📖 Book of the Month
Aunty Dimity and the Village Witch by Nancy Atherton
A cozy mystery in the charming English village of Finch, Lori Shepherd — with help from the otherworldly Aunt Dimity — unravels a centuries-old tale of a woman branded a witch.🧙♀️🪄🧹
Whether you've finished the book, are still reading, or simply want to join the conversation, you're welcome! Our discussions are relaxed, friendly, and open to everyone.
🎲 Book Bingo + Food & Drinks
We'll start with Book Bingo for the first 30 minutes — a fun way to mingle, chat with fellow readers, and celebrate our anniversary.
You can also order your food and drinks from Jack Sprat during this time, so feel free to grab something to enjoy while we play.
💬 Book Discussion
After Bingo, we'll have our book discussion for approximately 45–60 minutes.
We'll chat about our favorite parts, characters, themes, and anything else the story inspires us to discuss.
📚 Optional: White Elephant Book Swap
To make our anniversary meetup extra special, we're also doing an optional White Elephant Book Swap!
Want to participate? Simply:
- Bring one book you recommend, enjoyed, or would love someone else to discover.
- Wrap it in a simple paper bag, or any basic covering so the title isn't immediately visible.
- Please don't stress about fancy wrapping! A simple covering is absolutely perfect. 😊
- Need help wrapping it? The hosts are happy to help!
We'll explain the simple swap rules at the meetup.
