A Book Club started in May 2021 by Emily (@emalemonpie) who after 6 months of sobriety during a UK lockdown and was worried the opening of bars and clubs would send her back to old habits, living in a busy seaside town known for its party scene and after rekindling her love for books she wanted to create a space away from the crowds outside where she could share her love for literature with a community of other people she felt safe with. The goal is to bring people - of all genders - together who share a love of literature and have an interest in sobriety and to create a safe space away from our alcohol and drug-fuelled cultures where we can explore stories and chat about the thing that connects us as humans; our desire to be heard and understood. Each month a new book is decided and we get together via zoom on the last Sunday of the month at 5pm UK time and 9am PST. We have been lucky enough to have some wonderful authors join in on the meeting, Lisa Smith being one of them, so come along, make some new friends and share your love of reading!
