I have three great pleasures in life: reading, yapping and drinking wine. I have come to the conclusion that these joys are shared with others. Therefore, I decided to set up a book club which incorporates all three. Reading Between The Wines, aims to give like minded people the opportunity to discuss their favourite books, read as a collective and make new friends.
Rotting on the sofa, feels so much more aesthetically pleasing when I have my kindle or book at hand.
As a uni student, I am constantly trying to romanticise everything to make me feel as though I have a grip on life. Reading provides an outlet for me to do this. Rotting on the sofa, feels so much more aesthetically pleasing when I have my kindle or book at hand. I also find it to be a wholesome escape from the overwhelming realities of life in general. Books, for many, are a form of escapism. They give us the opportunity to enter a different reality or walk in another persons shoes. In the past year I have developed a deep love and appreciation for a wide range of books, from harrowing historical fictions to raunchy 80s romance, and my personal favourite, fantasy. However, I am aware that I am not alone in my obsession. So many conversations turn to books, and there are many of us who find joy in discussing what we love and why we love it. Therefore, in my head it only makes sense that a book club is necessary, hence Reading Between The Wines.
Reading between the wines aims to read one book a month, meet bi-monthly, drink wine and gush or complain about books.
Reading between the wines aims to read one book a month, meet bi-monthly, drink wine and gush or complain about books. The choice of the monthly read will depend on consensus. Members are able to present options, then the group will consider them and take a vote. The club will explore a plethora of different genres, catering to all who join. Therefore, one month a Jilly Cooper could be chosen and the next a Sarah J. Mass, simply anything goes.
It is also a great collective to join if you are looking for a wholesome activity!
I would also like to preface that you do not have to be an avid reader to join Reading Between the Wines. The club is also in place to encourage people to start reading in a fun and informal manner. It is also a great collective to join if you are looking for a wholesome activity!
