Just popping in for a quick reminder that the 1970 Club is coming on Monday!
Hosted by me and Karen (see her post about it), we ask everyone to read one or more books published in 1970 and post a review wherever you post reviews. Any type of book, any language, anything goes!
Since I’m doing A Century of Books, I’ll just be reading a handful – but I’m looking forward to finding out what everyone else is reading, for recommendations to stock up on.
Happy reading!
Looking forward to it. I’ve already started mine: “The Bluest Eye” by Tony Morrison.

Really looking forward to it Simon – thanks to you and Kaggsy for hosting!
Thank you for co-hosting this Simon. I had not forgotten and am looking forward to it! 😊
In a shock move, I have read my book and scheduled my review! I have linked to this post of yours for the time being but will send you a link, too.
Thanks for doing this! https://hopewellslibraryoflife.wordpress.com/2024/10/03/1970-club/
Yay! I’m ready!
I’m looking forward to this one!!
Thanks for hosting! Looking forward to this. I’ve finished my first book!
1970… Gosh! My mind is blankish. So I searched through my massive spreadsheets of Books Read (since 2010) and Books I Own. Barely a handful pubbed in 1970. Most of them kind of middling books.
Just three that do it for me: 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff, The Journals of Susanna Moodie (poetry) by Margaret Atwood, and A Bird in the House, by Margaret Laurence.
I’m looking forward to discovering more from the year I turned 20.
A few thoughts to get the week started….

A big thank you to you and Karen for organising this! I’ve reread Mary Stewart’s The Crystal Cave, and expect I won’t be the only one!

I’ll be posting on The Murder at the Savoy next and have begun The Woods in Winter but doubt I’ll be able to get the post up soon enough!
I’ve enjoyed looking at the large amount of options, choosing the books to read and reading 1970 publications. Thank you Simon and Karen for hosting.
