Our Facebook Book Group

This is a Facebook group for anyone who would like to talk about books, see what others are reading and share your thoughts about the books you are reading. The page is open to all readers aged 18 and over, whatever your taste in books, and we want to cover fiction and non-fiction.

What are we reading this month?

We are very excited to be working with Fifth Word Theatre and local playwright Mufaro Makubika for our next group read. Mufaro is currently adapting Booker Prize shortlisted novel We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo for Fifth Word. A poignant, powerful and unflinching novel, it tells the story of Darling who lives in Zimbabwe but dreams of moving to America. Later she moves to the US to live with her aunt and we accompany Darling on her journey to try to understand this new environment and her place in it.

On Wednesday 24 February 7pm we will be having an online discussion about the book on our Nottingham Library Readers Facebook page, just search for the group and join if you are not already a member. The discussions will feed into Mufaro’s thinking and writing when he completes his next draft.
