This is not your regular book club.

This is wine, food and literary excellence.

I need 10 members.

Hi,

The meetings will be held at different restaurants and lounges across Mauritius to give us the chance to explore food and spots on the island.

Books will be in English and we'd be reading different genres; contemporary fiction, classics, non-fiction all from some of the best marginalized authors worldwide. A list of titles will be presented and the club can vote on their favorite title.

There are no entry fees. Only cost would be cost for books and if you opt for food or drinks at our meetings.

Meetings would be once every month to discuss the BOTM- Book of the month and network.

I hope this throws more light on the setup.

Best,
Cleopatra

Hi Cleo. How are you? I am moving to Mauritius by next month and I am interested. I am an avid reader of books.I am interested in this. I want to ask a question, is it that everybody get their own book when reading a BOTM or one person reads for the other?

Hello Cleopatra,

As a literary junkie, i absolutely love this idea and would love to be a member. I had a book club for children back in Accra which I had to suspend as I was moving here; so any opportunity to engage over books is right up my alley plus over wine, even better. (ha). Would be leaving Mauritius to be back by the end of November. Hope it wouldn't be too late to join if accepted membership.

Regards,
Bea.

Hi Sophie, thanks for reaching out. Everyone gets a copy of the BOTM. We all read individually and discuss the book at our monthly meetup.

Where does everybody live? If we can get a sense of how many people are interested, we can try and get a book club going:) I think the last one was started a few years ago, so it may no longer be running.

Hi Cleo 101

Love the name, maybe kick off with play Anthony and Cleopatra! Ha ha I love this Shakespeare’s play on jealousy and revenge, ooh a killer. Just a suggestion as I am game to reading interesting marginalised authors too. I am keen but live in the North so depends on the time of the day etc to drive back. Am keen to join you all. Maybe we should be 20 odd so at least 10 can make it each time? Just an idea.

What a great idea! Count me in.

Les Allysees in Moka Smart City is a cute little collection of trendy shops and cafés, a great place to hang out.

Hey friends! I think that the original book club (organised by Cleopatra) is no longer running. However, seeing as there is still interest, perhaps we might form a new book club. We could try and schedule a session in June, in which we meet up, find out what genre of books everyone is interested in, and we can also discuss how to run this book club. Alternatively, we can discuss through this forum and settle upon a book, and meet up once everyone has read the book. What do you all think? @Nazninmk, I think it would be a great idea to include books by diverse authors as well! PS does anyone have any ideas on how we can also include members who are currently overseas and would like to join in?
