We’d love you to join our Borderlines Book Club ! - Borderlines Carlisle Book Festival

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 Wednesday, 6th August when we'll be discussing Enlightenment by Sarah Perry
