All My Big Fat Scottish Weddings  by Marilyn Ferguson Vallely
All My Big Fat Scottish Weddings
by Marilyn Ferguson Vallely | Learn more and buy
It is well written by a Scottish journalist/ book editor who, in her spare moments, created a wedding business empire - from her spare bedroom. The period was one of enormous change from 1971 to 2012 and the thousands of weddings during that period reflected Scottish life after joining Europe. Mainly the books are funny and character-filled- good reads!

Freja (Gullane)

Seeking a book club

I am looking for a club that meets in the afternoon or evenings. Reading gives me a sense of escape from the trials and tribulations of the world we live in. A book club I find exciting in that ideas and underlying thoughts that are missed can be exchanged and discussed with other readers and hopefully emerging friends. I enjoy and list crime, thriller, historical, philosophical, discovery, adventure and other reading genre as my likes. It would be quite fulfilling and enjoyable to be with others on the trail of discovery and make friends. Kim Morgan-Alexander
