LIT READS UPDATE!
In lieu of having our usual book club upstairs, we invite you to join us for wines and book chats in the virtual world! We would like to keep our Lit Reads community connected and engaged, continuing our in-depth book chats in whichever ways we can during this time.
In light of today's new, increased measures around social distancing and in order to ensure the safety of our customers and staff, we have decided not to move forward with a physical book club meeting for this month. To make this work best, we invite you to email through any extra-curricular reading and questions you'd like to ask, which we'll all be able to tackle via video and text chat. You will need a Gmail account to video chat with us, but if not, you can still join us via Google Chat using the below instructions:
We will send an Hangout invite to everyone on the Lit Reads RSVP list. You can then go to your Google Drive and open your Calendar to see scheduled meetings.
In Calendar, click the event you want to join.
Click Join Hangouts Meet and in the window that opens, click Join Now.
If you do not have a Gmail/Google account, you can still join us via video call! Click here on Monday night at 6.30pm to join us if you do not have a Gmail account . Guests without an account can present and participate in the video call, but other features, such as text chat and Hangout apps will not be available to them.
Jenna will be on hand during the evening to offer technical support. You can text or call her on 0276987870, or email the shop at books@timeout.co.nz.
For anyone who has already paid for this month's book club, your RSVP will be transferred to the next meeting. We are re-assessing the situation daily and will keep you updated with any future postponements and changes in date.
A strange and beautiful psychological drama that follows a young woman dealing with the recent death of her older husband. Set in metropolitan China, with the bustling backdrop of urban life and Tibetan mysticism, Braised Pork is a startling and surreal meditation on loss, urban loneliness and myths new and old.
All are welcome!
