Open Door Book Group
A book group with a difference! On-line or in-person!
“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 three opportunities each month to join our active book group for a friendly and lively hour-long discussion!
We meet during the last week of every month:
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.
Here’s what’s coming up:
Email Jane Ellen at fredcharliej@gmail.com for further details on how to join the group (it's free to everyone) and to register your place. Jane can also provide details about the books and information on using Zoom.
