| When: | Monthly on Thursday afternoons 2:30 pm We meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month, to discuss the listed book - so aim to have read it by then ! |
| Venue: | Solihull Core Theatre Cafe |

The Arden Reading for Pleasure Group meets on the second Thursday of each month at 2.30pm in the Cafe area of 'The Core' at Solihull Library Theatre. We enjoy sharing our love of reading across a diverse range of books and genres. Meetings comprise an informal, wide-ranging discussion of the current book, always followed by a cuppa and chat.
The books are chosen from members' interests and recommendations from different sources. We borrow the books from local libraries or might purchase second-hand copies from national online sellers or charity shops.
This terms books - Remember to aim to have read them in time for the meeting....
