Tea

[close] Connect Book Club is a Women's Book Club! We read bestsellers, prize winning literature and Christian books; we're interested to hear your thoughts and opinions! Currently reading: 'How People Grow: What the Bible reveals about personal growth' by Cloud & Townsend. We are an inclusive and welcoming community, meeting monthly on a Monday, 7pm at: Connect Christian Church, 135 Golf Links Road, Frankston South VIC 3199 We'd love to have you join the conversation! We welcome all women to our community, and you don't have to attend Church or be a Christian to join our community!

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] Reading a book is like drinking tea -- it is a subtle and slow pleasure because it provides a headspace for those looking to relax, ponder, or let their minds wander onto little moments that bring peace or an understanding. I hope with this book club we can share favorite sentences and passages, first impressions, anything you've learned or can appreciate from the book. The needs and demands of a group will evolve, and I look forward to growing with all of you! We will first start with books, but the group is also open to articles (paywall free, or online library accessible please). We come from all sorts of walks of life but I hope we can all look towards seeing things in a different way, through books and through each other's thoughts. ***Moderator's note: I will try my best to be observant of any changes that need to be made, as well as requests for questions, etc. I am always open to feedback, and would love to hear your suggestions!***
