The premise of our group is to read books that, as readers, we may not choose for ourselves. Each month we read a book chosen by one of our members and discuss it at our meeting. It is very unusual for us all to agree on what we think of the book, although it has happened once or twice!!
The Bookworms Group normally meet at Colville House on the 2nd Monday of each month between 14:00 and 15:30. We usually keep in touch via email and WhatsApp
We look forward to meeting you
The books we will be reading this year can be found below
