    'Literati' - The Singapore Book Club!

    Hello to all members of the Singapore Shelfari

    After a long drawn discussion on forming an actual book club in Singapore, with the support of Anup, Mansi and others, we are finally scheduling the first meeting of Literati - our very own book club!

    As of now, we are 5 of us from this group who are keen: Orion_in, myself, Shobhasri, Bisou and Neon. I know at least another 5 people who are also keen to join.

    So here are the details of the first meeting:

    Date: 15 November 2009 (Sunday)

    Time: 11:30 am

    Venue: Starbucks
    @ 491 River Valley Road
    #01-22/23 Valley Point
    Singapore 248371

    Agenda: Introduction, setting a meeting schedule and getting started.


    The venue might not be the ideal but it is quite central and quieter, so looks like a good place we can have our discussions. Being the first meeting, it should last around an hour or so at the max.

    If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me directly or email literatisingapore@gmail.com

    Please RSVP to me at: literatisingapore@gmail.com by 13 November so that I can make the reservations


    Look forward to hearing from you

    Cheers!

      Hi Shobhasri, We were expecting you! we had a good gathering of 7 people and Rashmi had everything organized. It was a nice introduction of all members and we had a good time. The next meeting will be 6th December, maybe at the National Library. Rashmi will communicate about all details soon.

      That's right Anup, the next meeting is on the 6th of December and the topic chosen for this meeting is Suspense/Mystery. I will post another discussion thread for that.

    Hi, thanks for organising but I'm afraid I have something on first half of the day and can't make it. Hopefully, I can make it for the next one.
