The Catapult Book Club

"Tell me more about the Catapult Book Club!"

  • Our book club meets once a month in the shop on the 2nd Thursday evening at 7pm.
  • Selections are always fiction titles in paperback. Mostly pretty new, sometimes older gems worth revisiting, usually novels, but sometimes short stories. Almost always hand-selected by Seth, so all gripes can be directed at him.
  • Meetings are open to all, whether you've read the book selection or not, whether you loved it or hated it. Discussions are free & easy, but we do talk about the book, rather than other off-topics. 
  • All selections are 20% off for the month before the discussion.

Here lie all the previous selections of the Catapult Book Club, in no particular order - est'd July 2018.
