We formed in 2021 to read and discuss books chosen by members of the group from the library's extensive list of book sets, which provides us with 10 copies to borrow. This limits us to 10 members, but don't let that put you off enquiring or joining another group.

After our meeting we go for coffee and a chat.

The current year's books are listed below. We discuss each book, and then give it a star rating and say whether a majority of the group would recommend it to a friend. To see a little more detail about what we thought of the books, click on the blue buttons.
