A Book Group with a difference!

There's an abundance of options on how to run a book group. Not everyone likes to read other people's choices. In Book Group 3 we won't (necessarily) have all read the same book. And that's the difference!

It’s a great format for people who are keen to share their own reading delights and discover other books and authors. At our Friday morning session, members are free to talk about books which they've read which have brought them joy, bored them to tears or left them a bit underwhelmed. Fiction, ‘Faction’, Non-Fiction - in Book Group 3 we cover the waterfront.

Our first of 10 planned meetings in session 2025-26 will be on Friday, 5th September 2025 and we’ll finish on Friday, 5th June 2026. NB The January 2026 meeting will be held on the second Friday of January.

During session 2025-26 we’ll alternate our meetings between open choice and themed reading. Our chosen themes for 2025-26 include: A book which is laugh-aloud funny; our favourite childhood book, a Scottish book (fiction or non-fiction); A New York Times Bestseller (1931- 2024) and A Book with a One-word title.

After every meeting I type up notes about the books we’ve discussed and distribute them to group members.

The group is currently full.
