Book Club
Society
Welcome to the Book Club!
Sometimes it’s hard to start a book and sometimes it’s hard to finish one, we’ve all been there. That’s why as a society we want to create an inclusive and welcoming space where reading feels lighter and more enjoyable :)
Each month, the members will vote for a Book of the Month from a themed list chosen by the committee and then meet to discuss it together.
We also meet every Sunday afternoon for a relaxed reading session, either in a café or outdoors if the weather is nice. You can bring the Book of the Month or your own book. No pressure, these sessions are simply about making time to read together in good company!
We’ll read a wide range of genres throughout the year, from romance to non-fiction to contemporary fiction and we’ll always keep our discussions friendly and inclusive.
Follow us on Instagram @uopbooksoc to keep up with all our upcoming meetings and events. If social media isn’t your thing you can also email us at bookclub@upsu.net
Our current committee is:
Nadia – President
Codrin – Vice President
Zoya – Secretary
Rupneet – Treasurer
Lily - Welfare Secretary
Dory - Social Media representative
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at all!
