LBC 2024!
We’ve been reading together across Leeds for over a decade now (meep) and have kept going despite the ‘all this’ of it all.
From 2023, we have been alternating between different ways to meet up – to accommodate as many of ours book clubbers as possible.
LBC 3 Reads will continue to run every two months, via Zoom.
LBC Horsforth will alternate between In Person and Zoom calls, on a monthly rotation.
LBC White Swan will be back to meeting up In Person.
Regarding our Zoom sessions – it’s practically the same as IRL. Delightful friendly people, zany weird tangents…though much more ‘you’re muted’ than before.
If you’d like to join in, please let me know via leedsbookclub @gmail .com or comment on the blog 🙂
