2021 Book Club

Our book club has been running for over 8 years and provides an annual reading list for people to enjoy and share their reviews via our website.

Authors on our reading list have included Quentin Letts, Louis de Bernieres, Sebastian Faulks, Donato Carrisi, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Hilary Mantel, Sue Townsend and Robert Harris.

In addition to our reading list we also produce a bi-monthly culture e-newsletter and last year we launched our first monthly Zoom book groups (where book group members can get together via video conference and share their views on a book).

You can see the books picked by our Zoom book groups below and can post your own review on any of the titles by selecting the relevant book.

Leaving a Review

To leave a review is easy. Select the book you wish to review and scroll to down to the 'Leave a Comment' box. Type your comment in the box and then you will be asked to register to leave a comment. All you need to do is add your name and email address (and if you wanted to give permission for future contact by email, phone, SMS or post you can do - but you are under no obligation to consent to this). Once you've added your details your comment/review will be sent through for approval. Once approved your review will appear live on the website. You can also select the 'notify me when a comment is made' box which will mean when someone does leave a comment you will be notified.

If you're interested in signing up, it's easy, just email your details to: [email protected]  or give us a ring on 020 8691 7411.
