[Clo]

all general convo going on here

[Emma]

i love how this club just disbanded, we need to bring it back

[Layla]

uproar: bring back the bookclub!!

[🤎]

hi : i just joined the group, and it seems a bit inactive but i just wanted to say hi<3

[Clo]

right everyoneeeee seems we have new members so I say we propose a new book to read/discuss!

[Emma]

Ok what book?

[Emma]

What’s a good book that none of us have read?

[eliza]

the ballad of the sad cafe by carson mccullers. it’s very short so ideal for something like this, but i’m. not sure how widely accessible it is

[Emma]

You just want to read it don’t you 😂

[eliza]

well i got it for christmas so yes… maybe instead though anyone willing to participate in this club can just send a message on this channel saying what books they like and genres they’d fancy reading so we can find common ground

[Emma]

Ok cool

[Clo]

ok so we can do that but I think we should set a date for everyone to have read it by and then I will open up a chat for it and we can discuss. sound good?

[Emma]

So that book?

[Clo]

it’s up to discussion but I don’t see any other suggestions..

[eliza]

yeah unless anyone else has any other ideas we can go with the ballad of the sad cafe

[Emma]

Is it easy to get

[Clo]

Yeah should be just a shame z library got taken down

[Emma]

IKR so annoying

[Clo]

Where am I supposed to download my trashy smut ffs gosh

[Emma]

Is there a different book we could pick

[&#x1f90e;]

i’m fine with reading that, i’ll try and get it or find somewhere online to read it then<3

[Emma]

Perfect! What should the set date be? For us to have all read it?

[eliza]

it’s REALLY short, and emma and whoever else knows me can borrow my copy. due date i feel should be in a couple weeks? depends how soon anyone can get it

[Emma]

Perfect i say end of January or early February if people can’t find it

[Clo]

we can probs speak to olivia about getting a few more copies in the library ( like 1-2 ) cus I think there is already one then go from there?

[eliza]

sounds good. unless there are any objections, i say officiate this as the first official official book club book

[Emma]

Perfect Claudia can you make a separate chat for that

[Clo]

snm

[Clo]

say no more

[Emma]

Thank you

[&#x1f90e;]

yes that’s cool <3

[eliza]

number of users keeps growing, who so far has read the book?

[Clo]

I’m still tryna figure out how to do this
Ibr

[&#x1f90e;]

i’ve finished it, is there anyone who hasn’t yet?

[&#x1f90e;]

now that everyone’s finished the book and it’s february now, should we choose another?

[Emma]

Yes! Something with some plot I suggest.

[eliza]

books without plots are the best what are you talking about!

[&#x1f90e;]

i love books without plots tbh 😭

[&#x1f90e;]

a couple days ago i bought the book “death in her hands” (it’s by the same author as my year of rest and relaxation) and it’s around 250 pages so it isn’t really long. what do u guys think?

[eliza]

ooh ottessa moshfegh

[Emma]

Ooh we can read The light we cannot see by Antony Doer! I’ve wanted to read it for so long

[eliza]

i saw we move to the “recently read” section and just spam general ideas

[Clo]

death in her hands is good but I’d say it just plays into the whole ‘disgusting femcel’ woman trait a bit too much. But I read it a few years ago so I could be wrong

[Clo]

ok I made a new topic so spam away
