Our discussions around "We need to talk about Kevin" and "The Incidentals" were quite lively. We enjoy exploring books that we might not have chosen for ourselves, but were recommended by members of our group! We are grateful for Patricia from Portswood Library, who helps us get multiple copies of the books, as well as using Amazon too. Unfortunately we are full right now, but if there's ever an opening we'll make sure to post an update.
