[close] Hey hey! Welcome to Limes n' Tangerines, fellow readers! With limes and tangerines in season, we thought of getting started on a bookclub this winter! Consider this a platform to squeeze those limes and tangerines from gripping books and wring out their juicy gossips! Little do we know how much is out there waiting for us to explore and discover! Let's delve into the intricacies and complexities of other authors' thinking and allow them to stir familiar or unexpected emotions within us to get the conversation rolling! Through this, let's entertain similar or differing ideas, challenging the dynamics of our own thinking! The objective is to read the monthly allocated books. Then, during the last week of the month, discuss the book. This is an open conversation for all to contribute their thoughts and feelings! Through this journey, we'll face sour ideas like limes and a tad sweeter ones like tangerines! So, fix yourselves a plate of limes and tangerines and let's read our hearts out, speak our minds and grow all together!

[close] There are over eight billion humans on the planet, where will wildlife live in the future? Most wildlife lives around rural, indigenous communities all over the world. How can modern, western societies provide incentives to rural communities to practice wise wildlife and habitat conservation? This group will expire these issues and filmmaker/author Tom Opre’s series of books Killing the Shepherd.

[close] My Body, My Book Club aims to connect people and create communities. We read fiction books (with the odd memoir here and there too) that deal with different aspects of how we understand bodily autonomy and exemplify how we can get involved and support each other. Issues such as gender-based violence, racism, homelessness, displacement, abortion, obstetric violence, and the rights of marginalised communities, like the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ groups, are just some of the topics we cover. We know this is heavy stuff, but the book club hopes to foster empathy as well as raise awareness and question established narratives. Our main goal is to connect communities. So, for each session, we partner with a charity working with the subject we will be reading about in the novel, and we invite an expert on the topic to join our chat. (Also, all proceeds from the sale of tickets will be donated to the month’s charity.)

[close] A Book Club for Curious Minds All are welcome to join in as we read a book together each month. This isn’t a club about speed or pressure — it’s about exploration, conversation, and connection. We read stories that make us pause, reflect, and sometimes smile. ✨ What to Expect ✨ Rotating themes: memoirs, social issues, personal journeys, reflections on life, and books that explore human thought and behavior. Thoughtful, curious discussions—never judgmental. A space to pause, share, and embrace the messy, beautiful complexity of the world and its people. For readers who value stories that stay with them and shift the way they see the world.
