From The Dreamers' Classic Book Club

Hi everyone, this session will be one to discuss our October/fall reads and to mention what got us into this season's vibes! Weather it is about horrors and gothic and unsetteling tales, or about cozy ones that make you curl up with a book, please bring your recommendations and your speculations about the literature you have recently loved. 🎃 As always, feel free to bring along a physical copy of your book for our tradition of a group photo and to share the joy of the cover with others! 📚 **P.S.** This is a small book club, and your absence can make a big difference! Please sign up only if you really plan to make it, and cancel well in advance if your plans change so that others will have a chance to join as well. Thank you\~ 🎃

Sat, Oct 24, 8:30 AM
From Fantasy & Rêveries Groupe de lecture fantasy et imaginaire
4.9

Décalé au 24 octobre pour vous permettre d'acheter l'édition de poche, qui paraîtra le 1er octobre ! **Pour la rentrée, nous vous proposons de lire ce livre écrit et illustré par la talentueuse Anouck Faure, Aatea !** Venez rencontrer d'autres lecteurs de l'imaginaire pour échanger sur ce livre et vos lectures. **Modalités pratiques :** \- Nous nous retrouvons le samedi 24 octobre de 10h30 à 12h30 au Murphy \- Nous échangerons pendant 1h sur le livre de la séance et 1h sur nos lectures du moment\. \- Si nous sommes dans un café\, le café demande une consommation \(café\, thé etc\.\) \- Pour préserver des échanges en groupes de taille raisonnable\, nous serons sur deux tables de 10\, réparties par tirage au sort :\) **Pourquoi ce livre ?** Ce livre a été élu démocratiquement par nos membres :) Il s'agit d'un one shot illustré, sorti en janvier 2025. En voici le résumé : Navigateur capable de diriger son voilier solaire sur les océans en suspension de la Nuée, Aatea n’en demeure pas moins un paria aux yeux de son peuple : né en mer, il ne possède pas le filament, cet organe symbiotique qui permet aux siens de coexister avec de gigantesques îles vivantes. Seules ses expéditions maritimes l’aident à endurer la servitude à laquelle le contraint le système des castes. Or, après une attaque de pirates qui coûte la vie à tous ses passagers, Aatea perd le droit de naviguer. Il choisit alors l’impensable : fuir la sécurité des îles, tout abandonner et suivre les traces de sa grand-mère, une exploratrice dont les récits ont bercé son enfance. Tandis qu’un froid inhabituel s’abat sur le monde, Aatea part seul sur les flots instables, déterminé à voyager plus loin que quiconque. Cependant, dans la Nuée, où tout se dévore et se déchire, de nombreux dangers guettent le navigateur ; des dangers mais aussi des rencontres, de celles qui ancrent une vie et lui donnent un sens. Le récit est ainsi un récit d'aventure, mais aussi de réflexion sur comment trouver sa place dans la société, changer de place, et créer du lien. À très vite pour échanger avec vous ! Flora & Adrien

ET SI ON SE LISAIT NOS EXTRAITS FAVORIS ?

ET SI ON SE LISAIT NOS EXTRAITS FAVORIS ?

Sun, Oct 25, 3:30 PM
From Club de lecture - Les Mots Passants
4.9

* Que diriez-vous d'un nouvel épisode de notre petite formule de "lecture plaisir" à haute voix ? Je vous en rappelle le principe : Chacun apporte un extrait de roman qu'il chérit particulièrement, le lit à tous, puis, sur quelques indices, tente de faire deviner qui en est l'auteur/e, et enfin, s'il le souhaite, tente l'explication du pourquoi de cet attrait particulier pour ces mots partagés. Afin de jouer pleinement le jeu, chacun apporte le livre dont est issu l'extrait (5 pages max.) en masquant sa couverture et a en tête 2-3 choses notables ( ou plus ;) ) sur son auteur/e pour répondre aux questions des oreilles attentives qui chercheront son identité. **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr/e d'être présent/e le jour J. et si vous avez un extrait chouchou (parce que beau/marquant/questionnant/drôle/troublant ...etc ... etc) à partager. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre et faire naître de nouvelles envies de lecture !
