May’s book pick
Everything you need to know about May’s book club pick📚
On Monday we took to our Instagram stories with a poll to decide on our read for May (our first ever online club pick, eeeek).
You went for Yellowface by R.F Kuang!
We’re so excited to get stuck into this. Here’s a bit about the book…
Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang
When Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own. But as evidence threatens June’s stolen success, she will discover exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
“Writing is the closest thing we have to real magic. Writing is creating something out of nothing, is opening doors to other lands. Writing gives you power to shape your own world when the real one hurts too much.” - Rebecca F. Kuang
Our first ever book club meeting!
There’s around 6 weeks to read the book, so plenty of time to get stuck in. We’ll be discussing the book on Sunday the 2nd of June at 10:30am (a link to join will be shared to paid subscribers in the chat). On the same day straight after the call, we’ll also have a discussion in the chat sharing some of the same (and new!) questions in relation to the book.
Meet the Story Social community 💖
We’ve decided to have a little introductory call for our paid subscribers (almost like a little launch party, but think cups of tea on a cosy Sunday morning, book-related chat & useful free resources). We’d love if you could join us!
The Intro Call is taking place on Sunday 28th of April at 10:30am. We’ll share the zoom link with you ahead of time! Can’t wait to see you there.
There’s still time to become a founding member!
We have a few spots left to join us as a founding member.
As a founding member you have access to the following:
Entry to all in-person book clubs for the year
Access to the zoom book club & exclusive paid subscriber book chat
Your say on our top 3 books for the month!
All exclusive posts and offerings from us
Reminder to join the chat for all the latest updates
The chat is where we’ll be sharing all of the useful links, info and ways you can get involved. If you haven’t downloaded the Substack app yet, we definitely recommend this, so you can pop into the chat whenever. If you prefer the desktop version of Substack, that has access to the chat functionality too.
Speak soon,
