We are a group of book lovers who enjoy a range of genres and are excited to meet in order to broaden our reading experience, talk about literature, share recommendations and, just as importantly, socialise. Each time we meet, the host will choose a book for us to discuss at the following meeting which would be about a month later at a mutually convenient date.
The book for our next meeting is Reykjavik by Ragnar Jonasson and Katrin Jakobsdottir
