I read a lot of Fantasy, high fantasy and sci-fi books including authors such as Sarah j Maas and Scarlett St Claire but I do also love a good Stephen king book. Need some peeps to go book shopping with and find a cute cafe. We meet every 7 - 9 weeks and there is a small charge per person to cover room hire.
New members are always welcome! The Stratford Literary Festival has launched Books with Friends, a monthly book group and phone book group for over 55s especially created for people who might find themselves lonely and isolated for any reason.
We also choose books that are available free of charge from RNIB libraries. People who are house-bound can also participate in Books with Friends via a monthly free conference call, which will be lead by a group host. The first book group took place at 11am on Thursday 26th February and anyone interested in coming along should call or email gail stratfordliteraryfestival.
All selected books will be readily available at the library. New members actively sought. We have lots of fun chatting about books, playing games and making crafts. You don't have to do any homework or write a learned review, just come along for an informal chat about why you loved or hated your latest read. There's no pressure to contribute, but everyone has the chance to do so. The group usually discuss books on a theme or by a chosen author.
The group meets at The Core, which houses a Theatre and Cafe as well as the library, and is situated next to the Touchwood shopping centre. If you're interested, contact us for more information. They are currently looking for new members. This children's reading group meets at the Atherstone Library on the last Tuesday of every month and is limited to 15 participants with a waiting list for admission.
