Blind

[close] If you are like me, then you enjoy reading a good book. You'd like to take part in a book club, but there seems to be one or more obstacles preventing you from staying long-term. Maybe it's the location. Paratransit just might not be able to get you to someone's scenic mountain home. Or maybe the book is a new release that is a bit off the beaten path and therefore isn't available on a place like Bookshare or BARD. Or perhaps you would just like to find a place where you aren't asked whether you dream in color. In any case, this is a book club for anyone who is interested in connecting with or is part of the blind/low vision community, and loves to read. The pandemic has given rise to many virtual book clubs but as things begin reopening, who knows just how long those Zoom meetings will last? It is my hope to create a group where any and all are welcome, and we are all able to read together, develop friendships, and have some fun.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] A group for readers to connect with Nicole Rae, author of Clandestine, the first book in the Bound In Blood series. Here you can chat with her about her books as well as others. Has a question been nagging at your brain? Here's the place to ask it. Anything goes. Book lovers unite to make one wickid cool group:)

[close] Whether you are already part of a book group, are interested in setting one up or are an individual who would like to take part, then this is for you. Sign up for Read for RNIB and read one of our suggested books. Everyone that registers will be sent exclusive discussion points from our chosen authors, written specifically for the Read for RNIB Reading Group. There will be questions about the overriding themes of the books, plot development and the characters involved. However, the ‘novel’ idea behind this year’s Reading Group is that all of the books chosen feature a blind or partially sighted character. This means that you will also receive thought provoking questions that focus on this character and their journey throughout the story.
