Ok here it is girls - the refuge for the regular members of the SMJ forum and their Book Club.

The next post is reserved for the books that are on our reading lists after discussions and recommendations on the SMJ Forum. I'm compiling them all together so that we can have a ready reckoner for books anytime we need.

The forum is predominantly female so far, and yes we are quite vocal and don't pull our punches. We pepper our talk with a lot of bite. So if you wander in by mistake, carry your own armor.

Discussions can range from books to current events to chocolates, but we eventually return to books somehow :)

Since we all belong to different timezones, I'm adding a link to a Meeting Planner that I find quite useful. This would help us find out what time each of us would be most accessible. Perhaps we can also add the approximate times we are online in our timezones, to help others.

These days into Boudica series by Manda Scott - it's a somewhat fictional account of the Roman invasion of Britannia. Historically Romans were routed by an army led by a female warrior called Boudica. Part research, part imagination.
