Buckhurst Hill

Book Club ๐Ÿ“š

Bookclub meets on the 2nd Monday of the month, from 10am to 12 pm, with members taking it in turn to host the group in their homes.

Unusually, perhaps, for a very friendly Bookclub, we tend, actually, to discuss the book (recommended the previous month by a member of the group) in some depth! This is with the aid of thought-provoking questions about the characters and their relationships, the plot and the style of writing and, although these may inspire reminiscences, mention of similar books and reports of personal experience, we generally save chit-chat and gossip until coffee-time!! We are lucky in that most of the books we read are lent to us by the library.
Occasionally, we may ring the changes by asking each participant, in turn, to review a book of their choice, so, in one meeting, we may be introduced to a dozen new books, not all receiving accolades! The last such meeting proved very popular.

These are some of the books that the Group has read recently.

The Doctor Where the Crawdads Sing Girl, Woman, Other Beloved All the Light We Cannot See Crooked Heart
Walking Home Vanishing Half Small Pleasures The Goldfinch Lies Lies Lies Shuggie Bain
Thursday Murder Club Midnight at the Malabar Hotel The Farm at the Edge of the World The Dutch House The Giver of Stars The Rose Code
The Salt Path Night Music Hag Seed The Murmur of Bees

Please contact Jackie via the 'Blue Envelope' if you are interested in joining the short waiting list for this group.

Alternatively, if anyone would like to start a second Book Club, the Group Coordinator Fiona would be very pleased to hear from you. You can contact her through the Groups front page.
