Join local writers – and avid readers – Cathy and Stephen Wade, for a monthly book appreciation meeting with a difference. 

To celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026, Cathy and Stephen have chosen a theme for each month of the year and will discuss books linked to these. Attendees will then be invited to write something inspired by the discussion. 

April’s session is based around Spring, School and Showers, with featured books from the early and mid-twentieth century and themes of pastoral Edwardian England and art, politics and culture in Edinburgh between the wars.
