Reading groups

Love books? Love reading? Want to share books with others? Why not join a reading group?

Reading groups are not about deep literary discussions and not about right or wrong interpretations of a book. They are actually great fun. They are a great way for people who enjoy reading to get together and relax whilst sharing thoughts and feelings about books. They can also lead them to discover new authors or types of fiction (or even non-fiction) that they may not have tried before.

If you are interested in joining a reading group, details are below.
