Thank you for dropping in!

The purpose of our virtual group is for individuals to come and share their reading and/or viewing experiences with others, as a way of enhancing your relaxation/mindfulness experience. On the site you will be aware of Two options; Book Discussions and Film Discussions. Visitors to the group can click on the tab, select either option and leave a review on either a book or Film they have read or viewed. The reviews don’t have to be in-depth accounts and should be a maximum of 150 words.

What should I include in the review?

As our virtual reading group is not a conventional book club, we don’t have a list of discussion points for reading and viewing selections. However, it is important that we do have common discussion points for the reviews. Here are a few important aspects which should be covered:

• Author/Director Style
• Theme/Setting
• Narrative/Plot or Character Driven
• Genre; (Thriller/Romance/Historical/Science Fiction/Non-Fiction etc.)
• Very important – Your opinion, whether you liked it or not? (what you liked or didn’t about book or film, a good review usually is a balance between both; unless it was either totally wonderful or awful?

Hopefully reviews will encourage individuals to comment and engage with their own thoughts. Hence creating a virtual discussion.
