Welcome, fellow bibliophiles and curious minds, to our dazzling A2MM Book Clubs!
Prepare yourselves for an enchanting adventure through the written word. Whether you’re a seasoned bookworm or a casual page-turner, this club is all about celebrating stories, engaging in spirited discussions, and—of course—having a great time!
First and foremost – we have two book clubs; one for Adults and another for Children. Shruti Parkhe leads the Adult Book Club while Asmita Dharap leads the Book Club for Children.
Here’s what you need to know:
- One Book a Month: We’ll embark on a monthly literary journey, exploring a new book every 30 days. We’ll give you a full month to devour each book at your leisure (or with gusto, depending on your reading style).
- All Are Welcome: Whether you read 10 books a week or haven’t cracked open a novel since high school, you’re invited to join! Kids are welcome too—provided they don’t disturb the magic of our discussions.
- Book Selections: The illustrious lead shall choose our monthly literary gems and share them with you via a snazzy Google Docs link.
- Sourcing Your Tome: It’s your quest to find the book—whether you borrow it from the library, peruse it on Libby, or snatch it from a bookshop shelf. The choice is yours!
- Book Language = English: The books will be in English (unless you’re a secret polyglot, in which case, we applaud you).
- Monthly Gatherings: We shall convene once a month, either virtually or in person, for a 2-hour bookish bonanza where we’ll dive deep into the pages of our latest literary treasure.
- Meeting Etiquette:
- Each meeting kicks off with a grand book summary. If you missed the reading (or only got halfway through), fear not—you can always chime in, and someone will guide you through the plot.
- Your exuberant lead will prep questions to prompt lively discussions and ask everyone for their thoughts.
- Every answer is treasured, and no opinion shall be judged! We’re here to explore, not to critique.
- Respect for others’ perspectives is key—whether you agree or not, let’s keep it classy and cordial.
- Notes, scribbles, daydreams, or the occasional burst of inspiration—bring it all. The more, the merrier!
