Page to Screen Book Club (Remote)

May 19, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free
Online, N/A, Portland, OR 97207

The Books Around the Corner Page to Screen Book Club is led by the owner/librarian, Stephanie Rose, and meets monthly on the third Tuesday of every month at 6PM beginning in May. We would like to extend an invitation to all of our customers that love books that have or will become adapted into shows or films. (RSVP is not required).

Our book discussions aim to bring people together to talk about books in a safe and inviting atmosphere. Our meetings are lovely and inclusive; we invite you to attend. Come and enjoy a lively discussion about the chosen book with other readers.

Join us on May 19th for our first Page to Screen Book Club.

We will discuss Normal People by Sally Rooney.

Connell and Marianne grew up in the same small town, but the similarities end there. At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation–awkward but electrifying–something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

We offer 15% discount off our book club books. Due to the time and effort we put into organizing our book clubs if you choose to purchase the book elsewhere, already own it, or check it out from the library we will now be asking members who do not purchase their books at our shop to pay a $5 fee. Thank you for understanding and supporting us.
