Last week saw the planning meeting for the Tuesday Morning Book Club of Abu Dhabi to discuss the new titles for their book club reading next season which kicks off in September. With only two more books left on this year's list for them to read, all the members were busy researching to come up with titles that encompass a wide range of topics and tastes.

A bookclub that mainly reads non-fiction, the members meet twice a month and focus on books in the English language as well as translations into the English language. 

Here is a list of the books they read last year (2015/2016):

'The Book of Disquiet' by Fernando Pesoa (544 pages)
