FAQs
We read predominantly fiction titles suitable for a general audience; everything from literary fiction and light fantasy to historical fiction, classics and thrillers, and all the things in between. We include at least two new paperback releases each year and will also feature Welsh authors. We occasionally read a memoir or other narrative non-fiction.
Here's what we read in 2025, to give you an idea:
Jan - Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers
Feb - The Sirens by Emilia Hart
Mar - The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall
April - Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
May - You Are Here by David Nicholls
June - Butter by Asako Yuzuki
July/Aug - Life Impossible by Matt Haig (read over two months for summer)
Sept - The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
Oct - Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney
Nov - Until August by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Dec - The Herd by Emily Edwards
If you join book club prior to the 10th of the month, we will send you the current month's book (e.g. if you order on the 8th of February, you will receive February's book choice, sent asap so that you can join the discussion when it opens on the 15th).
If you join after the 10th of the month, your first book will be NEXT month's choice (e.g. if you order on the 14th April, your first book will be May's choice, which will be dispatched on the 1st of May).
The online discussion takes place in our private Facebook group (therefore you will need a Facebook account to access the discussion).
The discussion takes place asynchronously (i.e. it is not live) and is text-based. Prompts will be posted in the group from the 15th of the month, and you are free to respond to them in your own time. We also encourage you to introduce yourself to the group and respond to points raised by others in the group.
This page is for the online book club ONLY and does not include attendance at an in-person book club. However, the 12-month option includes an invitation to our Book Club Christmas Party, held in Pembrokeshire, if you'd like to meet some of your fellow Book Club crew in person.
We do host a monthly in-person book club in Solva, Pembrokeshire. This is currently full to new members, but if you are interested in joining please drop us an email at thebookstoppembs@hotmail.com and we will add you to the waitlist.
Prior to dispatch each month, we will announce the next month's book. If you already have a copy, you can select an alternative book choice for your shipment that month.
You can do this up to:
- once in a three-month membership
- twice in a six-month membership
- four times in a twelve-month membership.
There will be fixed options for the alternative choices. Please note that if you select an alternative, the discussion will ONLY be for the primary book choice. Alternatives must be requested PRIOR to shipment, no exchanges can be offered once your parcel has left our premises (on the 1st of the month).
No problemo! Drop us a message on Instagram @thebookstoppembs or email us: thebookstoppembs@hotmail.com
