BRICKS Virtual Book Club: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Join the BRICKS Book Club on 22nd February to discuss the novel, the movie adaptation, and more.

Our BRICKS Book Club pick for January & February is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë 📚 ⁠

If you’ve taken a scroll on Instagram recently, you’ve probably seen people talking about “Wuthering Heights”. Yes, of course, we’re talking about the historic heartbreaking tragedy of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. But also, Saltburn writer-director Emerald Fennel’s February-release adaptation (starring none other than Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, and soundtracked by Charli XCX), has sparked discourse online for everything from casting to costumes.

Next month, meeting shortly after the film’s release, we’ll be discussing it all: the novel, the film, the soundtrack, the romance, and more – and you’re invited to come join the conversation.

⁠Join us on Sunday 22nd February at 7pm GMT (2pm ET) at our virtual Zoom club meeting to join in and chat with other emerging creatives – plus our Contributing Editor and book club host Hannah Bertolino (Si apre in una nuova finestra) will be sticking around for 30-minutes of mentoring after the call!⁠

⁠Tickets are available to purchase for £5 on Eventbrite (Si apre in una nuova finestra), and BRICKS Learner Platform members can attend for free by adding the free ticket discount code available via Steady. Sign up for your 30-day free trial to join, and – to chat as you read – be sure to sign up to our new Book Club group chat on Whatsapp by filling in this form (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

If you are a paid member, please scroll to the end of this email to access your free ticket discount code.

Below, we’ve included some further information regarding how our virtual book club can benefit you.

FAQs

WHAT HAS CHANGED?

At the end of 2025, we made some changes to how we run the BRICKS Book Club – you can hear all about it here (Si apre in una nuova finestra). We have switched from monthly to bi-monthly, giving our members two months to read each book, so there’s plenty of time to get stuck in.

Additionally, we have moved away from our Discord chat to a Whatsapp group chat to discuss as we read throughout the months. To join, simply fill in this form (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

WHEN IS OUR NEXT MEETING?

WHAT IS THIS MONTH’S BOOK?

The BRICKS Virtual Book Club pick for January & February is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.

WHERE CAN I GET THE BOOK?

If you’re looking for a physical copy and would like independent bookseller recommendations, we’ve started a Master Doc (Si apre in una nuova finestra)to share recommendations of where to support. If you’d like to add a recommendation to the Master Doc, please drop us a message in the Whatsapp group chat – this is being regularly updated.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE CLUB MEETING?

This isn’t a book club where you have to come prepared with talking points, or even finish the book (but if you want to, that’s great!). Come chat and ask questions or just listen and enjoy the discussions – everyone is welcome to join in and feel creative, in whatever way feels most comfortable.

UNDERSTANDING ZOOM WEBINARS

To allow everyone to join the virtual book club and get involved as much as they would like to, Hannah Bertolino will be managing the call via Zoom Webinars. Webinars allow hosts (Hannah & special guests) to speak. If regular attendees would like to speak, they can simply raise their hand, and Hannah will allow them to turn their microphone and/or camera on, but these are both set to off by default. Attendees who would not like to speak can still get involved via the Chat.
