Announcing the next club…

The 1976 Club has been great fun – and you only have to wait six months until we do it all again. After some discussion, Karen and I have nominated 1954 Club for next time. I don’t know about you, but my shelves seem to be heaving with books to read from that year.

Anyway, you have an awful lot of time to prepare! Pop it in your diaries now.

    Okay, I’m going to try to participate this time! I’m going to hunt for some books published in this year and see if I can accrue a little stack to play along.

    Thanks for the info. I don’t have a 1954 book on my TBR pile but since I have half a year to find one … I’m really looking forward to it.

      There seem to have been some big hitters this year, too

    Hooray, you’ve picked a year when I do have a few books in the unread pile that will qualify.

    I hope to join this time. Unfortunately, I doubt that I have anything published in 1954, but I will have a look through my hundreds of books!

    Hm… I think the only thing I have on my shelves from that year is Live and Let Die by Ian Flemming, but I haven’t read Casino Royale yet.

      I suspect you could probably read them out of order without losing too much nuance!

    Thanks for the advanced notice, it helps a lot as I am trying to organise myself to free up time to read from my TBR and/or read more ‘classic’ books (referencing age rather than genre) so this is a good opportunity and I have something in mind which fits in nicely. So, given plenty of notice, I have popped it into the diary and hope to join in. Thanks, J – LBRBsBlogs

    I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to participate this time, I’ve been in a real reading slump! But I’m always intrigued. I did poke around a bit and found several books published in 1954 that I want to read, I hope I’ll be more inspired next time!
