Shelf Care Book Club (May '26)

A book club for people who forgot to read the book.

Do you find yourself avoiding book clubs because you haven't read the book that is sat dusty on your nightstand? Or do you find yourself skimming the Sparknotes as you panic walk to the venue?

Shelf Care is a book club based around a theme. Haven't read the book of the month, don't worry, bring something that is vaguely around the theme so you can join in the conversation.

This month's theme: a book you wish you could read again for the first time. Bring a book that fills you with jealousy when someone says they don't know it, a book that you bug your friends to read and stalk their progress, a book that you desperately want to erase from your memory for that first time experience all over again. Maybe its a twist, a wild plot, a loveable character, a scene you didn't expect, or maybe it's just the nostalgia, we want to hear about it.

Tickets £5 - pay on the day and claim your free drink!

Rough plan for the evening:

6:30pm - Doors and drinks

7pm to 8:30pm - The main event, gossiping about books

9pm - Close
