - although disappointingly it's not about cocktails! I've only just started reading it but so far I've established that it's set in a Soviet Moscow where God is dead but the Devil is alive and only The Master and his beautiful lover Margarita can conquer the chaos. Translated from Russian, I think reading this is going to be a fascinating experience!

Bookclub still meets on the first Sunday of every month at The Black Lion, Welsh Row, Nantwich. We always welcome new members, new ideas and suggestions of what to read next - we will give anything a try! We also try to get together for cinema trips, theatre visits or meals out a few times a year.

Please follow us on Twitter @booknantwich (I tend to update it more regularly!) or email nantwichbookworms@gmail.com for more information.

Happy reading!
