Book Clubs

The Readings Contemporary Book Club, Carlton 2012

The Readings Contemporary Book Club will read and discuss contemporary fiction – generally new release books or books released within the last year, with a balance of both Australian and international fiction. The meetings are held at the Readings Office in Drummond Street, Carlton from 6.30 – 8.00pm in the second week of each month.

The first Readings Book Club book for 2012 will be Steven Amsterdam’s What the Family Needed and it will be discussed at the first meeting in March.

We currently have vacancies for 2012 and the year is split into two terms of five sessions per term.

First Term
March – July 2012

Second Term
August – December 2012

Cost: $250.00 per member for five facilitated sessions, wine and snacks.

The cost includes a $150 Readings gift card for use to purchase books. Membership of a Readings Book Club will also entitle you to a discount of 20% off the recommended retail price of all full-priced fiction books at any Readings shop (except online) in 2012 on presentation of your Book Club Membership Card.
