WORD Christchurch are partnering with the Book Discussion Scheme (BDS) to bring you the inaugural WORD 2022 Book Club — a chance for you and your friends to take your WORD Festival experience further by combining a six-month mini book club with livestreamed sessions from the festival.
You can participate from anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand!
How it works
BDS and WORD have collaborated to put together a curated list of 13 titles by festival authors. Simply gather your book club (between three and 10 members) and choose the five titles your group would most like to read. You’ll all receive links to your chosen authors’ livestream sessions during the festival and, once a month thereafter, your nominated group coordinator will receive one of your chosen book sets. You’ll continue to meet on a monthly basis to discuss and exchange the books until you’ve read all five.
Why join? You get to extend and enrich your reading by combining it with group discussion and inspiring livestreams from the festival. You’ll also receive incredible value, with pricing exclusive to WORD Book Club 2022 participants.
You’ll receive:
