P&G Wells Book Group
We started a Book Group P&G Wells in March 2023 and it has gone from strength to strength. We are very much enjoying sharing a range of books.
The meetings are friendly and relaxed. Not all members have to attend every meeting though we hope you may still wish to read the books even if you cannot come along. New members will always be welcome though we may need to restrict the size of the group if we get too large. We hope the meetings will encourage lively discussions but there will be no pressure to say anything if you don’t want to!
We read a mixture of books with a slant towards contemporary fiction. Any book we choose will be available in paperback. Books are chosen by P&G Wells staff. We request that members of the Book Group buy the selected book from our shop. Please remember that being a member of the Book Group is about supporting P&G Wells Bookshop.
Book Group will take place on the third Thursday of the month (excluding August and December).
Places for each meeting will be limited to 12 participants.
The next meeting will be on Thursday 17 October at 6:30pm.

Notes on an execution
£9.99Notes on an execution
Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours. He knows what he’s done, and now awaits the same chilling fate he forced on those girls, years ago. But Ansel doesn’t want to die; he wants to be celebrated, understood. He hoped it wouldn’t end like this, not for him. Through a kaleidoscope of women, we learn the story of Ansel’s life. As the clock ticks down to Ansel’s execution, these women sift through the choices that culminate in tragedy, exploring the rippling fissures that such destruction inevitably leaves in its wake.
