After the huge success of our first session, Chapter Twenty-Something is back again!

This book club is a space for those in the earlier stages of adulthood to connect over great books, good coffee and even better conversation! Designed for anyone looking to meet fellow readers, get back into reading or just spend an evening chatting about books :)

While the club is designed to help younger adults find a reading community, everyone is welcome.

Our next book is The Names by Florence Knapp - Winner of the Indie Book Awards 2026 and the Debut Fiction British Book Awards 2026! A highly recommended read :)

We will be meeting on Monday 14th September at 7pm in Chapters.

Thank you to those that attended our ‘Yellowface’ meeting, we had a fab time complete with interesting conversation and a fun quiz!

Book your free space in via message us on Instagram or Facebook or in-store at Chapters. We’d love to see you there!! 📚 ☕️

A Far Flung Life by M. L. Stedman

This week’s incredible review is from our book-obsessed owner of Chapters, Laura, so you won’t want to miss it!

A special mention to Laura for opening Chapters and building such a lovely community space for all to enjoy and from our staffing team who think she is a fabulous manager 🩶

A Far Flung Life is available to purchase in store and on our website now.

This is Raffy. Raffy is a lucky dog as he is taken for his walk through the woods in the cool of the evening. Friday night was a special treat for him as he had a half-way stop for a rest and some nice cool water in the Chapters outdoor patio. His co-walkers were equally lucky - a rest accompanied by a tasty cold beer and glass of chilled wine.

Friday night is late opening at Chapters, right through the summer - dogs especially welcome, accompanied by responsible adults 🙂

Nice chilled atmosphere this Friday evening in Chapters for getting a bit of work done.
Decent soundtrack too…
