About us
''No furniture is so charming as books.''-S.Smith
This group is for people of all ages who love books. We'll be holding monthly meetups, where we'll have different discussion topics ; it might be a book, a series of short stories, a collection of poems or you get the chance to introduce and present a book.
The great variety of genres and styles makes it difficult to choose books to match everyone's preferences, however we'll try to combine different approaches.

Discover The Poetry Pharmacy — Let’s Talk Poems
Oxford Circus tube, Oxford Street, W1B 3AG, London, GBJoin us for a slightly different kind of meetup.
We’ll start at The Poetry Pharmacy in central London, a unique café and bookshop devoted entirely to poetry. It’s a beautifully curated space where poems are “prescribed” for different moods and moments, and it’s worth visiting for the atmosphere alone.
After browsing, we’ll head to a nearby café to discuss a few of the poems that stood out from this book:
The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried-and-True Prescriptions for the Heart, Mind and Soul- by William SieghartDon’t worry if you haven’t read the poems in advance — you can absolutely still come. Many of the poems are well-known and accessible, and we can read short pieces together. The discussion will be informal and pressure-free, whether you prefer to share or simply listen.
It’s less about analysis and more about reflection and conversation — and a relaxed way to meet thoughtful new people.Read a poem. Share a thought. Leave with a connection.
