Working Class

[close] Melanated Magic will feature an abundance of authors with melanated magic. Books will be a broad mixture of fiction and non fiction, YA, children's books, personal development and everything in between...… Please see the 'to read' bookshelf for the books that will be featured. The plan is to read (or listen to) a book every two months then share thoughts, feelings and topics and explore a few different methods of connection and engagement e.g. google hangouts, surveys nothing to onerous or homework like. There will also be at lease three annual meet ups scheduled in the Greater Manchester area and some trips to literary events further afield, but members can be based anywhere. Feel free to suggest any books. The meetups will be aimed at supporting independent businesses.

[close] What sort of books do working class readers enjoy? Clearly all books! but OK if we are thinking reading in a class conscious way, what might we highlight to other working class readers. This might be books by working class writers; it might be books about working class lives or jobs or themes; but it might be something else!

[close] In this group you will be able to know and share opinions about books which describe the reality of the working class from any place of the world.
