Mary ♥’s comments from the ThatOneReader's Book Club group.

These ideas all sound incredibly wonderful ♥ And for each month we can have a different theme, to make things interesting :)

Like Fan Fiction?? Or something in general?"

Not necessarily fanfiction. You can do an original story based in this world, or something similar to it. Like, a story with completely different characters and world, that though is sort of 'retelling' the story we will read
But yeah, if someone wants to do fanfic, sure, all things are good
Some may want to write poetry or fan poetry
This counts as well XD

i don't know, I am trying to think of something cool to do ♥♥ Since a lot of people here are writing, I was thinking we shall read something and then those who want shall make a short story competition, with stories of characters from the book

Hello everybody ♥
This has been a tough year, and the next one will also be busy for me, but I really want to revive this club ♥
Any ideas?

Yes, it does make sense :)
We'll be glad to have you here, even in conversations ❤❤

Kiran wrote: "That sounds really cool if you end up doing it again a month or two later I'd be up for it"
We'll actually do it whenever you guys want :)
Ehlana wrote: "I'm down for that! it sounds fun!"
I'm glad :)

So you guys are all busy :(
Well, that sounds bad :(
I figured something cool out instead of a normal readalong though. A Blind Date With A Book event :)
Each of us will give a small description (that won't reveal too much) about a book they love and want to share with the world.
Then, whoever is interested in reading that book will contact that person so they'll tell them what book it is.
The other people, who will not read that book, will try to guess what the book is.
How does that sound?

Hello everybody ♥
How are you guys doing?
September (and autumn) is coming!
What are your reading plans for September, if you have any?
I was thinking we shall do a readalong for this month as well :)

Amazing ♥

Ehlana wrote: "@Lin do you like audio books??"

It seems we'll be the only ones participating :) Wanna read Passenger, since both of us were excited to start/continue it?

Ehlana wrote: "@Mary I have been trying to read passenger! and the new book the Gentleman's guide to vice and virtue~"

So we include Passenger, The Gentleman's Guide To Vice and Virtue, Release...Anything else, guys?

Ehlana wrote: "well I finally got over my reading slump with my last Mayfair witches book. (let me tell you not one of Anne Rice's best.) But! I'M READY TO DO A BUDDY READ OR SOMETHING"

Well, in that case, guys throw to me your recommendations about a buddy read ♥
I recommend Passenger by Alex Bracken or Release by Patrick Ness

Hello everybody?
Shall we continue the TBR reducer readathon on August or do something entirely different? ♥
Do you have any ideas?

Kiran wrote: "I am"

Lin wrote: "Is anyone doing camp nanowrimo this month?"

Good luck for your nanowrimo guys ♥



Ehlana wrote: "@Mary OH MY GOD ME TOO! I love listening to podcast ls while I'm working and I have been neglecting my audio book so hard..but it's so worth it! and nightvale is such a classic! *don't look at the ..."

Indeed ♥ I love it ♥

Ehlana wrote: "Over last weekend I had a mini reading slump because of Lord Of shadows. so I have been reading my favorite Manga. so hopefully! my goal for July is to finish what I'm currently reading and then hi..."

I was in kind of a reading slump because I went back to an old, beloved fandom aka Welcome To Night Vale and all I did was listen to podcasts xD
But I'll finish the things I'm currently reading and then hit the list too :)

Lin wrote: "I have mocks so I don't think I will get any reading done :("

Ohhh
*hugs*
In that case, good luck with everything ❤

Hello eveybody ♥
How does your June TBR reducer go? I hope it goes well ♥♥
I decided that we can marathon books for July either :)
How do you find this?

In case you agree, I made some choices that can apply to lots of books for July. These are:
1) A book that comes out this month
2) A book that is part of a series
3) A book more than one authors have written (collab or short story collection)
4) A book that has to do with books
5) A book that has to do with a conspiracy
6) A book from an author who has passed away

Good luck with the last days of your June marathon ♥♥

Me too <3
I already planned what I'll read :)

I'm glad you guys agree
we start in June:
the books we include are
1) A book with a very big world building
2) A book that you're sure you'll probably love
3) A book from a genre you are not too much into
4) A book with a number of pages that includes (or is) your favorite number
5) A classic
6) A book you really wanted to read but for some reason never started or never finished

You can choose from four to six of the options (no less than four) amd adapt it to your TBR :) <3

Now that summer is approaching with every breath, I was thinking whether we shall do a TBR reducer marathon. Are you guys okay with this? ♥
