Book club meeting 10

If you would like to become a member of our book club, please email orders@paradesendbooks.co.uk.

Our book club meets monthly in the book store to discuss recent works of fiction. We welcome newcomers, whether you are a fiction fanatic or a casual reader.

Note: Due to the ongoing pandemic, this month’s book club is likely to meet over video call rather than in person. A link will be sent by email to everyone signed up to the book club mailing list closer to the date. We hope to resume in person book club at the store in March!
