Our diamanté coaster projects at Let's Get Crafting are really starting to sparkle ✨💎

Over the past few weeks it's been wonderful to watch everyone's creations come to life, with each design reflecting its maker's own style and creativity.

As always, our sessions have been filled with crafting, chatting, laughter, and plenty of cups of tea ☕❤️

We've put together this little reel to share some of our progress so far. We're not quite finished yet, but we couldn't resist showing off some of the beautiful work taking shape. We can't wait to see all the finished coasters sparkling in the weeks ahead!

The votes are in and our next book club read is It Should Have Been You by Andrea Mara 📚✨

We're excited to be revisiting an author we've enjoyed before, and can't wait to see what twists, turns, and talking points this latest thriller has in store for us.

If it's anything like the last Andrea Mara book we read, we're expecting plenty of suspense, lots of theories, and a lively discussion when we meet again!

Happy reading everyone 📖☕️

The Page Turners latest read was Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall, and it was a huge hit with the group 📚✨

The story sparked lots of discussion, with one question dividing the room in particular: Team Frank or Team Gabriel? ❤️🤔

As if that wasn't enough to debate, we also had great fun creating our own dream cast for the main characters after hearing that the book is being adapted for the big screen 🎬🍿

Whether our casting choices make the final cut or not, we'll definitely be heading to the cinema to see it when it's released!

The Page Turners latest book club pick was The Appeal — and it definitely sparked opinions. The clever email-and-text format had us playing detective all evening, with plenty of theories, disagreements, and plot twists to unpack. One of our most lively discussions yet 📚✨

Our book club The Page Turners have started reading "The Appeal". This is a little different to what they are used to reading. I'm sure the next meeting will create some good conversations and theories. Thank you to West Dunbartonshire Libraries for supporting us and proving these books.
