Book Events in and around Wallingford
Coming Up…

Author Lucy Rowland will be reading some stories and signing books.

Our first Book Club at Mollie's Cafe took place in March, and it was lovely to meet some new faces  If you'd like to find out more, or sign up for this session, pop in to the shop or contact us.

All welcome.

Our prompt for this month is TBA.

Bring along a piece of writing linked in some way to the prompt or something that you’re working on that you feel needs a little outside help or feedback.

Classics Book Club will focus on classic and modern classic fiction and non-fiction from around the world.

All books would have less than 350 pages to keep them achievable.

Our books this month are: Passing by Nella Larsen and The Blacker the Berry by Wallace Thurman.  We'll be talking about both books, but you only need to read one!

Pop in to pick up your copy / book your slot and we'll see you there!  

£5 entry redeemable against the book of the month, or a shop voucher for a future purchase if you already have the book.

Cream Teas, Cocktails and Crime anyone?

Further details to come.

Christina Hardyment is the author of the hugely popular Alyce Chaucer mystery series, set in Ewelme. She will be joining us to discuss her new book, Novel Crime Scenes, which explores the landscapes of twenty crime novels in forensic detail. If you'd like to know how a beautiful Georgian house inspired Agatha Christie's Dead Man's Folly, or how a BBC drama inspired Peter May's Lewis Trilogy, this is the evening for you. £8 redeemable against the book.

Join us at The Wallingford Tearoom for a delicious cream tea and chat with CWA award-winning crime author Holly Watt about her electrifying new psychological thriller, The Good Listener.

Perfectly plotted, with more twists than a pretzel and just the right amount of red herrings, this is a feast of a novel - Holly really is a mistress of the craft.

Tickets are £28.50 per person, which includes a cream tea and a signed and dedicated copy of The Good Listener.

Next month, we are reading London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe.

The premise of Cookbook Club is simple. We come together on the first Tuesday of every month to enjoy a meal cooked from a favourite cookbook, discuss recipes and ideas and have a glass (or two) of something fitting. Tickets are limited.

Our cookbook for this month is How to eat a peach by Diana Henry.

Come along to the shop at 6.30pm if you'd like to discuss the book and swap recipes with the other guests, before heading across to Five Little Pigs for Aimee's take on the recipes and a fabulous two course dinner from the book.

Email the Pigs to book your ticket at littlepigsltd@gmail.com

A book club where you could choose to read your own book!

Come along, chat about the books you're currently reading for 15 minutes or so (or just listen to the discussion - no participation necessary) then read quietly for 45 - 50 minutes in the company of like-minded bibliophiles.

£5 entry, redeemable against your next read

You bring a blanket / cushion and we'll provide the herbal tea and biscuits!

​Please get in touch if interested.
