I am the founder and organizer of The Portsmouth Book Club which meets on the second Tuesday of every month at Molly Malones Irish Pub. We currently have about 70 members and about 15-20 attend the meetings each month.
As many of you Portsmouth Dwellers are aware of, Molly Malones is gone. We are terribly sad that not only will we be losing this wonderful venue, we will also be losing a wonderful Portsmouth landmark.
Why is Molly's gone? Andrew Corbin, the former owner, told me that he was made an offer he couldn't refuse and it closed in record time. It was a private sale. As many of you know, Andrew recently had a beautiful baby, and this will give him some time to spend at home with his family. Although we may have lost Molly's, we can't be too upset.
So now what? Our Portsmouth Book Club will now be meeting at The Coat of Arms on Fleet Street, same day, same time. And by the way, Andrew told me that we will all be very pleased with the new ownership of Molly's. He hasn't given me any hints yet. (They may even reopen under the same name!)
Our next book club meeting is this coming Tuesday at the Coat of Arms at 7pm. We will be discussing Memoirs of a Geisha. If you would like to join our book club, please feel free to sign up here:
This club is for people who LOVE to get lost in books and are open to exploring different genres not normally in their reading fare!

How neat. I wish I had the time to join the book club.
I left Portsmouth a few years ago... reluctantly I might add. ;) I didn't know that Molly's was gone. How sad. I loved this book! Fabulous!
Rebecca, great book choice! I read that in my book club. Molly's sounds like a great place!
Book clubs are always great fun. I am a member of a business women's networking bookclub through our chamber of commerce. Great way to meet other women in business and to read some books with good business building ideas. By the way I read your book several years ago and loved it.
