February 2026: Romance Join local writers β and avid readers β Cathy and Stephen Wade, for a monthly book appreciation meeting with a difference.
To celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026, Cathy and Stephen have chosen a theme for each month of the year and will discuss books linked to these. Attendees will then be invited to write something inspired by the discussion.
Februaryβs session is based around Romance, with featured books from the 1930s and 2000s, and themes of interwar suburban boredom, murder and enduring friendship, plus a brief history of Mills & Boon.
