Varsha’s comments from the Fictional Fortress group.

Hi there everyone :)

We've come up with fun plan that we think you're all going to love.
As you know, Stardust by Neil Gaiman, one of our September books was adapted into a movie so obviously, we should watch it after reading the book, right?

How about we watch it together?

Here's how it's going to work.

1. Read Stardust by September 26, 2015 (Saturday)

It's a quick 250-page read. If you have any troubles getting the book, send us an email and we'll do what we can to help you out.

2.Watch the movie, Saturday night

Time:
9PM IST
3:30PM GMT
11:30AM US Time

We'll live-tweet throughout the movie using #stardustwithff

And at the end of the month, we'll have a book-movie discussion right here.

If you have any questions, drop in an email or comment below :)
We hope you'll join us for this movie watch-along.

See you there :)

Can we post reviews of movies here?"

Movie reviews you say? Why not? I'll create a separate discussion thread if you're all interested :)

Haha yes ma'am. I'll definitely read it next week :) And Niv, don't forget to post books from your tbr :)

I saw this in another group and thought it was a fun way to recommend books so here it it :)

If you have a few books to read and you're not sure which one to pick, post any 4 books from your tbr here. The next person to comment will pick a book out of the 4 and you'll have to read that. And repeat :)

Example. Here are four books I've been wanting to read.



Now, the next person to comment will choose a book for me and post any four books from their tbr.

I just finished Between Shades of Gray and I think I'll read The Book Thief next since I'm in the mood for more such books

Hey everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the August reads :)

Just wanted to add an update here. I'm starting Between Shades of Gray now and I'm excited despite the book's setting because I love historical fiction.
