BOOK CLUB & SOCIAL CLUB - monthly; get in touch to book your space

Each month we run a book club, bringing authors, writers, and translators along to join the discussion. We also have a monthly social club - a place for you to come, alone or with friends, and chat about some of our (and your!) favourite books and drink some wine (or beer or coffee or softs or tea!) and create a wonderful social reading community.

To secure a place at our next book club or social club, and to get copies of next month's reads, please pop into the shop, message on Instagram, or email us at hello@collectedbooks.co.uk


NOVEMBER BOOK CLUB - Wednesday 19 November, 7.30pm
Girls to the Front with Lucy Nichol

‘A punchy, grunge-era feminist revenge thriller, this is Lucy Nichol at her darkest and absolute best. I was gripped by every page.’ Adam Farrer, author of Broken Biscuits and Other Male Failures

Girls to the Front is a found-footage feminist revenge thriller set against the backdrop of the 90’s alternative music scene from the writer of The Twenty Seven Club, No Worries If Not!, Parklife and When Sally Killed Harry.

She’s with the band. She wants them dead. A dead body. A woman with blood on her hands. Will footage on an old videotape and some dark magic uncover the truth?

When Roma finds an old VHS tape in a house clearance box, she’s drawn into a deadly crime that took place over 30 years ago. Roma’s discoveries lead her towards a rock band with a bad reputation – and a meeting with a mysterious woman named Kat. But are the crimes on the tape really confined to the past?
