Due to Covid-19 we have moved our meeting online while we all try do our bit to encourage social distancing and help keep everyone keep safe. So grab a cup of tea (or glass of wine) and join us on twitter as we have a good old argument about plot, character, genre and anything else that comes to mind. Each month has a diffrent theme and the next book will be voted for, via Twitter Poll following our discussion!

During times of crisis we often turn to books as an escape from the stress and uncertainity that surrounds us. That is why this month our choosen theme is “comfort reads” – gentle, reasurring, feel good novels that have proven to be a great source of relief in times of trouble.
