We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.
- Ursula K. Le Guin (USA, born 1929)
Nicola’s Book Club has been running since February 2005 and is organised by season with a selection of 5 books by both men and women writers from each of the 5 continents (Africa & the Caribbean, Asia & the Pacific, Europe & the Middle East, North America, South America).
Since the summer of 2005, Nicola has organised a Summer Reading Group as a continuation of the Book Club during July and August. It offers readers a selection of recently published books from around the world either to take on holidays with you or else to allow you an alternative way to travel the world through stories!
Due to the success of the Book Club and the Summer Reading Group, Nicola started another reading group at the end of 2006, which runs annually from October to June. Each year, the Creative Reading Group focuses on a region of the world. The books selected are mostly fiction and include both men and women writers from the chosen region.
