We asked one of our members a few questions regarding their experiences in Book Club.  This is what she had to say:

Do you think it was worthwhile being in the book club?  If so, what did you get out of it?  If not, what didn’t you enjoy?

Book club was absolutely worthwhile, not only did we have great discussions about our own opinions of books, we also talked about how we could use the books in our classes. Looking at the books through a teacher's perspective really makes you think differently about it. On top of that, during a stressful year, I believe that book club was something that I really enjoyed and was good for my mental health.

If you were to run your own book club, what would you change?

If I was running my own book club I probably would have chosen different books - simply because I have different tastes. I definitely would have picked a Harry Potter book - probably the first one - because there's so much to discuss about it.

Which of the books that were read is your favourite and why?

I think that out of all the books we read Silverwing was my favourite. Even though I had read it when I was younger, rereading it as an adult gave me a whole new appreciation for the novel. Again, looking at how to use it in the classroom also really opened my eyes to the idea that this book could be used as part of a novel study because it connects to many different curricular expectations across many subjects.
