BookBar is all about bringing people together through books. We know that half the fun of reading a book is discussing it with fellow readers afterwards over a glass of wine or cup of coffee.
BookBar's BookClub is created especially for that purpose. So we launched our virtual book club, which promises all the fun of the real thing, and some additional surprises. Receive a paperback book, watch a virtual interview with the author, and meet other members to discuss it each month.

This Month's bookclub
April: Seascraper with Benjamin Wood
Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach to scrape for shrimp; spending the rest of the day selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and scum, pining for Joan Wyeth down the street and rehearsing songs on his guitar. At heart, he is a folk musician, but it remains a private dream.
When a striking visitor turns up, bringing the promise of Hollywood glamour, Thomas is shaken from the drudgery of his days and begins to see a different future. But how much of what the American claims is true, and how far can his inspiration carry Thomas?
Read a paperback copy of Seascraper, listen to a virtual author talk, and meet with other BookClub members to discuss the book.
