We choose one book per session and one of the members agrees to present the book giving details about the author and a summary of the plot and the style etc. We then all discuss whether we found it Interesting, enjoyable or not to our taste.

We read both fiction and non-fiction and try to have the titles well in advance to allow plenty of time to obtain and read the book.

We meet in Room 2 at The Hive at 2pm.

The table below has our book choices so far...... more to come. Clicking on the titles will open a brief review of the book. Hopefully there aren't too many spoilers in them!!
