SUMMARY:Truman Book Club Social – Tuesday 30th June
DESCRIPTION:At Truman’s Book Club Social in June\, hosted at Cargo Wines here in Farsley\, we’ll be discussing the book The Power by Naomi Alderman. \n\n\n\nA ticket to attend Truman’s Book Club Social is £18. This includes the book (which will be available for you to collect in the shop once you’ve made a booking online) and your first drink on the evening (beer\, wine or soft drink). If you already have the book\, you can select a ticket that will include a £10 Truman’s Gift Voucher instead of a book. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nA WINNER OF THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION \n\n\n\nAll over the world women are discovering they have the power. With a flick of the fingers they can inflict terrible pain – even death. Suddenly\, every man on the planet finds they’ve lost control. The Day of the Girls has arrived – but where will it end? \n\n\n\n‘Deserves to be read by every woman (and\, for that matter\, every man)’ – The Times \n\n\n\n‘Electrifying’ – Margaret Atwood \n\n\n\n‘A big\, page-turning\, thought-provoking thriller’ – Guardian \n\n\n\nWhen & Where? \n\n\n\nThis Truman’s Book Club Social will take place on Tuesday 30th June\, 6.30pm (for a 7pm start)\, at Cargo Wines\, Sunny Bank Mills. One of the benefits of us hosting our Book Club in a Wine Bar means that when the book chat is done\, if you wish\, you’re free to stay on to continue to enjoy the company and the conversation\, and maybe another drink or two. \n\n\n\nWe’d like a relaxed evening of booky chat\, so if the thought of sitting round in a big circle feels a little intimidating\, this is the Book Club for you. Our aim is to have a more informal feel\, with smaller groups sat chatting around tables. We can help you find a seat and make sure everyone feels comfortable. \n\n\n\nWe’re thinking an hour of chat about the month’s book (and the topics and experiences it leads to). In the future\, we’d love to be able to welcome guest authors to join us to discuss their books. \n\n\n\nHope to see you there!

SUMMARY: The Fall and Rise of the Mölkky Bar Kids 
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in a blazing tale of sporting splendour that began as a pub conversation gone awry. Join Leeds-based Neil Squires on the launch of his new book; an unlikely story of four men from Yorkshire who found themselves crossing the globe in search of international glory. \n\n\n\nHilarious\, moving and surprisingly profound\, The Fall and Rise of the Mölkky Bar Kids is a lesson in enduring friendship\, growing older and the importance of throwing your hat (and your Mölkky stick) in the ring when you’re offered a new adventure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nSuddenly in his mid-fifties\, Neil Squires found himself at a crossroads in life. With a journalism career in oscillation and trips to the barber starting to focus more on his eyebrows than hair\, he desperately craved a sporting adventure akin to the ones he had spent his life reporting on. But when he took up an obscure Finnish throwing game\, he had no idea it would lead him and three school friends halfway across the world\, in ill-fitting Team GB kit\, to compete for the nation\, becoming unlikely Japanese media celebrities in the process. \n\n\n\nTravelling 5\,500 miles from home to Hokkaido in pursuit of a gold medal at the Mölkky World Championships\, with the weight of the nation on their rapidly stiffening backs\, the newly formed Mölkky Bar Kids faced humiliating loss\, unexpected victories\, and learned of the power of writing a bonkers twist into your story at a stage in life when most people begin to disregard you.  \n\n\n\n“As my ghostwriter\, Neil Squires actually managed to make one of my books interesting and funny. This is what you get from him when he isn’t compromised by such poor material.” – Jonny Wilkinson
