Welcome again to Earthlings Book Club! As Earthlings, we are all about expanding our horizon. Many of us read for hobby, for work or for personal growth. From books, we gain ideas, insights and wisdoms beyond our daily experience. By sharing what we read, we supercharge this process and open our minds to ideas we have never imagined before! It is also a great way to get to know each other. Let's relax and enjoy the weekend with some fun book discussions!
How to join?
In each session, we encourage everyone to share books that they have read (first come first serve)! People who do not have a book to share are also welcome, listen and ask questions :) Just click "attend" on this meetup and we will take it from there.
What kind of books can I share?
Book selected for the meeting day.
Books that are closely aligned with theme of the day.
Books outside the theme of the day are also welcome! Fiction/non-fiction; humanities/science; conventional/controversial; bestsellers/lesser known...any books that would spark interesting discussions. We trust your good judgement and good taste :)
What to expect?
It will be a very casual sharing meetup, not a regular Toastmasters meeting.
Here are some suggestions on what to share, if you choose to speak about a different book.
Who is the author?
Summary of the book
Key plots/ideas
How does this book speak to you?
Who would you recommend/not recommend this book to?
Do you have any questions about the book you still think about?
Any other thoughts/feelings/antidote etc.
We do encourage the sharers to read a short paragraph/some quotes aloud from the book. This will help the audience get a taste of the book. After the sharing, the audience could ask questions or share their thoughts/feelings/antidotes on the subject. The sharer could provide additional information about the book during the conversations. The host will advice when it is time for another book.

This is a completely different format from our regular Earthlings Toastmasters meetings on 2nd (English), 3rd (Mandarin) and 4th (English) Sunday.
Please join with your camera on for transparency. We ask that you respect others’ privacy by not sharing screen shots of other members without their permission.
Look forward to seeing you all soon!
