SUMMARY:Little Bookworms October
DESCRIPTION:Have you got a little bookworm in your life? Then look no further than House of Books & Friends. We are excited to invite you to Little Bookworms\, our monthly book club for 8-12 years. The book club runs the first Sunday of every month\, 11am-12pm. \nFor October\, we will be reading The Boy with the Big Decisions by Helen Rutter. You have until the day of the book club to finish the title – this is available to buy as part of your ticket\, or you can purchase a ticket only. \nAs well as discussing the book\, there will be book-related activities each month for our Little Bookworms to get stuck into\, fun quizzes and games\, and squash and biscuits for all. Our Little Bookworms will also get their own book lovers passport to add to each month they attend as they jet set around the world through reading. \nAll sessions will be ticketed: £7.99 for the book and ticket\, and £2 for just the ticket. All little ones must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets can be purchased on our website and in store. A limited number of complementary tickets will also be reserved for those who might need them so please do let us know. \nIf you have any questions about the book club or tickets\, you can always take a look at our website\, email us\, or ask a friendly bookseller in store. \nAbout the book \nFred can’t make a decision about anything – his parents always tell him what to do\, from what to eat every day to which secondary school to choose. That’s how Fred has found himself a pupil at the high-pressure\, strict Gains School\, when he’d much rather be going to Browtree\, with its brilliant art department and kind teachers. \nAs Fred waits for the bus to his new school\, he sees the bus for Browtree pull up – and a wild\, thrilling\, thought strikes him. \nShould he jump on this bus and pretend he’s a new student at Browtree? \nWill he be brave enough to follow a different path for once? \nYou\, the reader\, will stand in Fred’s shoes and make decisions alongside him throughout this story. \nYou’ll help him stand-up for what he believes in\, learn what he truly loves to do\, make good friends and face choices about whether to swerve or walk into drama. \nYOU are in charge of The Boy With Big Decisions!

She took time off in her first year at university and can’t afford to do the same this year if she’s going to achieve her dream of being an astrophysicist. She’s managed to keep it a secret from her friends – fearing that they won’t want to spend time with her if they see her at her lowest – but it’s getting harder. Especially when she meets Nell. \nNell – wannabe poet\, autistic and proud\, and lover of autumn and winter – is determined to show Saffron everything these seasons have to offer. The two grow close\, and when Saffron confides in Nell\, romance blooms. But with Saffron struggling to keep a lid on her mental health and Nell figuring out her own sexual identity\, things soon spiral out of control. \nA dual-perspective sapphic rom-com perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alice Oseman. \nAbout Zoe \nAnna Zoe Quirke is a queer and autistic author\, librarian\, and freelance writer from the North of England. They’ve written books\, scripts\, poetry (and much more). Their novel ‘Something to be Proud of’ won the Northern Writers’ Award for Debut YA Fiction in 2022\, was shortlisted for the PFD Queer Fiction Prize\, was published with Little Tiger in June 2024\, and was nominated for a Carnegie Award in 2025.

SUMMARY:Feminist Book Club with Kate Feld - October
DESCRIPTION:House of Books & Friends are delighted to announce that we are hosting the Feminist Book Club with facilitator Kate Feld. Taking place monthly\, this will be a space for people of all genders to discuss feminist books. In October\, we will be reading Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector\, a genre-blurring and formally audacious novel translated by Benjamin Moser. \nTickets \nBook and ticket \nTicket only \nAs always\, there are a limited amount of complimentary tickets available for those who need them. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.pro or call 07597 365380. \nAbout the book \nLispector’s final novel is among her best — a haunting exploration of innocence\, femininity\, illness\, and identity-slippage. The Hour of the Star follows Macabéa\, a typist living in the slums of Rio whose grasp on reality is confused and oblique. Yet\, as our narrator Rodrigo S.M. comes to realize\, Macabéa’s tenuous existence also affords her an inner freedom. Publisher’s Weekly has called Lispector a ‘literary magician’\, and this novel certainly contains enough wonder\, will\, and beauty to merit that description.

SUMMARY:AUTHOR EVENT: Park Seolyeon with Anton Hur 'Capitalists Must Starve'
