preparation for the next show - get involved!

Hello BookClub Fans!

I hope you are all well and enjoying your reading and artistic lives!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to 'The Ultimate Reading List' on facebook! KEEP SUGGESTING! I am in the process of setting up a page with Subcity for non-facebook users to use, so please be patient :)

After a number of children's books being recommended last week on the show, the theme for next Wednesday's show is 'Childhood Favourites'. SO I NEED YOU HELP! Please get in touch with all your favourite childhood books, tv programmes, films, first memories of the theatre, anything really just get in touch and let me know! You can send in your suggestions via the Subcity forum, or on the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=156973997670620&ref=ts Also if you have any song suggestions, or musical requests that remind you of your childhood years, let me know and I'll see if I can sneak them in!

Please get involved! The show will not be the same without you!

Remember you can still listen to last weeks show via the listen again feature so DO IT NOW!

Until the next piece of news, farewell bookclubbers xxx
