Our book club is a monthly gathering on the first Wednesday of each month.
We will meet on Zoom from 7 - 8pm. The tone will be very informal – and hopefully, fun and interesting.
Everyone is invited - and we’d love it if you can read the book before you arrive! If you buy your book from Bookends in Carlisle, they’ll give you 20% off.
Our next meeting will be 7th October when we'll be discussing Quantum of Menace by Vaseem Khan
