Resources for Reading Groups

Reading Group Events

 

 

If you are thinking of starting a reading group, or want to add even more interest and variety to your existing group, you may be interested in our occasional events, such as author visits and private shopping evenings.

We also get involved in events to celebrate World Book Day and National Poetry Day, among other national and international celebrations.

Why not join our mailing list and be among the first to be notified of these events?

Local Authors

At The Bookcase we have contact with many local authors. If your group would like an author visit please do get in touch and we can try to arrange that for you.

Reading Group Days

The annual Reading Group Day, which was a regular feature at our former summer book festival, to our delight became the inspiration for National Reading Group Day, now run by The Reading Agency and supported by libraries and bookshops around the UK as part of Independant Bookshop Week every June. Although we have ceased to hold a book festival in the old format, we’ll still be hosting a Reading Group Day as part of Independent Bookshop Week.  If you would like to know more about this please contact us.

Authors we have welcomed in the past include Joanna Trollope, Janet Ellis, Diane Setterfield and Sarah Ward and the sessions have always been enjoyed by everyone there.

 

 

 

 

What to read?

For groups looking for inspiration when choosing new titles we offer Booktime, a free monthly magazine which gives reviews of new books and interviews with authors which should help inform your future choices.

And – if you have read something amazing, do tell us about it we can share your recommendations with other groups.

Have a look here to see some of those recommendations.
