What we’re about
We are the sister group of Sydney Central Book Corner, established 2006 which meets monthly in the Sydney CBD. This subgroup was established in 2020.
Meetings currently occur by zoom Saturday 8pm (AEDT observed in NSW/VIC/TAS/ACT) approx every 6-8 weeks to discuss this month's book, chat about other books we've read or a worthy streamed TV series.
Most members are 30-55 years and enjoy reading a variety of books, including fiction, non-fiction and book-to-film adaptions. The group jointly selects books to read every 3-6 months.
Upcoming book discussions from August 2025 include:
* God Forgets About the Poor by Peter Polites (2023)
* It Ends With Us by Collen Hoover (2016)
* Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert MacFarlane (2020)
* Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood (2023)
Past online book discussions have included:
* Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
* Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
* Any Ordinary Day by Leigh Sales
* The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
* Every Version of You by Grace Chen
* Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover (2018).
To keep members costs down, we generally favour books readily available in public libraries or second hand bookshops. Though we do read new releases if they come highly recommended.

Your first two meetings with our group are fee-free. To join subsequent meetings a fee will be charged (approx. $5 per meeting).
A key philosophy of Book Corner is to share the cost of running our group.
