At the end of the summer, join Nicola and other readers to discuss the stories and their styles, and to vote for Best Summer Read 2026.
This 22nd edition of our Summer Reading Group will meet on Sunday 6th September 2026 from 15:00 to 17:15 in Brussels (location will be shared with participants closer to date).
Admission is free, but places are limited so reserve your seat in advance. Since we will meet in a public place, the purchase of something to drink and/or eat is, of course, expected.
Condition: To attend the discussion, you must have read AND finished the 4 books.
