Meetings: We meet online using Zoom each month.on the second Tuesday from 4.00pm - 5.30pm.
Selection Process: Each year we choose a different theme (you can get an idea of the themes we have addressed in our Recommendations). When choosing books we check that there is availability from Herts Libraries, an online supplier and on kindle. We have a limit of 500 pages and £13.
We always score the books we read, and over the years have compiled the highest scoring books we have read into our Recommendations list available here: BOOK GROUP'S RECOMMENDATIONS 8.docx
