READiscover Twitter Book Club - meet the authors

Since September, people around Gloucestershire have been reading books as part of Gloucestershire libraries’ new Twitter book club. Now readers are getting the chance to meet the authors.

On Thursday 6 December, three of the book club authors, Sarah Moss, Night Waking; Amy Sackville, The Still Point and Francesca Brill, The Harbour, will be at Cirencester Library for a free question and answer event with readers. The author of Black Water Rising, Attica Locke, will be part of the discussion live by video link. The event takes place from 6-9pm on 6 December. To book a place, email Gloucestershire Libraries.
