What we’re about
Welcome to the Bury Me In Books Edinburgh Book Club! 📚✨
Are you passionate about diving into captivating stories, exploring new worlds, and discussing the depths of character development over a cup of coffee or a pint? Then this is the group for you!
Each month, we'll open up selection on instagram for the monthly book from a selection of fiction books. From timeless classics to contemporary bestsellers, our bookshelf knows no bounds! 📖💬
Just a few group rules:
- Attendance: Going forward, we’ll be introducing a 3-strike policy. If you don’t attend an event or don’t give at least 24 hours’ notice on 3 occasions, we may need to remove you from the group. I really don’t want to do this, but it’s important to be mindful of the tables we book and those on the waiting list when deciding whether to attend.
- Sharing the Conversation: We want to make sure everyone has a chance to share their thoughts on the book, so please try not to dominate the conversation. If you speak over others, it can limit the opportunity for everyone to chime in!
- WhatsApp Chat: Let's try to keep the chat focused on the book club—updates, discussions, and event details. It’s not ideal for personal messages or promoting other groups, as it can get cluttered for those who just want book-related info.
- Respect & Welcoming Atmosphere: Above all, let’s be respectful and kind to one another, and make sure all attendees feel welcome at events. A friendly and inclusive vibe is what makes this group special!

Milnes Bar (Downstairs) - 100 Best Books Book Club - To The Lighthouse, Virginia WoolfMilnes Bar, Edinburgh
The Ramseys have always spent their holidays at their summer house on Skye – holidays filled with noise, joy and the stuff of family life that might go on forever. But as time passes, bringing with it war and death, the summer home stands empty until one day the family return to make the long-postponed visit to the lighthouse.
To the Lighthouse was published in 1927 and was more commercially successful than any of Woolf’s previous novels. Woolf herself thought it ‘easily the best of my books’. The book printed three times in its first year and went on to become one of Woolf’s best-loved works.
