On-Air Book Group
Presented by Helen Ottaway, Karen Stewart and Sheila Hedges – every 4th Friday at 2pm.
There are over 30 reading groups in Frome – we are a town that likes reading and discussing! The FromeFM group will talk, if not about the book itself, then the various ideas that came to mind when reading.
Join the presenters by sending in news of your reading group, or making comments about the book under discussion by emailing books@nullfrome.fm
We welcome listeners linked to the Home Delivery Service of the Royal Voluntary Service, who have books delivered to them. Do please write to us at books@nullfrome.fm with comments. And if you would like a visit from one of their volunteers, then contact Kirsty Jensson on 07920 250 834 or email her kirsty.jensson@nullroyalvoluntaryservice.org.uk or visit the library.
On 12th October, we talked to Martin Dimery about his new book Ruling Classes, a satire on the education system, and we also discussed Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis and The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark.
On November 9th, we will be talking to Rosie Jackson about her new book “The Light Box,” and discussing books related to poets – Leonard Cohen’s “The Flame” which we will link with Roger Green’s “Hydra and the Bananas of Leonard Cohen”. We will also be discussing Sylvia Plath’s “The Bell Jar”.
If you want to comment on these or any other book related theme, please mail us at books@nullfrome.fm with your thoughts. And like our facebook page !
If you want to join a group or start a new one, then visit the local library for help and advice – they have a list of books where they have multiple copies.
