Mostly Books hosts the Law and Literature Lounge Book Club on the first Thursday of every month at 7:15pm. The group examines fiction that depicts law and lawyers, providing a regular point of connection for readers in Adelaide.

Specialist Focus on Legal Themes

The Law and Literature Lounge Book Club meets on the first Thursday of each month. It forms part of a schedule of book clubs run by Mostly Books on the first, second, third and fourth Thursdays. Dr Rachel Spencer facilitates the sessions. She previously worked as a lawyer and legal academic before joining the team at Mostly Books, and she guides participants through analysis of the selected book before leading group discussion.

Newcomers are welcome where space is available. Those interested in joining oversubscribed groups can contact Mostly Books at [email protected] to be added to a waitlist. This process supports ongoing participation in the Law and Literature Lounge and the other regular book clubs.

Role in Local Literary Activity

The book club operates as one concrete example of how Adelaide supports sustained reading and discussion. By maintaining a specialist group focused on legal themes in fiction, Mostly Books contributes to the city's pattern of organised literary events that run throughout the year.
