Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of June’s book, The Offing by Benjamin Myers (up to the end of ch.6 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll read the first half of a book together (that I've never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month - 25th June), I'll discuss the second half of the book (in this case from ch.7 to the end). We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for July is Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside). The first half podcast will be published on 9th July. Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: There are adult themes throughout the novel (mental health, sexual violence and suicide). I have removed any swear words from dialogue.
