It’s time to look towards our new book - and I’m excited about this one. It’s been on my ‘to read’ list for a while and it has some lovely reviews.
I also thought we should do a daytime meetup in June, with coffee or wine depending on the weather/time of meet. Hopefully you can join us! We can wander up the canal or lounge on the grass, either way it will be nice to do something a little different to our cold water morning dips.
Speaking of which, we have our second meet approaching fast. This Thursday to be exact! An early morning swim at Pickmere (if you are joining us drop me a whatsapp and I will coordinate our meeting time!) and an evening online meet, on the same day. Both meets last month were so special, our cold swim was beautiful and our evening chat had some lovely thought nuggets to take away and ponder.
How is everyone getting on with Ask Me Again? I’ve found this one a little slow if I’m honest, but I don’t want to give to much away - be good to chat more - I think there are some hidden themes and discussion points. Be lovely if you have some notes or quotes of your own you can bring along to our chat. It’s wonderful having some starting points that aren’t my own :) As always, please don’t feel pressure if you haven’t finished the book. I haven’t finished this one! We would all much much prefer you came along for the chat, than missed it on the account of not doing your homework :)
So next up we have Nikki May’s This Motherless Land. It’s an NPR ‘best book of the year’ and reviews say it’s ‘witty warm and hugely entertaining’… I’ve got high hopes and with a meetup in June we’re looking at a nice summery chat maybe finding ourselves all sat on the grass somewhere together.
Please say you’ll join us! The box will contain the book, some surprise goodies and an a5 print. It also gets you a spot at the in-person meet. Oh, and if you wanted to grab a bundle of book 2 + book 3, I’ve got a special offer - (btw this doesn’t include entry to a meetup, but you can always grab a ticket later. See how you go!) xox Nicola
