πŸ“š We are delighted to announce the start of our very own Book Club! πŸ“š

A community established for everyone in, or interested in sciences, especially those of you who want to put aside your textbooks and pre-recorded lectures for a little while to enjoy books again and find new and exciting reads. The Book Cub is the perfect place to talk all things books, science and so much more!! Feel free to discuss previously read books or just general interests, this is your chance to meet like-minded people and make new friends!

Here we pick out one book to read together each month and meet up to discuss our reads.
For October we have already picked out 5 books for you to choose from (see above) to get started, however from the following months we will be taking suggestions from you all (find more information on this on the Welcome channel of our discord server). The book with the most votes will be picked as our book for this month.

πŸ“– Which book is your favourite? Have you read any of them before? πŸ“–

🌜 Join our Discord server via the links below, where you can also find the (google) form to vote for your favourite book this month as well as more information about how the Book Club works.

We hope to welcome you to our server and seeing which book you will choose!
