October book club
Flashlight by Susan Choi.
We’ll be discussing Flashlight, shortlisted for the 2026 Women’s Prize for Fiction and highly recommended by our members.
Or bring along and share a book by a woman author that was banned or burned. We’d love to explore some hidden gems! Here’s a list of banned books to get you started. Or go one further and explore books from countries whose citizens have been banned from entering the USA.
Everyone is welcome to join the discussion even if you’d just like to come along and learn more.
The October book club will be held at 4:30pm on Saturday 17 October at The Women’s Library. All welcome.
The Women Authors Book Club brings together passionate readers who share a love of literature written by women. The group meets on the third Saturday of the month at The Women’s Library in Newtown. Come along to enjoy the discussion and share recommendations with other book club members.
Our aim at the Women Authors Book Club is to enjoy a discussion about books, writing and women in literature. Some months we have a set book, on other occasions we discuss whatever you’re reading: any book, any genre – as long as the author is a woman.
New book club members are always welcome to join us for relaxed and enjoyable evenings of conversation about books and their authors. There is no formal joining process for the Women Authors Book Club. Simply come to the library at 4:30 pm on the third Saturday and enjoy the discussion.
