This can be an excellent way to enjoy books more and challenge your mind. It can also encourage you to read more, or to read books that you wouldn’t normally choose.
It’s all about reading a variety of books, making friends, having fun, meeting like minded people and stimulating the brain cells!

2026 Reads

June

This month we have been reading "The Enigma of Room 622" by Joel Dicker. It is a weighty tome of 560 pages, however, each page is essential to the intricate plot or plots. At the end of the book, we realise it has all been a game of smoke and mirrors. The events inhabit a world which is both fictional and non- fictional. A complicated novel by a great storyteller, which is well worth a read. There
