Sir Hans Sloane Centre

November's meeting will be at 7.30pm on Thursday 19th at the Sir Hans Sloane Centre.

Our book this month is The Labyrinth by Kate Mosse - its a big one so best to order soon!
Please do come along even if you haven't read the book - generally at least one of us hasn't but there's still things you can comment on and join in with the general discussion!

October's book was The Benefactors by Wendy Erskine. - it was awarded an average score of 6/10.

Hope to see as many members (old and new) as possible! Donna
