All Ears Book Club

For fans of audiobooks and podcasts…

A new book club down here in the south west suburbs of Edinburgh! We meet monthly on a Wednesday evening at The Hub@531 in Juniper Green (531 Lanark Road, Juniper Green) from 7pm to 9pm, and we’re keen for people to join us. Meetings are usually on the second Wednesday of the month, but do check first in case the next date has changed for any reason.

We’re a little different from other book clubs: we listen rather than read. And we will listen to anything. Books (of course), but there’s also a whole world of podcasts, plays, TED talks … anything that can be spoken is fair game. It’s early days yet, but so far we have listened to a book about conspiracists by investigative journalist Jon Ronson, followed by a comparison of UK and US political podcasts. Our listen for December is The Finest Hotel in Kabul by Lyse Doucet. Who knows what will come next, could be anything from Homer to Jilly Cooper….

Our next meeting is 14^th January. Join us and become part of the story!

(p.s. you can find us on Facebook or, if that’s not your thing, you can email Liz or Mairi on allearsbookclub@gmail.com for more information. Or just turn up!)
