Sign in to contactBearwood Bookworms (Birmingham)
Book club
Meets at Kings Head Pub on Run by Lynne Norman Library service We meet on a mutually agreed Wednesday once a month, usually at the Kings Head pub in Bearwood, Birmingham. To choose books we normally select a theme (for instance 'Around the World' or 'Decades of the 20th Century') and then each member of the group selects a title to coincide with that theme. We try to restrict the books to under 350 pages (definitely no more than 400) and we also read only fiction. During the two and a half years we have been meeting together we have covered a great many authors and subjects - from George Eliot to John Wyndham and Jeffrey Eugenides to Orham Pamuk. Occasionally we move our meeting venue and go out for a meal as a group (although we always have the official book group meeting beforehand at a coffee house near whichever restaurant is chosen so that people who can't join us for a meal aren't excluded from the discussion). We are always looking for new members. If you're interested in joining us, please drop me an email and tell me what your three favourite books are! We meet at: Hagley Road, Harborne, Birmingham, West midlands, B17 8BJ Accepting new members
