The\u00a0Bath Reads\u00a0project invites\u00a0us to get to know books by local authors and start talking to each other about them. Bath Reads kicks off with an invitation to read five titles all by writers who live in or near to Bath.<\/p>\n

Every neighbourhood in Bath and North East Somerset has its own book group. These reading communities are always on the look-out for new books and Bath Reads provides an exciting new talking point for them as we invite them to dive in to one or more of these five new novels from a variety of genres. During The Bath Festival at Home, a series of exclusive interviews will let readers hear\u00a0the authors talk about their work\u00a0and what inspires them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re part of a\u00a0book group<\/strong>, why not choose one of the Bath Reads books and begin the conversation? You can order copies of the books from\u00a0Mr B\u2019s Emporium of Books<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or reserve the titles at your local\u00a0Bath and North East Somerset Library via the Libraries West<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>online booking service. The Bath Festival can also\u00a0provide\u00a0free resources<\/strong>\u00a0for book groups in the form of suggested questions about the books to provoke book club discussions. To find out more, please email\u00a0info@bathfestivals.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
