Reading Circle - General

The reading Circle is a relaxed, informal type of book club. Pre-pandemic we met once a year in either September or October and members brought their suggestions for books that the group might like to read during the year. While enjoying a cup of tea/coffee and some snacks the group discussed which of these books the majority would like to put on the shortlist. The convener then took the shortlist and purchased the books to be circulated during the year. Last year we did it all by e-mail and we might do the same again this year while we transition out of the pandemic.

Once the reading list is decided, each member is given one of the books which are then circulated around the group on a monthly basis, the cost being shared between the members. We read a wide variety of genres including fiction, biography, history and the odd mystery. This is a lovely way to have a different book delivered to your door each month and sometimes a chance for a short visit while passing on the book. At the September meeting we draw for the books from the previous year so each member gets a book to keep. This is also a wonderful value as for the price of one book you can read 9, 10, or 11 books depending on the number of people in the group.
