Meetings: We meet online using Zoom at our usual time each month.
Selection Process: When choosing books we have a limit of 500 pages and £13; we check that there is availability from Herts Libraries, an online supplier and on kindle.
We always score the books we read and over the years have compiled the highest scoring books we have read into our Recommendations list:
