The Rosé Reading Room (Watford)

Welcome to Rosé Reading Room

A warm welcome to all our new members! It’s lovely to have you here.

Rosé Reading Room is a women’s book group created with heart, humour, and honesty—for those who enjoy meaningful conversation, good food, and the shared experience of getting lost in a good book. We meet once a month, usually over a Sunday brunch or afternoon tea, for a relaxed mix of discussion, laughter, and connection. Whether you’re here for deep discussions, light-hearted chats, or simply to enjoy a glass of rosé over a good read, you’re in the right place.

Our Reading Focus

This is a book discussion group, so reading the chosen book is strongly encouraged. We dive into the book in detail after we’ve eaten. It’s absolutely fine if you’re partway through, but starting the book helps you feel included in the conversation. Our focus is on genres that meet women’s emotional, intellectual, and social needs—stories about strong female characters, personal growth, romance with depth, wellbeing, and everything in between.

Book Nominations & Voting

At each meeting, members who attend choose the next genre together. Everyone can then nominate a book via the Bookclub app—ideally:

 • Around 300 pages or fewer

 • Priced under £10

All nominated titles are added to a poll on the Bookclub app, where members planning to attend the next meeting can vote for the upcoming read.

A Note on Group Focus

We keep things friendly and social, but the main focus is always the reading. If you’re after something purely social without the reading element, I also run a local group called Watford Meet & Mingle:

RSVPs

Please remember to update your RSVP for each meeting on the Bookclub app/website, as I make reservations based off your RSVPs.

Next Bookclub Brunch/Tea

Our next gathering will be an Afternoon Tea Discussion for Anxious People. Thank you to those who’ve already confirmed dietary preferences—vegetarian, vegan, GF or otherwise.

We can’t wait to see you soon for another afternoon of books, conversation, and connection. Expect a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere where your voice matters and your presence is valued—whether you’re a chatterbox or a quiet observer. Come as you are, and let’s read, reflect, and connect.

With warmth,
