We're thrilled to announce that Readings Carlton will be running a book club, starting in March 2025!

Hidden Treasures fiction book club with Joanna

Do you ever worry that you might be missing out on something as you rush to read what everyone else is reading? Would you like to slow down the pace and have an experienced bookseller lead you carefully down the fiction aisle then place a unique pile of hidden treasures in your hands?
If you’re keen to abandon the pressure of keeping up, and want to make new discoveries, challenge yourself, and have some fun with other curious readers, this book club is for you.

The Hidden Treasures fiction book club will run from March to October 2025. The club will meet at Readings Carlton and is intended for adults, ages 18+.

There will be four group options, to work with your schedule:

Group 1: Meets on the first Monday of each month, at 6:30-7:30pm.
Group 2: Meets on the first Thursday of each month, at 10-11am.
Group 3: Meets on the third Monday of each month, at 6:30-7:30pm.
Group 4: Meets on the third Thursday of each month, at 10-11am.

An upfront payment of $400 is required to secure a place in your meeting time of choice and covers the cost of all eight books as well as drinks and nibbles – coffee and morning tea for the morning meetings, wine and cheese for the evening meetings.

For more information and to register your interest please email Joanna at [email protected]. Spots will be limited.
If you miss out on a place your details will be added to a waitlist.
