Reading together for a fairer, kinder, more connected Aotearoa New Zealand. At Book Discussion Scheme, we believe book groups can be places of learning, inspiration, connection and personal growth. There are currently around 13,000 Kiwis experiencing the benefits of a book group, but we're not stopping there.
