Just a booklub. (October meetup)

Hey Booklub.

This month we're going back to our Book Club home (the library in The Grasshopper) for a cosy halloween bookish meetup!

It woud have been a crime not to read something suitably spooky this month so I'm really glad that the Instagram fam chose 'Kala' by Colin Walsh...

In the seaside town of Kinlough, on Ireland’s west coast, three old friends are thrown together for the first time in years. They – Helen, Joe and Mush – were part of an original group of six inseparable teenagers in the summer of 2003, with motherless, reckless Kala Lanann as their group’s white-hot centre. Soon after that summer’s peak, Kala disappeared without a trace.

Now it’s fifteen years later. Human remains have been discovered in the woods. Two more girls have gone missing. As past and present begin to collide, the estranged friends are forced to confront their own complicity in the events that led to Kala’s disappearance, and to try to stop Kinlough’s violent patterns repeating themselves once again…

Against the backdrop of a town suffocating on its own secrets, in a story that builds from a smoulder to a stunning climax, Kala brilliantly examines the sometimes brutal costs of belonging, as well as the battle in the human heart between vengeance and forgiveness, despair and redemption.

Grab your copy, get stuck in, grab yourself a ticket and we'll see you in the pub!

About booklub.

Hey there! Welcome to 'booklub' 📚
I speak to so many people who love to read (when they can) and who love to talk about books but never seem able to find a the right book club.
Crappy location, niche subject matter or impractical club rules tend to put them off.
With that in mind 'booklub' is for you if you'd dig...
📗 A cosy, informal and welcoming space to chat about books (or just chat about your week and make bookish pals)
📘 Cosy pub locations that don't require you to host where you can chat/eat/drink or none of the above.
📙 Zero commitment or guilt trips if you don't finish the book or turn up every month.
I hope to see you at the next meet my bookish friend!
