Members of the Blackwood Bookworm Group perform their singing review

Libraries are usually the place to be quiet, but for one reading group it was the perfect setting for a singsong book review.

Blackwood Library Bookworms Reading Group decided to do something a bit different for their review of CJ Sansom’s Heartstone – a crime novel set in the Tudor era.

After hearing about a nationwide book review competition, the 18-member reading group decided to set their review to the tune of Greensleeves and don Tudor-style clothing for a YouTube book critique.

The group will find out on February 6 if their effort has won.
