The Secret Book Club
Welcome to the book club where we read and discuss literature that in recent years has been banned or labelled as problematic in the United States. Over the past two years, around 16,000 books have been banned. We choose the books we to be read together.
The book club meets once or twice a month for a pleasant gathering to discuss the books we read, the messages they convey, and their relevance in today’s society.
You can choose to participate at the vicarage or online via this link: https://teams.live.com/meet/9376424190643?p=fDhXijJcvioEZ7KulZ
The Book Club of Secret Books started in January 2026 but may also join later in the year. The book club is bilingual (Swedish and Finnish) and free of charge. Participants of the club are expected to get the scheduled books themselves.
If you want to join the book club and stay updated, you can join our WhatsApp group or email us at acprastgard(at)gmail.com.
