Book club UP

Book Club UP – new season, new challenges

In October we started a new reading cycle in our university Book Club. For this year, we have set ourselves two challenges - playing with genres and playing with the letters in the name of our university.

In this academic year, we will follow the slogan of the University #openUP. We will be open in the selection of topics and genres.

From childhood to friendship

Until the first meeting in December, we will re-read a book from our childhood. Or a book we read as teenagers. But this time we will look for a new perspective on its content.

The spring meeting will be devoted to a book that we once started reading and put it down because we didn't like it. We can also choose a genre that we really don't like. This time we will give it a try.

In the summer, when the weather warms up and the days get longer, we will choose a beach read. As “light and fluffy” as we can.

A friend will choose a book for us for the last meeting in October. We will read what someone else chooses for us.

20 books za 20 years

The University of Primorska will celebrate 20 years in March 2023. There are also 20 letters in its name. Throughout the year, we will therefore string the books we have read into acrostics. We will form the name of university from the letters of various books we have read. How?

1. Enter book addresses in such way that one of the letters matches a letter from the name of the university.

2. Letters can be at the beginning or at the end of words and in between.

3. Addresses can be entered mixed, the read order is not important.

4. There are no restrictions about the selection of

5. Send the picture you’ve created to the book club by the end of the academic year.
