 ✨ BOOK CLUBS ✨

 

***

The Book Clubs below run on a rotation basis, every couple of months (info for current book club below).

How it works:

Registration will open every time we pick a new book to read. You will need to register every time we choose a new book club pick, if you are interested in attending the meeting. 

Space is limited, so if you have registered but can't make it to the meeting, please send us an email or call to let us know so we can give your spot to someone else on the waiting list. 

Book Club Newsletter:

To be aware of each coming book club.s, you can register to our newsletter on the home page or if you scroll all the way to the bottom. Make sure to check your spam inbox once you've subscribed.

How to support the event:

All of our book clubs are free to attend and buying the book with us isn't mandatory. However if you don't already have the book, buying it through us does support Terrier Books.

Alternatively, you can now give a voluntary-based contribution to the book club.s if you want to support our events directly.

 

- TERRIER BOOK CLUB -

It is our main, classic book club. The books chosen in this one will be mostly fiction. Perfect for those who like reading to escape reality !

- BOOK TO SCREEN BOOK CLUB -

Read the book & watch the movie/TV show. In most cases, there will be a date set to watch the movie all together before the meeting, where we'll compare both. We'll talk and share what we like and didn't like in both. For all the cinephile out there!

- BOLD BOOK CLUB -

A book club for the open-minded. Talk and exchange in a safe space, without judgement. Yes, there will be books on sexuality, social justice or other hot topics!

Book Pick:

Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman

 

About the book:

Andre Aciman's Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera.

Each is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the restless summer weeks, unrelenting currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion and test the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

It is an instant classic and one of the great love stories of our time.

 

About the movie:

It's the summer of 1983, and precocious 17-year-old Elio Perlman is spending the days with his family at their 17th-century villa in Lombardy, Italy. He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student who's working as an intern for Elio's father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of their surroundings, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.

Winner of Best Adapted Screenplay and nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role (Timothée Chalamet), Best Motion Picture of the Year, and Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song) at the Academy Awards. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Drama at the Golden Globe Awards. Winner of Best Screenplay (Adapted) and nominated for Best Film and Best Lead Actor at the BAFTA Awards.

- SILENT BOOK CLUB® in Sooke -

In partnership with the Artisan's Garden, Terrier Books will be hosting monthly Silent Book Club® (SBC) !

About Silent Book Club® :
SBC is a global community of readers, with more than 500 chapters/groups in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather together to read in quiet(ish!) camaraderie. There's no assigned reading or discussion guides—that's the "silent" part of the book club—but we do like to share book recommendations and meet like-minded readers. All readers are welcome! Find out more info at www.silentbook.club 

About the event:
The SBC event will be located in the garden centre of the Artisan's Garden (right outside Terrier Books).
Event will be held in case of rain (in a covered area), unless notified. 

Here's what to expect:
  • Take the first half hour to order your drinks, grab a good seat, and check in with your friends.
  • After that, we'll announce the start of the silent reading time (1-2 hours) and it will be a safe quiet space to read.
  • At the end of the reading period, and for the next half hour, we'll announce that the silent reading time is up and if you want to continue reading you can, or like a traditional bookclub, you can chat with those around you about your current read (great book recommendation and even make a new friend!)
You're welcome to leave at any time during the SBC. You can stay and read for 10min, 30min or the whole 2 hours if you want! We just ask you to be respectful of the quiet space when you arrive/leave the space.

*NEW* Limited spaces. Registration is free but mandatory. Register by clicking on the date that you'd like to attend below. 

NEXT COMING DATES:

FRIDAY, JUNE 12th  3-5PM

SUNDAY, JUNE 28th  2-4PM

 

(dates for the next month will be announced every last week of the current month)
