About us
Note: If you receive an email purporting to be from this group offering to feature your book, it is a scam. Please see https://www.reddit.com/r/selfpublish/comments/1nki6s5/book_club_review_scam/
This is a group where we read everything out loud during our meetings — poetry, short stories, plays, novels and non-fiction. Therefore, there’s no need to prepare by reading anything in advance. Either a link to the text will be provided, or we'll do screen-sharing.
You don't have to be a "good reader" to participate; we all get better through practice. It's more fun and more learning happens when people read together, sharing their perspectives.
Another advantage of this format is that we can all react "in the moment" to what we are reading, unlike in regular book clubs where you read the book first, and then forget some of it by the time you actually get to talk about it.
The group was founded by Phyllis in mid-2020, and has been going strong ever since!

Group readaloud: Short Stories by Katherine Mansfield
·OnlineOnlineThis is a read-aloud session, with all text shared on-screen, and discussions of what we just read between rounds – like a small-group seminar. There are no prerequisites; you do not need to purchase the book for yourself, although we encourage you to do so, as it is well worth it!
In this session, we will complete our first reading of KM's "At the Bay", beginning at section IX, and continuing to the end. I will provide a synopsis of the story through section VIII at the beginning, or you can read those sections here:
https://short-stories.co/@katherinemansfield/at-the-bay-qpkv52w7vr91Afterwards we will read some analysis of the story.
***
Latecomers (unless we know you) will generally NOT BE ADMITTED once the reading starts. If this is your first time with us, consider joining five minutes early, so we can work out any technical issues you may be having.
