The Sotonettes Book Club is for Sotonettes members and our invited guests and normally meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 7pm – 9pm (except during December).
Our Book Club has a general ‘female’ theme such as female authors and leading characters, and we are always open to suggestions! We plan on mixing things up a bit, from classics to contemporary, across a range of genres.
We don’t mind if you haven’t finished the book, seen a film version, or are just curious to find out more.
If you have any questions then you can drop a message to Penny by emailing her at sotonettes@gmail.com
