What we’re about
Hi, welcome to the Black and Brown Book Club. This is a place for BIPOC individuals in Edinburgh to socialise and read books by BIPOC women. We will be meeting monthly at various locations in Edinburgh. For the first few meet ups, we're hoping to meet at Leith Links.
July: The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
August: Honor by Thrity Umrigar

The group is free to join.
These events are only for BIPOC individuals. If you don't fall into this category, please let us know. If there's enough interest, we'll set up a separate group for everyone who wants to expand their reading list.
We look forward to seeing you there!
