September's nearly done and October starts on Thursday!

This means Cityside Book Club will be meeting to discuss Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman this Thursday at the Community Venue at the Mackay City Library at 6.00pm.

Due to the classic status of Harper Lee's previous novel To Kill a Mockingbird, expectations are high for this novel which Harper Lee has described as the parent novel of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Cara Erica from The Guardian writes this about this long-anticipated novel while Michelle Smith in The Conversation posits a variety of aspects of Go Set A Watchman.

Looking forward to hearing our book clubbers experience of Harper Lee's new novel this Thursday!
