IWAKU SUMMER BOOK CLUB


The books chosen based on popular votes and the planned dates for chapter readings are here! You can open your book, ebook, or audiobook and start right now! @MaryGold and/or I will be posting in this channel every week as a reminder of what chapters the group should be on as well as a reminder for every VC session for live discussion. Mary or I will be hosting one live discussion for each book. The date will be set at least one week before the book is finished. I hope you'll be able to catch at least one!

Even if you are unable to join one of those sessions, know that the Summer Book Club channel is always open on Discord for chatting or feel free to drop thoughts here. All we ask is that you please remember to put any spoilers in spoiler tabs with warnings if the group has not reached that part of the book. Otherwise, we encourage all the activity for it in the channel, book comments, pointed details discovered, memes, etc.

If anyone needs a copy of any of the books, PM myself or Mary and we will be happy to share one you can use on an electronic device.

HAPPY READING!

UNOFFICIAL EXTRA BOOK:
#teamguncle

Since there has been so much interest in The Guncle, we will be adding it to book club…UNOFFICIALLY.

The Guncle isn't very long so let's divide that over 3 weeks as well. It can easily be read in conjunction with Mort or Blackout.

Week 1: Prologue-Chapter 8
Week 2: Chapter 9-18
Week 3: Chapter 19-31

Because it isn't official I won't attach it to any schedule. Do keep anything about the Guncle in spoilers. Let's say… at least until we start Addie Larue.

Happy Reading bookclubbers!
 
Week 2 Reading time! This week we will continue Mort and move on to pages 123-202.
How's everyone enjoying the book so far? Remember, if you've read ahead, please use spoilers.
 
Week 3. It's time to finish Mort! This week we finalize the book. Get to reading! 📖
 
AAANND That's a wrap for Mort! How has everyone enjoyed our first book club pick?!
Take to Discord to discuss the book.

@MaryGold will be hosting a Voice Chat on the Discord Sunday, July 21 at 2pm CST to discuss the book. You don't want to miss out!

This week we begin reading BLACKOUT!

And unofficially, we will be finishing up The Guncle along with Blackout for those that haven't read it yet. It will be open to discussion after Blackout is over. Since it is unofficial, you do not need to read the book but it will be fun to discuss!

Week 1 done of Blackout. How's everyone enjoying this new book?
This week we tackle Chapters 15-30.
 
It's Friday! This week we work on finalizing Blackout! Some of us have finished but hold your spoilers for now or use spoilers tags!

Also, if you chose to read The Guncle, we will begin having discussions on that book next week as well. So get to reading!
 
And that's a wrap on Blackout! Phew, that one left many of our book clubbers with a mix of emotions. Some weren't fans, others enjoyed it, others were in the middle.

This week we start out final book, "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue"! Everyone is very excited to dig into this one. So if you're not in the book club, join us on this 4 week adventure! This week we will be reading thru Part 1.


UPDATE! We will be skipping the VC for Blackout and will instead do a VC at the end of Addie LaRue! We will also be discussing our unofficial book "The Guncle" so if you haven't read it yet, go out and get it!
