Leeds Book Club

February 2018 - This month I have mostly been reading

Join @BookElfLeeds and I for a chat about what we've been reading this month. From slightly smutty novels to book club low scores to holocaust denial...we like to think we've been keeping it varied... Note - there might just have been a glass of wine involved in this production...

Ep 24 - Jan 2018 - This month I have mostly been reading...

@BookElfLeeds is back with a new reading challenge! Join us as we converse Christmas spirit and where to find it - books, movies, hallmark - we meander happily through all the seasonal tropes!

The Quest for the Christmas Spirit

Jess (@BookElfLeeds) provides us with an update of her Modern Mrs Darcy Reading Challenge of 2016. With 6 books read; she's at the halfway mark already! From historical fiction to librarian-readers-recommendations books (oooh, secret knowledge!) to coming-of-age to raunchy reading for teens - join us for a fascinating voyage of literary wonder!!

Ep 22 - Book Elf Leeds Reading Challenge Update

After the recent showing of Never Let Me Go (part of the Human Nature season) by @MinicineYorks, we held an after film discussion comparing the book to the film. The sound is a tiny bit hollow but the chat was ace!

Ep 21 - MINIcine - Never Let Me Go

LBC and @BookElfLeeds join forces to discuss the Modern Mrs Darcy reading challenge. From book blurbs to stickers to authors to recommendations and must reads - it's our bookiest booky chat in ages!

LBC EP20 - 2016 Reading Challenge

LBC is joined by the fabulously funny Minicine team - Woody and Abi - for a chat about all things film, short film, social cinema and CAKE! We discuss the origins of Minicine, its exciting plans for 2016 and cat videos! Probably the most enthusiastic podcast you'll hear this year!

LBC EP19 - Conversations with MiniCINE!

Tom (@ArtsMindsLeeds) takes Niamh (@LeedsBookClub) around one of the art exhibitions!

Culturally Minded EP03 - 'I'll edit that out' (and then I didn't)

Tom (@ArtsMindsLeeds) and I meet up to discuss comics - the Movement, Look Straight Ahead, 2 Kill and Psychiatric Tales; books - The Girl on the Train; Tom's Recommendation - In and Out of the Kitchen and exciting events coming up soon!

Culturally Minded EP02

Tom (@ArtsMindsLeeds) and I say hi and introduce Culturally Minded - the new project from Sharing Stories!

Culturally Minded EP01 - Structured yet nicely vague

This is *NOT* a LeedsBookClub podcast! When Shona and Niamh get together, the craic is always mighty. So this is our first podcast together! We want to discuss all manner of Geeky topics from our own wonderful and wild perspective! If you like the sound of us/it - let us know by dropping us a tweet @EllieJayden and @Drneevil!

Testing Testing...Is anybody out there!!

ADULT! Horror! A short story by Owen Elgie, recorded as an audio tale by Niamh Foley (LBC).

True Love - A short story by Owen Elgie

LBC is joined by Tom from @ArtsMindsLeeds - one of the genius minds behind the Sharing Stories campaign. We discuss fiction as a learning tool for mental health awareness and our upcoming book club chatting about Notes from an Exhibition by Patrick Gale

Sharing Stories

LBC is joined by Ross Young - the author of the Gloomwood Series. We discuss the first - Dead Heads - before exploring his writing style and the world of self publishing!

Interview with Ross Young

To hoards of SF fans, Claudia will always be General Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5 - one of the greatest SF characters in one of the greatest SF TV series EVER. However - as you'll hear during our chat - she's a true renaissance woman, with a diverse range of activities and creative outlets. She writes. She sings. She enjoys food, travel and books. She's even written a few herself! All that on top of portraying countless memorable characters across tv and film. AND single handedly destroyed a small fleet. Intimidating? Just a touch.

Interview with Claudia Christian

All things cultural in the Leeds and Yorkshire area - from books to plays and music and back again! http://leedsbookclub.com/
