Kia ora all,
Welcome back to the Time Out Lit Reads bookclub, now back in person and raring to go! We have a temporary new location and an exciting lineup of 2022 literature to tempt you with.
The next Lit Reads title is :
Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly.
"From their Auckland apartment, brother and sister must navigate the intricate paths of modern romance as well as weather the small storms of their eccentric Maori–Russian–Catalonian family. This beguiling and hilarious novel by Adam Foundation Prize winner Rebecca K Reilly owes as much to Shakespeare as it does to Tinder. Set in a world that is deeply familiar (but also a bit sexier and more stylish than the real one), Greta and Valdin will speak to anyone who has had their heart broken, or has decided that they don’t want to be a physicist anymore, or has wondered about all of the things they don’t know about their family."
- Te Herenga Waka University Press
Come and discuss this Ockham award contender with us on
Monday, May 2nd, 6.30pm
Location: The GoodHome Gastro Pub, 37 Normanby Road, Mt Eden.
Weather permitting, we will be located at outside tables. Food and drink are available for purchase.
Thank you to everyone who has continued to support Lit Reads during our virtual meetings over the last several months. It's been a bright spot during some testing times!
Some changes are ahead for Lit Reads bookclub as sadly Suri is leaving Time Out for exciting new horizons. Since starting this book club in 2018 Suri has done an amazing job of building up this little community of like-minded book fiends and it has been an absolute delight.
This event will be a great opportunity to say goodbye and thank Suri for all her wonderful enthusiasm for the book club and to assure everyone that things will proceed as normal. Time Out continues to select the best of new literature for us each month while I will do my best to guide discussions and be a point of contact for questions.
It is our intention to return to our home at Time Out as soon as Tāmaki Makaurau reaches the Green Light Covid-19 Alert level.
In the meantime, it would be lovely to see everyone again and to discuss Greta and Valdin and any other books you have been reading since last we met.
RSVP is essential, numbers are limited
