Virtual Book Club (3)

"The journey of a lifetime starts with the turning of a page" - Rachel Anders

Continuing with our love of books we would like to open your mind to feeling the sense of adventure. A great way to escape without leaving your home. The next meeting is on Monday 3rd August at 7pm with the theme Adventure Biographies. There are lots to choose from and plenty to review.

Examples could include:

• Expedition by Steve Backshall
• Step by Step by Simon Reeve
• Lone rider: the first British woman to motorcycle around the world by Elspeth Beard

We ask for you to choose a book in this theme and inform the office with your choice, email here.

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. It is a great opportunity to brush up your presentation skills, boost your confidence and network with new or existing contacts.

Options are more limited in terms of acquiring books but just to give you some electronic ideas a go, you could try:
• Kindle Books
• Audio Subscriptions such as Audible
• Free books online from places such as Project Gutenberg - Click here
• Here is a link to a borrowing website linked to Leeds Libraries.

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 President Melanie Jordan via LinkedIn.

Zoom link details will be received with your booking confirmation.
