Digital Book Group: May

Glasgow Women’s Library’s book group is welcoming and inspiring, connecting women who like reading with each other and to a host of amazing and surprising new reads. The book group is one of the Library’s longest running and most popular regular groups, meeting approximately once a month at the Library.

The digital branch of the GWL book group will complement the book group that meets at GWL, looking at the same books but discussing them in a slightly different format. This will enable people from across Scotland, the UK and (we hope) internationally to take part in discussions around books written by women and engage with GWL even if they can’t make it through our doors.

Taking part in our GWL Digital Book Group is easy and you can get as involved as you like. You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter and keep an eye out for our #GWLBookGroup hashtag.

We're trying this event page on Facebook to see if it makes discussions easier to follow but, as this is a new project, we welcome all feedback and if this event page doesn't quite work out then we'll try something else :-)

May’s Book
May’s book is The Chimes by Anna Smaill. Longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize, this stunning dystopian debut tells the story of a totalitarian regime that inflicts amnesia through music. Anna’s background as a musician and poet imbues her prose with a rich, tense power that pulls the reader into a world that will captivate, enthral and inspire. Keep an eye out for our blog posts and discussions around this exciting novel.

Some Rules
Please respect other Book Group members and be kind and polite to one another.
If you're posting anything that may spoil a book for other readers, please begin your post with ***SPOILERS*** so that we can easily spot them and avoid them.
Happy reading!
