ARGONAUT BOOKS

Join us for a relaxed chat about a different book every month!

The wildcard book club is about breaking out of your reading comfort zone and trying something new every month. It could be biography, it could be a graphic novel, it could be anything!

Our most ridiculous and poorly organised book club returns! 

This month's theme is horror and our book is 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle' by Shirley Jackson

'Living in the Blackwood family home with only her sister Constance and her Uncle Julian for company, Merricat just wants to preserve their delicate way of life.

But ever since Constance was acquitted of murdering the rest of the family, the world isn't leaving the Blackwoods alone. And when Cousin Charles arrives, armed with overtures of friendship and a desperate need to get into the safe, Merricat must do everything in her power to protect the remaining family. With an afterword by Joyce Carol Oates'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ...'

FAQ

How long does each book club last?

Each book club is an hour and a half, ending around 8.30pm.

Do I have to finish reading the book before coming along?

Ideally, but no! If you can't, or don't want to, finish the book, we still want to hear your thoughts. We will however spoil every aspect of the book during discussion.
