Lockdown Reads

2020 — 2021

Before the Michelle Gordon Book Club officially launched, we found each other through books during lockdown. These are the reads that brought us together in the first place — and the reason we're all still here. With thanks to those who helped facilitate our early meetings before the club really found its feet.

Ready for your next great read?

Join the club and get a handpicked book, a live author evening, and a warm community — every single month.
