<p>Whether you’re a regular or have never attended before, we’ll be delighted to see you on <strong>Zoom</strong> from <strong>7.00 pm</strong> on <strong>Tuesday 20th January </strong>for <strong>Bookchat chapter 18!</strong></p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f384.png" alt="🎄" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Our topic this time:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Did you receive any books for Christmas? Do you like them?</li>



<li>Did you offer any books for Christmas? How do you choose a book for someone else?</li>



<li>Does the festive period influence your reading? Did you have more/less time to read?</li>



<li>Any reading resolution for the New Year?</li>
</ul>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f3dd.png" alt="🏝" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>Desert Island Reads… </strong><br>This time we don&#8217;t have anyone to tell us what 8 beloved books they would take to a desert island. <strong>We are looking for new readers to join the bookchat and the desert island list is an excellent way to introduce yourself as a reader</strong>. Please contact <a href="chair@nwtn.org.uk">Laurence </a>ahead of the bookchat for any guidance and to inform us you&#8217;re coming.</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f914.png" alt="🤔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> If we don&#8217;t have a castaway reader this time, we could talk about the classics we would like to read&#8230; one day. Or the ones we tried and abandon, or the ones we would never read&#8230; prepare your arguments for the discussion! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2049.png" alt="⁉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4da.png" alt="📚" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> As ever, the session will end with an opportunity to exchange <strong>book recommendations.</strong> Has anyone caught up with some reading this summer? Any beach/travel books to recommend?<br>Please don’t forget to add your recommendations to the <a href="https://nwtn.org.uk/forums/forum/book-chat/"><strong>Bookchat</strong> <strong>Forum</strong></a> so people can consult them at any time!</p>



<p>You can also join the chat on <strong>WhatsApp </strong>with your fellow bookchatters. If you are already a member of our WhatsApp NWTN Community, just join the Bookchat group. Otherwise, you can scan the QR code below.</p>



<p>This is also a great opportunity to meet the regulars if you have not attended before.</p>



<p>Come and tell us what kind of reader you are!</p>



<p>Laurence and Janice</p>
