Welcome everyone to our very first discussion! Before we jump into this, I'd like to state some simple guidelines to make sure this goes smoothly. First of all, I would like to make this a SPOILER-FREE ZONE. If you have chosen to read on ahead DO NOT HINT AT THE ENDING or give away anything that happens later on in the book. That being said, of course you may discuss theories you have regarding the outcome of the book. If you have read ahead, please try to not let this taint the section we are discussing. Often when we read the entire novel we have a different feel for the book and this will influence your thoughts on the first section. Please try to limit this as much as possible as this will be very apparent to those of us who haven't read ahead. I would also like to say that I am trying to spark a conversation and debates will be inevitable eventually, but please NO ARGUING. I don't want things to get ugly, so please keep your comments relevant to the content. If you disagree with someone, explain your side in a kind and informational way. This will be more relevant once we get into books that cover controversial topics. By following these guidelines, we can keep our conversations fun and enjoyable for everybody!
What can you talk about during our discussions?
You may bring up anything you'd like. It doesn't have to be a deep insight into the novel. If the section we've read makes you think of a song, a work of art, another novel, a television show, etc., please mention it in the discussion! A wide variety of comments are acceptable and encouraged! If you don't have any contributions for a particular discussion, then you do not need to participate. I am trying to create an open space where you can discuss anything you feel is pertinent to our reading, so please share anything that comes to mind!
With that said, I will put up another post now. Please put all your discussion comments on that post. Remember, you can keep posting aka post responses to other posts, add to your post if you think of more comments. You are not limited to one post. Like I said, I'd like to make this into a discussion. If you have any questions about this post or if you feel I have missed an important guideline then please feel free to leave me a comment here. All feedback is welcomed! Thank you all!
Sincerely,
Elysia
