Books 'R' Us started in October 2018 and met at Pen y Pound until the start of the pandemic. We continued online, initially exchanging views by email, then by meeting on Zoom and more recently on Google Meet. For the time being, the group has expressed a preference for continuing on Google Meet. Members are canvassed to propose books for future reads. These are then compiled into a questionnaire in Google Forms, which allows each member to 'vote' anonymously on each title. Ideas for future reads are welcomed at any time, the only proviso being that they must be available as paperbacks, on Kindle and as an audiobook, which allows members to source the format that suits them best.
A list of books reviewed from November 2018 is available on request.
