We meet in member's homes, taking it in turn to host each meeting wherever possible. We choose our books together by making suggestions at a group meeting and online using WhatsApp. We are mindful of choosing books that are available in paperback or on used book websites to reduce costs.
We also take turns in leading the meeting with some background about the author or other relevant material.
Books that have been selected for the group in 2025 include:
| Book Title | Author | Month |
