New Year, New Stories: January at Words, Wine & Wit
There’s something about January that feels like cracking the spine on a brand‑new book - hopeful, a little fragile and full of possibility. After a chaotic end to last year, I’m easing into 2026 with slower mornings, gentler routines, and a story that’s already tugging at my heart: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell, our first book club pick of the year. And with February’s organised read‑along for Slags just around the corner, it feels like the perfect moment to reconnect, reset, and remind myself why this community means so much.
June’s Read: ‘Intermezzo’ by Sally Rooney
Sally Rooney always sparks conversation, and Intermezzo will be no different. As our June book club pick, it delves into grief, sibling bonds, and self-discovery, guaranteeing a lively discussion at our next meeting.
How We Started
It started with a girl who loved books and a search for connection.
Back in Suffolk after uni, I felt isolated and unsure of my next steps, so in 2017, I started a book club. What began as a small gathering has grown into Words, Wine & Wit, with thriving chapters across Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Hertfordshire.
More than just a space to talk books, it’s become a community where friendships form, conversations flow, and a good glass of wine is never far away.
