    Which one would you like to do and when, fineline? At the moment April is open and others. If nobody wants to facilitate in April, I can move my selection from June to April. My reluctance is that April is a busy month in the students accessibility centre with us coordinating accommodated final exams.

    I'll do Hamnet. I don't mind doing two months in a row if people are okay with that. So I'm happy to do it in April.

    I could do something in July if you'd like. What sort of thing would you like? Should it be something I've read before or something new to me too?

    I've done both when I've led book discussions. Sometimes I find it fun to reread a book, and other times I like to read something new.

    Hamnet for April would be good. I'm happy to lead on Persuasion which I've just re-read if anyone is interested or have we done it fairly recently?

    OK how about "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russell for July?

    I would like to read this. I've heard good things about it (maybe from Ship of Fools, in fact, though I'm not sure) and it's on my Kindle.

    I don't know if it's been done, but I'd like to read it. I confess I've never much liked Jane Austen, but recently I've been trying to read her books from the perspective of trying to see why people like them so much. I read Pride and Prejudice recently, but I haven't yet read Persuasion.

    The Sparrow sounds a good choice for July.
