For December 2024 we’re taking a well earned rest and meeting up for a Social instead. For January 2025 we will be reading Rubbernecker by Belinda Bauer.
In January 2025 there will be three meetings.
7pm on Monday 27th January on Zoom (Please email the bookshop to ask for a link to the zoom meeting)
6pm and 7:30pm (2 sessions) on Wednesday 29th January in the bookshop (Only available to existing book club members as these meetings are full - sorry) (Please email the bookshop to say which session you plan to attend)
Many thanks,
Gill
Our Book Club has been running since 2010 and continues to thrive. At one stage it became too large and we split it in two - so we had two meetings a month, both reading the same book. When Covid struck, we moved to Zoom and then when restrictions lifted we continued on Zoom but have also moved back to having two face to face meetings a month in the bookshop. All the meetings are very friendly, relaxed groups and new members are made to feel very welcome. There is no pressure to say anything if you don't want to!
We read a mixture of books with a focus on contemporary fiction. Pretty much the only rule is that members of the Book Club should buy the book from our shop. Please do not bring kindles to meetings, being a member of the Book Club is about supporting The Little Ripon Bookshop.
