Yes! Welcome to #cccubookclub The first rule of #cccubookclub is you have to talk about it! Let’s share the books we’re reading, the authors who inspire us - it can be just a sentence, a picture, a link to a blog, a website, a review. It can be a novel, even a recommended text!

Replying to @BroomKing @cccubookshop @christchurchsu @ccculibrary
Can we make this a thing?! #cccubookclub or maybe it should be #cccubookshopclub 👍 📚 Then here on Twitter discuss the great finds we've found in the bookshop... 🤔 😁

Superb in-depth article in @Slate about how #Shakespeare survived the #plague and how it inspired his work, from #RomeoandJuliet to #Macbeth. Perhaps social isolation will inspire some further literary genius? Read the article here: slate.com/culture/2020/03/sh…
An image of Shakespeare and of a person being lifted onto a cart during the plague era.
