About us

Bookgroup Info launched in July 2002. In the past five years it has become the independent site for book groups in the UK.

Irene Haynes and Clare Chandler run the site with help from a small team of readers and reviewers. We are all members of book groups and have a wealth of experience between us.

From the hundreds of books we are sent or that are recommended to us, we choose those which have really made an impression on us and review five on the site every month. We also interview authors as well as keeping up with events in the literary world.
