UKQU BOOK CLUB 7 years agoThe dressmaker of Khair Khana by Gayle Lemmon. This is a book about sewing (rather than quilting) and about creating a brighter future even when it seems impossible. This is a true story about Kamila from Kabul.

UKQU BOOK CLUB 7 years agoRosemarie, I promise you that not all of the books will be part of a series, so you’ll hopefully have some ‘free’ time in the months to come! Glad you have enjoyed the books so far.

UKQU BOOK CLUB 7 years, 1 month agoThanks Pam! Having canvassed interest a year ago, it just seemed such a shame not to continue with a book club. I may be less skilled at leading any discussions, but the Forum is here if anyone would like to discuss the books.
Agree regarding the story; a bit predictable and over-simplistic, but still enjoyable.

I am a big audiobook fan because I can stitch whilst I listen so please can you choose some books that are available in audio format. Love being introduced to books I haven’t come across before and then see other people’s comments.

I know for sure that at least one of the books scheduled until September is available on Audible, but not so sure about the others. Almost all of them are available as print and ebook; and many of the ebooks have the ‘speech’ function enabled. A bit ‘mechanical’ but perhaps a possibility. The publishers of quilting novels seem to be smaller outlets so not prioritising audio (guessing it is still expensive to make).
