Book Chat – February 2022

It’s lovely to have events back up and running in our library branches, and our ‘Book Chat’ sessions are proving to be popular. Book Chat is the opportunity to engage with other community members and discuss what you are currently reading, what’s next on your To Be Read list, and the books you love. It’s similar to a book club without the pressure of reading a specific title.   

We thought we would share some of the recommendations from our February Chat sessions –
