The Bell Book Club

Our book club has been running for a couple of months now and it's proving to be a great source of inspiration for what to read next, as well as a lovely, relaxed way to spend an evening. 

 

So far we have been meeting on the last Tuesday of every month but as a result of requests from book club members from now on we'll be meeting on the last THURSDAY of the month, so our next meeting will be on Thursday September 28th. 

 

This book club is a little different to what you may be used to - instead of one person choosing a book and the rest of the group having to read it to discuss at the next meeting - which, let's be honest, can feel a bit like having to do homework if it's a book you're not enjoying - with The Bell Book Club you come along and talk about a book you have previously enjoyed. It might be your all time favourite that you go back to every year, something you've just finished and want to rave about or anything in between. If you want to bring the book with you please do, but you don't have to - although be warned that, if you do bring it with you, someone might want to take it away to read! 

 

So far we have had a wide range of books recommended, here are some of them: 

 

Piranesi by Susannah Clarke 

 

The Sealwoman's Gift by Sally Magnusson 

 

The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper 

 

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus 

 

Consider Phlebus by Iain M Banks 

 

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susannah Clarke 

 

You don't have to stick to fiction - we'd love to hear about any books you've been enjoying, from any genre so whatever your interest, if you're a book lover come along and join us, we'd love to meet you!
