Join us for the Thursday Singles Book Club!
Hello book lovers and welcome to Bàrd Books for another Singles Book Club. Each month we pick a new book: something you’ve hopefully not discovered, something new and exciting to discuss with other like-minded book lovers. We’ll have some questions to get the conversation started, so all you need to do is read the book, turn up and be ready to chat.
What a better way to meet someone than in the pages of a book or over the pages of a book...
Come for the book chat, stay for the chemistry!
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE BOOK BEFORE ATTENDING!
Bàrd Books on Roman Road – 20th August!
Book of the month:
I Want You To Be Happy by Jem Calder
This is Sally Rooney from a male perspective. Millennial malaise and writerly existentialism.
Chuck and Joey meet in a bar. He's in his mid-thirties; she's twelve years younger. He's long abandoned his ambition of becoming a novelist and now works as a copywriter at a big ad agency. 'Lead copywriter,' he corrects himself. Joey lives paycheck to paycheck on her barista wages and privately dreams of making it as a poet. They go back to Chuck's luxury flat-a world away from Joey's cramped house-share, the crumbs in her bed. Soon, Joey's imagining a future between them, and Chuck's moving on from a mistake in his recent past. Amazing, how meeting a new person can make you feel so new.
'Prepare to see this everywhere.’ - Elle
'I was totally invested.' - Saba Sams
