I randomly came across the Book-ish Book Club on Twitter and signed up for one month to try it (paperback £12 a month - check out the subscriptions available HERE). My letterbox friendly box arrived on Friday and here's what was inside...
Inside the box is a tissue wrapped book of the month along with some other treats.
This month you get a code for 15% off at the online-bookshop, a cute little pen from Legami, an info sheet and a bookmark (always useful).
Inside is Ali Smith's book Spring (which I haven't actually read!)
"What unites Katherine Mansfield, Charlie Chaplin, Shakespeare, Rilke, Beethoven, Brexit, the present, the past, the north, the south, the east, the west, a man mourning lost times, a woman trapped in modern times?"
"Spring. The great connective"
"With an eye to the migrancy of story over time, and riffing on Pericles, one of Shakespeare's most resistant and rollicking works, Ali Smith tells the impossible tale of an impossible time. In a time of walls and lockdown, Smith opens the door. The time we're living in is changing nature. Will it change the nature of the story?".
"Hope springs eternal"
I'll let you know my thoughts on the book in a monthly book round up. Are you a #BookishCrickBookClub subscriber?
