A book club - with a difference.

Lotus

Someone asked today if there is a book club, so I thought I'd try starting one. Not the usual type of club where everyone reads the same book - I thought we could write a synopsis of a book we've recently read, to give each other ideas for new books to read.

I have a Kindle subscription, so all of mine will be available on there for people who also subscribe.

  • I'm actually struggling to re-read again. I've lost that spark I think. On my birthday I buy a book and give myself until my next birthday to read it. It's a shame really because I was a massive MASSIVE book worm until I think depression struck and I can't face it.

    I did join a book club once and it was online which I thought I might float the idea for you guys if you want to try it.

    But basically everyone puts a book forward and all books by first come first served order all suggestions go in a list and you just go down the list. No voting and no book doesn't get read and it's fair. No worries if not but it's an idea. A one or 2 monthly online get-together to chat about the book is an option or just chat on a forum like this. 

    it's just an idea, but this is a great idea and hopefully I'll take some inspiration in some to try and read again.

    I wonder if listening to talking books might be a way back? These are free to loan if you tell the library you have autism.

    I have audible which helps but I'm very much traditional with books. Love a good book in hand and just nothing else but the story to escape to. I feel audible books can make me kind of still grounded in reality whereas a book feels like you can shut off everything around you.
