Book Circle

Do you like reading books? We have a Book Circle which meets about every 6 weeks or so. Very informal, usually with a meal too! Books and dates planned are below. We score books - quite a challenge when so many different views around the table! But good to have the debate.

Next meeting 7.30pm at the Gate, Northwood: 
April 10th -  Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
May 15th - The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
