Books

Joining Book Club enables you to read books that get you out of your comfort zone - and surprisingly, you frequently enjoy them. You also meet very nice people.

 At the moment, the library service provides us with sets of books each month. Every so often we choose a selection of them from their Reading Group List, take the list to the library, and when they can get a set together, they make them available to us.
At our monthly meeting we chat and discuss that month’s book. We don’t always agree on whether the book was enjoyable, but often the most unpopular books generate the liveliest discussion!
We mostly read fiction, but in a variety of styles, genres and authors.
