FREE History, Art, Mystery "H.A.M." BookClub for Ladies

Our small ladies social BookClub meets on a MONDAY once a month in the historic Queensland village of Eumundi.

Gathering at the Berkelouw Bookstore we then can relocate to a nearby cafe to share our experiences and joy of reading/and or listening to a selected book, on the topic of either a History, Art or Mystery.

Designed as a low pressure, super friendly small reading group we focus on learning and sharing our connections made through the journey and joy of reading.

To kick off we will aim to read once every two months a new book.

'Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs', by Camilla Townsend.

This historical book traces the origins and development of the Aztec civilization. It reveals the compelling story of the Aztecs through the eyes of its own people and unveils many interesting insights into their culture, religion, and politics."
