Description
Books and Bants is a book club for busy people. There is no need to read anything in advance. We will have some books around for inspiration. You might just want to chat about what's on your to-read list.
January's Books and Bants theme is BookTok books.
This might be:
- 'BookTok made me do it' books.
- Authors you discovered through BookTok.
- Books you would recommend on BookTok.
- Anything else this theme means to you.
Books and Bants runs throughout the academic year both in person and online. If this session isn't for you, we have lots more dates and themes coming up.
