Description
Our Book Clubs run throughout the academic year and link to the history months. Pick a book to read that relates to the history month. We have suggested 8 titles for each Book Club but you can choose anything that interests you. Our Book Clubs will take place over lunchtime and we will discuss the books we've read and topics covered. There is no obligation to speak in the group if you do not want to - come along for the company and conversation!
