June 2008: "Princess Margaret" by Tim Heald

[Elspeth]

Here is the schedule for the discussions and chat about the June 2008 Book Club book (Princess Margaret: a Life Unravelled by Tim Heald). If you wish to take part in the discussion during June, you should have read (or be reading) the chapters specified in the thread title. We have divided the book into sections for weekly discussion, and there will be an hour of facilitated discussion at the beginning of each new period. However, the thread will be open for general discussion at all times. Please note that discussion of later chapters than those specified in the thread title is not permitted, and posts containing such spoilers will be deleted. If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or feedback, please contact Empress, GlitteringTiaras, or me.
