[close] For all the book worms who need to prepare for university! Or just for those who want to read some more classics! We read novels, poetry, plays... the lot! There will be a new text every fortnight for you to devour and options will be posted in a poll before each new challenge. Prepare for some intense, but exciting reading!

[close] Hello, hello and welcome to Our Novel Nook! Ashleigh, here! Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, prose, graphic novels, plays: joyous discussions of all things books await. I have wanted to start a book club for yonks, so, happily, Our Novel Nook has arrived; a space to share your favourite works, but also work of your own if you so choose. We will focus on one text per month. On the first day of each month, we will begin reading a new text for the following two weeks and discuss it throughout the remaining two. The next month's text will be announced on the Friday of the final discussion week. By all means suggest a new text to focus upon in the coming month before that Friday. Also, a podcast will be on its way in just over a month's time, so keep your ears perked! Knock your socks off! Instagram: ournovelnook

[close] For people interested in keeping up with the modern literary classics. We will be reading fiction and fine literature from 2000 to present, with the intent of finding those literary gems of timeless and enduring quality. We are not interested in reading the latest bestsellers, nor in discussing books already well-represented in other groups. Rather, our passion is to explore those works of fiction which stand a good chance of being remembered fifty years from now. In addition to seeking out books with literary merit, our secondary goal is to encourage lively, challenging, stimulating and thought-provoking discussions. If you are interested in going beyond bland and superficial discussions about the hottest book of the month, this could be the group for you.
