"Books can be dangerous.
The best ones should be labelled
‘This could change your life.’" – Helen Exley
Join us for Books N Banter, our monthly book club, which meets on the 1st Monday of each month at 7pm at The Live & Let Live, Stanway, Colchester.
At each meeting, we’ll review the previous month’s book, followed by a fun quiz with a prize for the winner! Afterward, we’ll have a sneak peek at the book for the upcoming month.
You’re also welcome to bring along any books you’ve read and no longer need to swap, lend, or give away. You might even find something new to take home!
Our next meet-up is on Monday, 7th April 2025, at 7pm – we look forward to seeing you there!
Please note there is a £1 per event contribution to admin charge, this can be paid either by cash or card payment.
Thank you for your support - Rebecca
