For our next edition of the thursday book club, we are celebrating World Book Day with the return of our most popular format: the silent book club. We invite everyone to start with a quiet reading session, where you’re invited to join us and read individually at your leisure with a wine, cocktail or tea. After the reading session, we’ll segue into an optional group discussion where we can each share a little bit about the book we’re currently reading. All genres of books are welcome for discussion!
Date: 25 April
Time: 7 - 9 pm
Venue: Hjem, 161 Hollywood Road
Each ticket includes 1 drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Additional food and beverages will be available for purchase.
