Past library book club titles

Our latest book club read was The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste. We met to discuss this book on 4 Nov 2024. This is what one of our readers, Tahira Mumtaz, thought about it:

"It's a really inspiring book that discusses women's role during the war and how the history we read seldom acknowledges them. I saved quotes from the book. One that I remember and thought a little longer about after reading is part of a paragraph ... 

There are ways the world must move in order to keep everything intact, and girls with scars must recognise their place amongst those who make scars."

To celebrate World Book Day we relaunched our staff/student library book club! We were reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton and met to discuss the book on 22 Apr 2024 in the library. 10 copies were made available to borrow in the library counter for book clubbers.

Book review

"I literally enjoyed everything reading this book. Each chapter was beautifully written, and the description and role of each character and the time change from past to present everything was portrayed amazingly. All the secrets and mystery got revealed by the end of the story along with the explanation of fairy tales."
