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

FEBRUARY BOOK CLUB - White Moss by Anna Nerkagi, with translator Irina Sadovina
Wednesday 11 February, 6.30pm
FREE!
but get in touch to sign up and grab a copy of the book to read ahead...

We're back to fiction in translation for our February book club and are hugely looking forward to reading and discussing White Moss - a stunningly mesmerising multi-voiced drama of lost love and the clash between youthful dreams and the complex ties of home. Playing out in the vast cold expanse of the northern Siberian tundra, this novel about tradition, change, and thwarted desire is a poetic and fiercely moving story of human frailties and minor tragedies.

We're delighted that we'll be joined for book club by the novel's translator, Irina Sadovina.

FANTASY BOOK CLUB - A Language of Dragons by S. F. Williamson

Fantasy book club is back for March - and we’re discussing dragons 🐉 in the form of the YA dark academia fantasy ‘A Language of Dragons’. Taking place in an alternative 1920s Bletchley Park as a civil war rages across Britain, this book has been described as ‘uniquely compelling’ and comparable to the Scholomance trilogy - we all know dragons, dark academia and a clandestine love story are the magic ingredients to a great read!
