If you love to chat about books, why not join our monthly online live chat reading group. The group meet on the last Thursday of each month, and there is a different theme to choose from every time, giving you plenty of choice to read a book that you'd like to chat about. This informal group is a great way to connect with other people, and chat about books all from the comfort of your own home. Our April theme is to read a book from the World Book Night booklist. If you struggle with the theme, then do come along and share any book you have read in the month. Book your place. If you prefer to read a set book, and want to meet in person, then find a book group near you. Have you heard of Shared Reading? Join our Shared Reading groups and enjoy stories and poetry in a completely new way. The group leader will read aloud and then we talk about what we have read. Expect lively conversation and thoughtful discussion. Expect surprises and a new appreciation of the power of words. We have online groups, and in person groups. Find a session near you.
