While the Words on the Waves writers’ festival wound up on June 3, the organisation’s book clubs and author talks continue throughout the year as part of the Central Coast Reads program.
The free Coast-wide reading program encourages organisations, local libraries, book clubbers and individuals to read the same book to foster larger conversations about reading, important themes and to engage with others in the community.
People can buy the book from their local bookstore, borrow from a library or read online.
A range of events will be held where people can meet others and discuss the book, host their own book clubs with support materials available and attend a session where the author will be present to talk about the book.
The latest Central Coast Reads event was a huge success, when author Judy Nunn featured in conversation with Suzanne Leal as part of the festival proper on June 1.
The next book for focus is The Torrent by Dinuka McKenzie, with dedicated Book Club sessions to take place at 10am on Friday, July 5, in both Woy Woy and Kincumber.
You can register to attend one of the sessions at wordsonthewaves.com.au/central-coast-reads/
You need not have read the book to attend and seniors are especially welcome.
The subsequent author talk will take place at 10am on Friday, August 16, at Kincumber Library.
Bookings for the free event are recommended: https://wordsonthewaves.com.au/central-coast-reads-author-talk-dinuka-mckenzie/
The September/October focus will be on The Woman in the Green Dress by Tea Cooper with an author talk to happen in October.
