Book Club Begins with ‘Thief’

bookthief

Westwood’s newest club, Book Club, met for the first time on Wednesday, October 30. Together, the members of the club decided to begin by reading The Book Thief.  Sophomore Marwa Gujarathi, president of the club,  strongly encourages anyone with a passion for reading to join. She started the club as a way for students of all grades to come together and discuss their favorite books.

Book club will also provide help with English to people of all grades. They plan on reading Wonder, The Mortal Instruments series, Divergent, and many more. They will also read classics to provide practice for analyzing school-assigned books. For anyone who needs volunteer hours, the members also plan on visiting elementary schools to read to the kids there.

“I really like the idea of a book club that also does volunteer work. I don’t have much time to read on my own anymore but this club gives me an opportunity to do what I love,” said freshman Shruti Patil.

Meetings are every other Wednesday in room E2210, Ms. Bramlett’s room. Contact [email protected] or join the Westwood Book Club Facebook group for more information.

About the Contributor
Shreya Dasari, Editor in Chief
Hello, I’m Shreya Dasari, and I’m the Editor in Chief for The Horizon. I’ve been on the Student Press staff since my freshman year. I like to sleep a lot and consequently, I’ve been forced to preset “oops” to autocorrect to “sorry, I was sleeping” on my phone. I listen to every genre of music and one of my many talents includes being able to identify any song and its artist by the first five seconds. My favorite color is red, but sometimes I change my mind and tell people that it’s black just to mess with them. I also dance, sometimes. Occasionally, I bake. I love raccoons. I’m obsessed with raccoons. They love trash, and I am Trash, so therefore, raccoons love me.
