Announcing our July Bookmonger Society pick…
John of John by Douglas Stuart. 📖
Oprah’s got great taste. So do we.
You voted for it in our poll, and it was also chosen by Oprah as her 123rd book club selection, one of the most anticipated novels of 2026, and we are so proud to be championing Glasgow native and one of Scotland’s greatest literary voices right here in Bearsden.
From the Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo, John of John is raw, emotionally rich, and rooted in the Scottish landscape we know and love.
📅 Wednesday 15 July | 7:30 p.m.
📅 Thursday 16 July | 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are £25 and include your hardback copy of John of John, a signature Bookmonger charcuterie board, book discussion, and Kahoot! trivia with prizes. Wine, soft drinks, and beer available to purchase on the night. Audiobook also available, or choose a swap ticket if you already have the book!
🥂 A little birthday bonus — both nights this month every guest receives a complimentary welcome glass of Cremánt or non-alcoholic alternative, in celebration of Caitlyn’s birthday.
Full details and tickets on the event page, linked in bio.
