Join us for our next Thursday book club!

We meet on the second Thursday of each month for a relaxed and friendly conversation about the current book. As our schedule has been pushed back due to author events and other clashes, we’re skipping November and next meeting in December for a final book club of 2026. The usual schedule will resume in 2027!

The bookshop door will be open from 6.50pm for a 7pm start in our atmospheric upstairs space.

Our book club meetings are free to attend, and we offer a 10% discount on each month’s paperback choice.

This Month’s Book

Vulture by Phoebe Greenwood

A novel of honesty, humour and sadness told with great verve — Fergal Keane, author of The Madness

A darkly funny, heart-wrenching satire that tears through the guts of the war news industry

Catch-22 on speed and set in the Middle East, Vulture is a fast-paced satire of the war news industry and its moral blind spots, and a tragi-comic coming-of-age novel.

An ambitious young journalist, Sara is sent to cover a war from the Beach Hotel in Gaza, a global hub with hotel staff catering tirelessly to the needs of the world’s media, even as their own homes and family are under threat. Sara will stop at nothing to prove herself, even if it means bringing disaster upon those around her.

Brave, funny and beautifully written — Martin McDonagh, writer and director

Martha Gelhorn meets Martin Amis — Michael Hodges, writer and journalist
