As you know, I’ve been reading An Abundance Of Katherines by John Green. Last night, I finished it!
I tweeted out if anyone would like to participate in a Blog Book Club. Melissa from The Hopeful Wayfarer was one of the ones who replied, saying it sounded like fun, but she doesn’t have the book yet.
If you are interested, I think it would be a great way to advertise your blog, make friendships, and discover awesome books.
About once a month, we’ll decide on a book (I am most open to suggestions) and a due date. After reading, tweet out discussion questions (using the hashtag #BekahsBooks), and we’ll discuss it together on the blog.
Honor where honor is due, I will link back to your Twitter/Blog/Etc if your question is chosen. I want to share the love and bring traffic to your site as well.
As I just finished An Abundance Of Katherines, let me know if you want time to read it yourself before we discuss the book. Otherwise, readers who have read it in the past (it’s not a recent book) can participate.
Comment below with any questions or interest.
In my past book reviews, I do a light mention of sex/love, violence/gore, drugs/alcohol content, etc, if you were wanting to avoid such topics as those (or at least have an understanding of how explicit the content is). Let me know if you would like a continuation of that.
I hope you choose to participate, and I’m looking forward to our first Blog Book Club!
This sounds like something I’d be interested in! I read An Abundance of Katherine’s a while ago but I can’t remember the story fully, so maybe I’ll have to give it a re-read!

Do you have a certain date in mind as to when “An Abundance of Katherines” will be discussed?
LikeLike
I’m thinking in two weeks (by the end of next week). So those who have read it can refresh their memory and comment in discussion. And so those who haven’t, can begin reading the new book with the rest of us. Does that make sense?

Since it’s during the semester…eh…a…while. Maybe I wouldn’t be the best choice for this

That’s okay. You’re most welcome to shoot out discussion questions even if you don’t finish (or crack) the book. So don’t feel excluded =-)

All right! Now I’m compelled to trudge over tomorrow in the freezing cold to the one campus library that has a copy (College Library, AKA the far away one).

Of course you can! I’m wanting to discuss An Abundance Of Katherines in about two weeks, unless anyone wants more time. Then we’ll announce the next book to read (we’ll get about a month to read that one so everyone has enough time). Glad to have you join!

Read the book and tweet out discussion questions using the hashtag #BekahsBooks. On March 20th, I’ll write a post with the best discussion questions chosen (linking back to the bloggers to give them credit) and we’ll discuss it in the comments! It’ll be fun. And it’s never too late to join!
