    • In Englische Leserunde: «As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow» by Zoulfa Katouh

      Hi everyone

      I’m thrilled to announce the 20 winners that will be part of our reading group for “As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow“:
      @AnaRPG @Another_Bookstory @Bamie @bookwormt @Carol16 @denkzeiten @fiona-fiona-fiona @Frani @havntgottimetoread @Horapolo @Jack-The-Russell @Kessy @LupaLou @MDSOMA @Patrick72 @RadioSilence @SaraBooklove @SKhan @stephiesheena @Taamaaraa-lein

      Congrats and welcome to our reading group! 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?

      How our book club works 📚

      Our book club starts next week on Tuesday, 21st March. 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 “As Long as the Lemon Trees grow” 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 March 28th we read and discuss pages 1-130
      • Week 2: Until April 4th we read and discuss pages 131-281
      • Week 3: Until April 11th, we read and discuss pages 282-419

      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…

      Q&A with the author ✨

      After we’ve finished the book, author Zoulfa Katouh will join our reading group on Thursday, April 12th at 6pm to answer your questions! The Q&A will take place in written form here in our discussion thread. You’ll be able to post your questions and Zoulfa Katouh will answer them live. So make sure to already think of some questions while you read. 😉 More infos on the Q&A will follow.

      Best wishes,
      Fanny
