Description
Welcome to our third afternoon tea and book club event hosted by myself (Laura Maginess) and my book club partner in crime and celebrated author Claire Duffy – aka the Jackie Collins of Shawlands.
Sponsored by the host of the Wealth Magnetism podcast Renata Cook, the mission of this book club is to encourage friendship and the collective reading of fab fiction.
The Plan
Date: 6th October 2024
Time: 12 – 3.30pm
Location: The Corinthian
How The Glasglow Girls Club Book Club Works
Every quarter comes with a genre focus and within that quarter Claire has recommended multiple books for reading. At the end of each quarter, we will get together over a sparkling afternoon tea, where the books will be discussed and we will also invite an author (or two) to come along and share their story with us all.
It is not essential to have read all of the books (you would still enjoy having not read any!), it is a collective love of stories that will bring us all together and there will be plenty of chat and inspiration from Claire and our author(s) to keep us all entertained too.
What to expect –
⚡️ a glass of fizz or mocktail on arrival to wet the whistles for all the chat.
⚡️ a delicious afternoon tea served on round tables, ideal for conversation. We will have a table plan created in advance so solo bookers and members (who make up the bulk of our bookings) can sit together and connect.
⚡️A Q&A with authors
⚡️Questions shared with each table about the book
⚡️The dusty book exchange- attendees will be invited to bring any books gathering dust on their bookshelves to swap

This event is open to all members and like-minded ladies who have a shared love of reading, chatting and cake!

Claire is a Glasgow crime, romance and romantasy author who is known as the Jackie Collins of Shawlands (mostly by herself). She was a screenwriter for over a decade until the film industry made her so bitter that she caught herself cycling past a production company giving it the finger. She quit, went to work in a pre school in Stockholm and wrote her first novel while her class of one-year-olds napped.
