Virtual Book Club - Books that have been made into a Film or TV show
Books that have been made into a Film or TV show. If you want you can watch as well as read and let us know your thoughts on how the screen version compares.
There have already been some new ones recently such as 'Death on the Nile' and 'Dune' but there are several more big adaptations due to come out later this year including 'Pachinko', 'Where the Crawdad's Sing' and 'Conversations with Friends' by Sally Rooney.
We love to welcome new members so don't be scared to come along if you haven't given it a go before. As we have a Book Theme rather than a specific book each month you've got a lot of flexibility to pick something that you'll enjoy and then you can come along and share your thoughts. It's a great way to socialise and make friends whether you're a stalwart bookworm or someone who's just looking to get a bit more into reading.
What happens at the book club:
A small group meet on a regular basis, we review a book of your own choice matching the chosen theme. Each person takes it in turn to review their book, good points and bad points, what we enjoyed and writing styles. We then choose the next theme and meeting date. It is a great opportunity to brush up your presentation skills, boost your confidence and network with new or existing contacts.
You can get your books from all sorts of sources including:
- Supporting your local bookshop
- Charity Shops
- Libraries (many libraries provide online borrowing now as well - Here is a link to a borrowing website linked to Leeds Libraries.
- Kindle/Kobo Books
• Audio Subscriptions such as Audible
• Free books online from places such as Project Gutenberg -Click here
If anyone wants a quick chat about how things will run or any thoughts on the future for the book club feel free to get in touch with current president Melanie Jordan via LinkedIn.
Zoom link details will be received with your booking confirmation. We ask for you to choose a book in this theme and inform the office with your choice, via your booking.
