Question 1

Do I need to have finished the book before the meeting?

Accepted Answer

You will get the most out of the session if you've finished the book, but we know that life sometimes gets in the way.  Please still come along!

Question 2

Do I have to participate in the discussion?

Accepted Answer

We believe that the Death Book club works best when everyone joins in.  We love to hear from different perspectives, and yours is just as valuable as anyone else's.  BUT, we get it can be scary speaking in a group for the first time, so come as you are and join in as you can.

Question 3

What if I didn't enjoy the book?

Accepted Answer

We're not all going to love every book and that's okay.  If you didn't like this month's book, then share why in the group!

Question 4

Can I listen to the audio book rather than reading it?

Accepted Answer

YES! However you choose to consume the book is fine by us.

Question 5

Can I suggest a book?

Accepted Answer

Sure!  I have tried to be pretty organised and have a list of books that will get us through 2025, but if you have a book that you think fits the bill, please let me know.  If I can fit it in, I will!

Question 6

What if I live in a different timezone?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to join us from wherever you are in the world.  If you need to join from bed in your PJs we won't judge!

Question 7

Do I need to turn my camera on?

Accepted Answer

We love to see your face and believe the book club works best with cameras on, but we get that sometimes this isn't practical.  If you need to leave your camera off, just let us know in the chat.
