Time to join a book group?

By Book Club on May 24, 09 08:46 AM

If you are enjoying the books we are covering online, it might be time to get involved in a real-life book group. New Writing North Book Groups take place across the region and it's incredibly easy to join- read the book, turn up and get talking! All groups are informal and fun, the perfect combination of drinks, laughs, a bit of book discussion and the odd visit from an author. It would be great to see you there...
