I have always been a huge bibliophile. I love books. I love reading, I love getting lost in a good story, I love collecting books and shopping for books and it never feels right when I don't have books around. I'm one of those weird people that collects old books and multiple copies of my favourites. I studied English in college, I've always been a creative writer, and books are my life.
As I've gotten older, it's been a bit more difficult to read as much as I'd like to, so I've always really liked the idea of a book club. So I've decided to try a blogger book club, and there's been some interest in this idea, so I've teamed up with my friend Kay from The Desert Bibliophile to get this going.
Introducing The Evil Queen Book Club
Here is the plan:
- We read a book a month. Each book will be by a female author, or will feature a strong female character.
- Each blogger will be in charge of selecting a book for the whole club to read for the month. This book can be classic or contemporary fiction, YA, poetry, or nonfiction/biography. That blogger will also be in charge of posting 3-5 discussion questions for the rest of the group to answer which will kick off a discussion.
- At the end of the month, each Book Club Member will make a post in their blog with a summary, their thoughts, and the answers to the discussion questions. Once posted, links will be submitted to me so that I can keep a masterpost.
- I'll keep a masterpost of everyone's posts so that we can comment back and forth, talking about what we've read!
If you're interested in participating, please leave the following information in a comment below:
- Name
- URL of your blog
- Twitter handle (if you don't have twitter, please leave another way to contact you)
Once I've got all this information collected, we can start reading!
