Hello everyone
I warmly welcome you to this book club and I am extemly excited to read the new novel of Emily Henry. I am sure we are going to read a funny story. Pun totally intended. 😉
All of you will receive a copy of the book via post within the next days. To all the readers who haven’t won a copy: You’re invited to join this reading group with your own book if you’re interested in reading along & discussing the book.
I’m very much looking forward to our discussion. Leave a comment below – what interested you in taking part in this group and reading this book in particular? Do you usually read English books, or is this a new experience for you? And have you red other books by Emily Henry?
How our book club works 📚
Our book club starts next week on Tuesday, 14st May. You should have received your reading copies by then and we can start with the first chapters together. In the meantime, you can already chat and get to know one another in the comments below.
We’ll read “Funny Story” in three parts and will discuss the different sections here in our conversation thread (in written form). We’ll chat about impressions, thoughts, themes, criticism etc. Once we’ve finished the book, you’ll each write and share a personal review of the book here in the community.
Our reading plan 📖
- Week 1: Until May 21st, we read and discuss pages 1-128
- Week 2: Until May 28th , we read and discuss pages 129-251
- Week 3: Until June 4th, we read and discuss pages 252-384
The discussion 💬
Since we probably all have a slightly different reading pace, we’ll always start our discussions on Fridays. That way we avoid potential spoilers during the week. I’ll open our discussions on Fridays when you can start sharing comments and thoughts on the chapters we’ve read. If you need a bit longer to finish the planned section, take your time and join the conversation at any point after Friday. After the weekend, we’ll then start with the next section, and so on…
Best wishes,
Belana
