Reading Group

The Contemporary Fiction Reading Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month on the top floor of the Bookshop

The group is run collectively, with each Bookseller taking a turn to choose a book. The evening consists of about an hour’s informal discussion.

You do not need to commit to one group, or every meeting! Just book for those you're interested in each month, and we hope to entice you back for another one.

Each place is £7, which can be redeemed against a copy of any book.

This month's choice: The Binding by Bridget Collins

Emmett Farmer is a binder's apprentice. His job is to hand-craft beautiful books and, within each, to capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If you have something you want to forget, or a secret to hide, he can bind it - and you will never have to remember the pain it caused. In a vault under his mentor's workshop, row upon row of books - and secrets - are meticulously stored and recorded. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of the volumes has his name on it. Emma
