Our book group choice for January 2026 is Exhalation by Ted Chiang. Exhalation is a collection of nine speculative fiction stories; rather than a single novel, this book functions as an anthology of distinct narratives, each exploring profound philosophical questions through the lens of science fiction and fantasy.
Our book group choice for December 2025 is Village Christmas by Laurie Lee. For many readers, Laurie Lee is synonymous with the sun-drenched, cider-hazed memories of the Slad Valley immortalised in his classic, Cider with Rosie. But if Cider with Rosie is the golden heat of high summer, Village Christmas is the crisp, woodsmoke-scented chill of midwinter.
