That’s right, there is something different planned for April’s meeting and I’m rather excited about it.
Have you seen this movie trailer with Samuel L. Jackson in yet – Big Game? Have a look at it. It looks fantastic.
And no, I haven’t managed to snag Mr Jackson himself for the meeting I’m afraid, but as it’s a book club, I have managed to snag the man who was asked to pen a novel based on this very movie!
Yes, Dan Smith was asked to write a novel based on this. It’s aimed at the older children market, so think Percy Jackson, just before YA.
There’s no vote for April, this is the book we are reading (and don’t forget if the older children market isn’t your usual thing you can always use your library). Dan is very bravely going to be joining us for the Hangout. You can bombard him with as many questions as you want. And I’ve already asked – no he hasn’t met him!
I’m really looking forward to this, our first author book club meeting and what a great start.
April’s meeting will be Wednesday 15th April, 8 p.m. GMT. I look forward to seeing you there! If you’ve never joined us before, you can find the how-to details Here.
(And don’t forget, March’s meeting was moved a week, so it’s not next Wednesday it’s Wednesday 25th, so I’ll hopefully see you there for that one as well.)

You’re welcome Margot. I’m really excited about it myself! 🙂
MarinaSofia says
How cool! Looking forward to it – you rock!
Rebecca Bradley says
Thanks Marina. I’m glad you’re pleased about it 🙂
MarinaSofia says
And of course I have the perfect reader for it – my older son, who will have all the questions ready for Dan.
Rebecca Bradley says
You reminded me I could tell my little man about the book as well, which I already have on my bookcase as I was aware of it happening so there is definitely time for both of us to read it 🙂

It looks great doesn’t it! And yes, I’m really looking forward to April’s meeting 🙂
Steph says
I had never heard of the film but very interested. Looking forward to reading it and the meeting. See you next week and hope you’re feeling better
Rebecca Bradley says
Thanks Steph, it looks interesting doesn’t it 🙂
Steph says
That should have said two weeks, not next week. I’m a week ahead?
Rebecca Bradley says
I was glad you figured that out 🙂
