Question 1

Do I have to finish the book to attend?

Accepted Answer

Not really. Our book pick is based on the most popular reads from The New York Times. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join.

Question 2

How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?

Accepted Answer

The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar.

Question 3

Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you.

Question 4

Is this group open to everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is a friendly and inclusive group that welcomes everyone - regardless of gender, sexuality, background, or political beliefs. In the past, our attendees included not only London residents, but also book lovers who even traveled from France, the USA, and many other parts of the world.

Question 5

What if I'm shy about speaking in front of the group?

Accepted Answer

No pressure! You're welcome to participate in the way that feels most comfortable for you. Whether you share your views or just listen, your presence is valued.
