Hi everyone
Welcome to our book club! You will all receive a copy of “The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King” in the mail in the coming days. I’m very much looking forward to our book discussion. Leave a comment below – what peaked your interest about the book and made you want to take part in this book club? Do you usually read English novels, or is this a new experience for you?
How our book club works 📚
Our book club starts next week on Tuesday, 28th January. 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 the novel 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 (28th Jan - 4th Feb): We read and discuss pages 1-120.
- Week 2 (4th-11th Feb): We read and discuss pages 121-235.
- Week 3 (11th-18th Feb): We read and discuss pages 236-334.
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…
After we’ve finished our last reading week, I’ll invite you to write your final review for the book here in our community.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. 😊
Best wishes,
Fanny
