What we’re about
This a group for anyone for loves reading and enjoys nothing better than to chat about books over drinks or a meal.We meet up once a month always on a Sunday.
We don't talk about a specific book.We pick a different topic for each meeting and use that as a starting point. For example we've talked about favourite books, favourite authors , books that have been disappointing and hot water bottle reads,crime,biographies,books written in a specific decade or set in particular country and many other topics.
So if you spend far too much time on www.goodreads.com this could well be a group you'd enjoy.
We're a friendly group so don't feel nervous about coming along for the first time, book lovers always have plenty to chat about!
Some serious points:
Please if you have previously RSVP'd yes to meetup and then can't make it,make sure you change your status to not attending. This allows someone on the waitlist the chance to attend.Also if you can't make it on on the day please let me know-it's the polite thing to do.Also I always book a table at the restaurant in advance and I like to let them know ASAP if there is a change in numbers.I realise things can happen at the last minute but please let me know.
If someone has two no shows(ie just not turning up without letting me know) I will remove them from the group as it is disrespectful to me and the other members of the group.
This is a great site for second hand books.They post very cheaply to NZ and money from each purchase goes to literacy charities
