July Book Club/Writing Group Ticket

Your ticket for this event is your email confirmation, please ensure you have input your email address correctly and get in touch if you have any questions. 

Our monthly book club and writing group will be on the following dates:

You are welcome to come to both the writing group and book club or one or the other. Please don't be put off coming if you didn't finish the book, you can still join in the discussion or listen to others chat about it. 

6:30 - 7:30 Creative Writing Session (all skill levels)

There will be a list of prompts and 2 time slots given to fill the hour. The emphasis on the session will be writing, rather than feedback but you are always welcome to share you work. Some members of the group work on their pre-existing projects but others write something new. You're welcome to use the space for body doubling on other quiet activities, crafts or tasks. 

We then take a short 5-10 minute break before chatting about that month's book. The conversation is informal and everyone's perspective is welcome but the conversation will be guided, so that everyone has a chance to speak if they want to. There will be questions and prompts to get the conversation going if people are feeling stuck.

If you want to join our Whatsapp group, send us an email greyareabooks@gmail.com or DM us on instagram @greyareabooks, you will be the first to hear about our upcoming events. 

May book -  Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

10% off with code JULYBOOKCLUB

 Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir.

Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up.
