Open Door Book Group
A book group with a difference - in person or on-line!
“The book club is great for chatting about books we've read, it's not highbrow or taxing, but friendly and welcoming.”
“Books are a welcome escape for me and I love the chance to discuss them on-line in a friendly and relaxed way”
There are four opportunities each month to join our active book group for a friendly and lively hour-long discussion!
We meet during the last full week of every month:
📗 Last Tuesday of the month, 1:45 PM - In person at Open Door
📗 Last Wednesday of the month, 11:00 AM - In person at Open Door
📘 Last Wednesday of the month, 2:00 PM - On Zoom
📘 Last Thursday of the month, 7:30 PM - On Zoom
Please see below for exact dates in case of any variances.
We read popular fiction, all types, often best sellers. All our books can be borrowed by book group members at Berkhamsted library.
We also have optional coffee mornings / afternoon teas at the café at Open Door on Saturdays for our members to catch up with each other.
What are we reading?

Email Jane Ellen at [email protected] for further details on how to join the group (it's free to everyone) and to register your place. Wednesday in person sessions must be booked in advance each month due to there only being 6 spaces. Jane can also provide details about the books and information on using Zoom, if needed.
