Chorlton Readers - September meet-up!

Chorlton Readers - September Meet-up

Come and join us for our ninth book of 2026 at The Beagle. Open to girls, gays and theys, we meet on the last Wednesday of the month to discuss our chosen book, and to meet some new pals along the way.

Our mission is to foster meaningful conversation, friendship, and a sense of belonging through books. We meet regularly to explore literature that reflects our lives, challenges our thinking, and brings us joy... Most of the time.

Attendees are asked to pay a £5 admission fee. This has been introduced to reduce the number of no-shows, with some funds going into a kitty for additional social events.

Follow @chorltonreaders on instagram for more info!

6-8pm.

August's book is... Fruit Fly by Josh Silver.

Anyone can write a bestseller. Here’s how…

Go gay.

It’s been seven years since Mallory shot to fame as a literary sensation. But after years of struggling with writer’s block, she’s desperate to resurrect her career before it spirals into obscurity. She needs inspiration to strike – and fast.

Go sad.

Enter Leo – a young struggling addict sleeping under bridges and trading sex for survival. He’s vulnerable. He’s enigmatic. He’s exactly what Mallory has been looking for.

Go dark.

Mallory needs Leo if she wants another bestseller. Authenticity sells, and there’s nothing more authentic than real life. She’s the perfect person to tell Leo’s story. Gay, sad, dark – just what the world needs right now. But as secrets threaten to unravel more than just her career, Mallory must decide: just how far will she go to pen the perfect story?

We'll discuss the book and then have some time to socialise afterwards - 15% off pizza/drinks for attendees that order at the bar.
