Tonight at 8:30pm ET, the window below will go live with a text-based chat, and we’ll be there, beverages in hand, ready to discuss To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
If you’ve participated in the book chats we’ve hosted before, the format is the same: I ask nosy questions, I concoct silly polls, and we chat about the book for about an hour.
I hope you’ll join us for our first Smart Bitches Book Club chat of 2017!
Talk to you very soon!!
Ugh, I was so excited for this book club and I totally went on this page (to browse SBTB, my favorite Internet activity!) just a few minutes after the chat ended! Of course, I also forgot to read the book, though I did buy the Kindle version in preparation…also, in my defense, two weeks ago my Kindle did this weird thing for like the 3rd or 4th time, where when I put it on wireless when the battery is low it removes all books from the Kindle and I have to download them from the cloud again; given that I have 1300 Kindle books and am new to Goodreads I then started out on a project of slowly downloading while ranking things I’ve read before and marking the embarrassingly-numerous TBRs (lots of free books I never touched; free books are like sirens to me, they call to me and will not be denied because free), so I got completely distracted with starting from the beginning of the alphabet to classify things (on the plus side, I’m really enjoying a Pamela Aares romance about rescuing sea lions that I’d totally ignored/missed before!).
Anyway, it looked like a fun chat but I’m sure it will make sense once I’ve read the book myself. Now off to finish a book for my in-person book club this week and I hope that you do this online chat again soon! (I will, uh, maybe actually write the date and time down next time.)
Hey Cat!
I’m so sorry you missed the chat. We’ll be back in April for another book club discussion, and I hope you can join us then!
I ended up not finishing the book, but I really enjoyed reading the chat transcript…and it helped me put my finger on what put me off, which I hadn’t been able to figure out. “Cringey” situations are sort of my anti-catnip–there are a lot of TV and movie comedies I can’t watch for the same reason–so when I realized where the plot was going I really didn’t want to stay with it. The next movie and book sound much more up my alley, so I’m looking forward to joining in!
Hi Janine! Yes, I struggle a lot with cringe-comedy in tv and movies, too. And it was difficult for me in this story, too. I hope you can join us for the next book club chat, and for the movie discussion!
