Alpine Action Book Club – Maggie does Meribel

imageAlpine Action Book club – Maggie does Meribel

A book about Mèribel has recently come to our attention so we thought we could all read it together and discuss it. The book is called Maggie Does Meribel by Nichola Doherty and is available as an e-Book on Amazon or Google Books for only £1.49.

You have until Monday the 8th of June to read Maggie does Meribel. Then we will be sharing our review and asking for yours on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.  Use #skibookclub to stay in touch.

Will it ring true with experiences we have had on ski holidays? Will it make us pine even more for another ski holiday/season? Will we recognise the Méribel we know and love? Will it tempt you to book a ski holiday to Méribel next winter?

Here is a brief summary of the book from Amazon…

“Maggie can’t wait for her first ever skiing holiday. New Year’s Eve in the French Alps with her boyfriend Leo and two other couples: what could be more romantic? She’s picturing hot chocolate, romantic snowball fights and evenings snuggled together in front of the log fire. What she didn’t picture is near-death experiences on the mountains, falling out with Leo and sharing a chalet with the unbearable Jenny. When she meets Sylvain, a gorgeous ski instructor, the line between harmless flirting and full-on misbehaviour becomes … well, blurry. Will Maggie stay on the nursery slopes, or go seriously off-piste?”

We look forward to finding out what you think next week.
