About this Event
The Next Chapter is a London-based book club centred around Black romance, soft reads, and intentional community.
Join us for our very first meet-up for an evening of good conversation, new faces, and snacks to keep us going. Whether you’re an avid reader or easing back into books, you’re welcome here.
We’ll be discussing our January/February book Only For The Week by Natasha Bishop, sharing thoughts, and getting to know the community. No pressure, no perfect answers — just connection and a love for stories.
