Book Review Group - September 2026 (includes book swap!)

Hi all,

Welcome to our September book club and our book swap night! We are a friendly group of avid readers that enjoy a variety of books and great conversation, over a meal. New members are welcome, but spaces are limited.

For the book swap, please bring along any books you no longer want on your shelf. We will add them to the centre of the table, and then everyone can choose a book (or 3!) that interests them. Any uncollected books will be donated to Traveller's Aid at Southern Cross Station.

The books for Thursday 17 September 2026 are:

Science Fiction
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein
The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein | Goodreads

Fantasy
The Devils by Joe Abercrombie
The Devils (The Devils, #1) by Joe Abercrombie | Goodreads

Urban Fantasy
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #1) by Matt Dinniman | Goodreads

You don't have to read all the books. However, the more you read, the more robust the conversation will be with multiple people discussing each book. Don't forget to bring along some Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Urban Fantasy suggestions for the following meet-up!

If you would like to see all the books (excluding bonus books) that we have read before, click here to have a look. Since there are so many authors out there, we try not to repeat authors, however, I am relaxing this slightly moving forward. If you are new(ish) to the group, check out the back catalogue for some inspiration if you are stuck for something to read.

Numbers are limited. If you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to a NO as a courtesy to the organiser and to let any wait-listed people into the meet-up.

If you have time, stay back for a social catch up with your fellow book club members (or arrive early to chat prior to the meeting). Of course, you can go as soon as the book club finishes, but if you have time, then this is a great opportunity to find out all the news and what books people have been reading over the last couple of months.

Happy Reading!!! 🤓😊
