Description
University of Bristol Book Society is open to everyone who loves to read, would like to read more or would like to get into reading. We discuss all books of any genre and format, so there is something for everyone!
There will be a fortnightly book club meeting whereby we will read a set book in between sessions so we can discuss our thoughts and opinions as we read. This will be a brilliant opportunity to be part of a group and to make new friends with fellow book enthusiasts. The meetings will be held in a relaxed environment where everyone will be free to express their own thoughts and feelings whilst feeling heard and not judged. There will be plenty of refreshments at the meetings so feel free to come along, sit back and have fun! The first book to be discussed will be confirmed soon!
If you wish to join the book club meetings but have missed sessions, this is absolutely fine! We will post constant updates on where we are in the book so you can catch up easily, or if you are unable to read the chapters in time for the next session, we will be able to provide a synopsis of those chapters at the beginning of the session (with permission of course, we don't want to give away any unwanted spoilers!).
Each event will be posted on the SU webpage and members are encouraged to sign up for every event you plan to attend. Most of these events will be at no extra cost to members and will just help to provide an indication of numbers so we can better prepare for each event.
Other events from the Book Society include:
> book swapping events
> coffee shop socials
> evening socials
> book store trips
> collaborative events with other societies
> and many more!
