Our book club is all about companionship, whilst opening your minds to new literature - within a broad wellbeing theme! We read a mix of fiction and non-fiction. It's hosted by some lovely volunteers. Join us as often as it suits.
This month's book, suggested by book club members, is:
Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan
The key topics of this read appear to be: - love - privilege - bisexuality - class - the complexities of modern relationships.
> Get in touch to pick up a FREE copy! (we have a limited number so please check with us first before making the journey)
Wondering how to decide whether a book's for you? Here's some ideas...
1) Read the blurb on the back
2) Read, watch or listen to a review
3) Speak to your local library, or someone who's read it
4) Consider if the key topics are ones you feel up for
5) Remember you can stop reading at any time
Any questions?
