Hey guys, it’s no secret that I want to start a book club here at UNB, and we’re going to give it a shot with the Männer Tanga book! The Männer Tanga is a book all about thongs—I think it’s one of the first books dedicated to a style of underwear!
How will the book club work?
You have to buy the book. You can get the book from the UNB Store or, if you are in Europe, from the Männer Tanga site. I don’t think we will see this in libraries, and there is no digital format.
Then you have to read the book. It’s approximately 130 pages. It’s the perfect beach read to wear with your thong!
We will host our first-ever live show through Riverside, allowing readers to call in and share their opinions. PLUS, we will have one of the Authors in the book club.
I will create a study guide for the book club and include questions for you to weigh in on. This will be posted a week before the book club show.
Don’t worry if you can’t make the live show; we’ll post it as a podcast. The date and time are to be announced.
Things to know about Riverside.
You need a Chrome-based browser to participate. If you have the app, it will not allow call-ins and must be on a laptop or desktop.
You don’t need an account to join. We will provide a link that you can use to join, just like you would for any other live event.
We are just doing audio for this and no video.
I’m working on setting up the time and date; please note that it will be early on a weekend morning due to the time difference between Germany and Atlanta.
I’m back doing art and wanted to share some of my newest pictures. This is one of the new favorites and I hope you guys enjoy the art and go follow me on Insta or BlueSky for more.
