Accrington Web - View Single Post - Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

It's great to see so many people enjoying reading, especially when we're constantly being told that we only watch TV and play console games nowadays.

If this is a snapshot of the people of Accrington and surrounding areas, then the interest is definitely there and I'm surprised that there isn't any kind of proper 'book club' in the area. I asked about this a couple of years ago, but there was nothing around at the time. I know they have something of the kind at Blackburn library, but they tend to be during the day times.
I have a few friends who live in Lancaster and a couple of them attend book clubs and really enjoy reading and discussing the latest read. I know Lancaster has a different demographic to Hyndburn, but it still surprises me that an area of the size doesn't have such a group/s.
