The nature of choosing books and where we hold our meetings changed after Covid. We no longer meet in members houses but instead hire the Martlesham Pavilion for which we collect a fee of £10 every term

Most members did not wish to purchase books so as group leader I investigate the Suffolk Library site and choose books that have the number of copies available for our group to read. As you can imagine this results in fairly random "Picks," giving a chance to try new authors. Also, in the more general part of our  "Natter" members often recommend books they may have read and offer to swap/loan them to other members of the group.  The topics cover different genres and include the occasional non-fiction as well as the more usual fiction novels.Examples of books read recently include  -

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore;  A Fortunate Woman - A country Doctors Story by Poly Moreland; Fools and Mortals by Bernard Cornwell; Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben.

Some focus is provided for discussion. The week before the meeting a reminder is sent out asking members if they will/willnot be able to attend along with thoughts for disscusion. 

New members are always welcome, and there's no pressure to be an expert—just bring your love of reading and enjoy sharing ideas with others.
