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


JANUARY SOCIAL CLUB!
Get in touch to get your name on the list...
The Trunk by Kim Ryeo-ryeong
Thursday 9 January, 7-9pm

Well, social club saw 2024 out in style with a great bit of classic Christmas crime in the shape of Elizabeth Anthony's lost novel, Dramatic Murder, and now we're gearing up for the new year with the English language debut from Kim Ryeo-ryeong. With a Netflix adaptation just out too, The Trunk is an edgy feminist satire perfect for fans of Convenience Store WomanYellowface and the books of Kazuo Ishiguro, ready for you both to read and watch while you wade through the turkey curry.... We hope that comparisons like that, as well as having a super recent small screen adaptation available, is going to make for some great conversation 📺

Reading the book is strongly encouraged before you attend so you can get the maximum juicy discussion - there won't be any holding back to avoid spoilers!

As ever, we'll have an exclusive shopping deal on the night to make January that little bit brighter for social clubbers - more info nearer the time. For now, email to hello@collectedbooks.co.uk or message on Instagram to get your name on the list and bag a copy of the book!
