Chapters & Chai Book Club - 2025 Wrap Up
I have had such an incredible time hosting Chapters & Chai in 2025, and I am so excited to see what 2026 holds. So, to say goodbye to a wonderful six months of book club in preparation for our new chapter, here's our Chapters & Chai Wrapped for 2025.
Chapters & Chai Book Club - 2025 Wrap Up

... and The Lamb was voted the favourite!
Our Top Genres were...

Happy New Year!
