I think it's about time that Wimbledon Village had its own book club. What I have in mind is a group that comes together to discuss books, probably mostly fiction but with a little other stuff thrown into the mix and meeting over coffee, or food, or drinks in a local cafe, restaurant or bar. There may be the occasional 'other event' like a 'meet the author' or a theatre trip, but with books and friendly discussion at the core. At great way to make new friends or cement friendships too.

This is a group for anyone interested in reading aloud together and seeing where that leads us. It's different to a Book Club, in that the reading takes place during the meet-up; you don't have to read aloud yourself, I'll be aiming to provide a safe and warm environment where we can all enjoy hearing the words come to life and then saying something about what it makes us think of. We'll start with some excerpts from a mixture of books and a couple of poems, then maybe think of choosing a book t …

Leeds needs a book group! Having just moved to the area I can see there is a dirth of groups for book and literature lovers. This must change! I don't read anywhere near enough but a group like this one will get me in the habit once more. I can't find a group like it, so I'm creating one myself. Once-a-month meets, discussions on the wonderful world of literature, and the setting of a book to read after each meet. Come on, come all, and we could make this an awesome group.
