Description
Welcome to our December Book Lovers’ Afternoon Tea event hosted by myself (Laura Maginess) and my book club partner in crime and celebrated author Claire Duffy – aka the Jackie Collins of Shawlands.
Sponsored by the host of the Wealth Magnetism podcast Renata Cook, the mission of the Book Lovers’ Tea Party to encourage friendship and the collective reading of fab fiction. This is not an event you need to have read any books in particular for, but rather it will include a panelist chat with some authors in our genre focus and for the event! This month our genre focus is: Mon the Lassies: Women’s Fiction
The Plan
Date: 8th December 2024
Time: 12 – 4pm
Location: The Corinthian
What to expect –
⚡️ a glass of fizz or mocktail on arrival to wet the whistles for all the book lover’s chat
⚡️ a delicious afternoon tea served on round tables, ideal for conversation. We will have a table plan created in advance so solo bookers and members (who make up the bulk of our bookings) can sit together and connect.
⚡️A Q&A with authors
⚡️Questions shared with each table about the book
⚡️The dusty book exchange- attendees will be invited to bring any books gathering dust on their bookshelves to swap

This event is open to all members and like-minded ladies who have a shared love of reading, chatting and cake!
The Genre focus for the day will be: Mon the Lassies: Women’s Fiction, so have a think about your fave books that shout about kick ass wummun!

Claire is a Glasgow crime, romance and romantasy author who is known as the Jackie Collins of Shawlands (mostly by herself). She was a screenwriter for over a decade until the film industry made her so bitter that she caught herself cycling past a production company giving it the finger. She quit, went to work in a pre school in Stockholm and wrote her first novel while her class of one-year-olds napped.
