About This Event

A book club reading The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong takes place at Gullivers in Manchester on 19 October 2026. Tickets cost £2 and all funds raised go directly to charity. The evening runs for approximately two hours, with the next month's book decided by vote.

There are scam emails circulating impersonating the organiser of this group. I do **not** email authors, I do **not** request money, and all funds raised through this book club go directly to charity. Monday nights are rubbish... But wait, they don't have to be! What are we reading? The *Emperor of Gladness*: The unforgettable Sunday Times bestseller from the author of TikTok sensation On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous We're a very relaxed and friendly book club so please join in. **Tickets sell out quickly! There’s nothing we can do about that, sorry - we sometimes get cancellations closer to the day of the event so check back if you’ve missed out. Also, people always ask about a waiting list - unfortunately Meetup don’t offer this feature for this type of event.** We'll stay as long as we still have things to say (usually around 2 hours) and pick next months book with a vote so come prepared with suggestions. The £2 fee goes towards paying for the MeetUp subscription and any additional dollar, dollar will be donated to the local Manchester charity - Mustard Tree. If you would like to donate to this very worthy charity then please follow this link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bookcranny Please only attend if you are "going" and have prepaid your £2. The £2 fee is non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If you can no longer attend please change your attendance to "not going" so someone else can take the spot. NO SHOWS will be flagged. If you are a no show 2x you will be removed from the group. Play nice and make your spot available for someone else if you can’t make it! Hope to see you there and any questions just give me a shout.
