#1956Club – ready, set, go!

The 1956 Club starts tomorrow – this is the place to leave your review links, or feel free to put your review in the comments if you don’t write reviews anywhere.

For the uninitiated – every six months, Karen and I ask everyone to read books published in the same year, and together we compile a portrait of the year. All types of books welcome; all languages welcome. Make your own rules if you’re in doubt.

Can’t wait to see what everyone reads – it already looks like it’s going to be an absolutely stellar year.
