Hello!

This is a reminder that the first Hangout for our book club will take place on 24 February. We will talk about Sgwp! by Lois Arnold.

A number of people have asked for a later start time, so I would like to propose that we go for 8pm rather 7pm. I hope that is OK for as many of you as possible!

I look forward to seeing you on the Hangout.

All the best

Neil

I look forward to seeing you!

Thanks for organising the hangout, Neil. It was fun. I just ordered Gwers Mewn Cariad. Should reach me by mid-March at the latest.

I got my copy online from siop cwlwm @lornarhodes - swift and reasonable :slight_smile: Might be worth checking them out for another book?

Sorry but my ā€œSgwpā€ book took a while to reach Italy. I ordered it on February the 13th and it arrived yesterday! :roll_eyes: Maybe next time!

Hi Gisella!

Iā€™m still quite interested to discuss (i.e. have a second bite at discussing) Sgŵp - maybe a little touch of ā€œcompare & contrast with Becaā€™s Gwers Mewn Cariadā€, with the benefit of having done some ymarfer-siarad or ymarfer-sgwennu using the sort of words & phrases that @nia.llywelyn kindly looked out for us & posted on WSPā€¦

Also looking at other Lois Arnold books & popular learnersā€™ authorsā€¦

Doing each book in Clwb Darllen as a discrete entity will allow us to give maximum access to newcomers but (somehow as an add-on, occasionally) a healthy habit of hearing of each othersā€™ delights & struggles with their own sequence of reading adventures, does appeal to meā€¦

Hi Lorna!

actually I havenā€™t even started reading them! :grin:
But I have both Sgŵp and Gwers Mewn Cariad. So as soon as Iā€™m ready Iā€™ll let you know and Iā€™ll be glad to discuss them with you. :slight_smile:
p.s. Iā€™m afraid I wonā€™t start them very soon because Iā€™m a bit too busy now but I will, I will!
