Thank you again to everyone who joined in for last monthās reading session (Reading Session VII)
For those who havenāt yet shared their thoughts about their book (or anyone who enjoys reading book reviews!) you still have time to do so in Spells8 Book Club VII- Readerās Reviews .
As of today, the eight book club reading session has now begun !
Announce your book
The first post below is an editable wiki post- add your book title and name to the list! (instructions below)
The reading period is open for [[ 4 weeks ]]
While it is great if you can finish your book during this time, it is okay if you break it into chapters or sections- do as much as you can and know that doing your best is always good enough!
Share your thoughts
You are very welcome to share any thoughts or tidbits while you read in the comments below or in a new post in the forums. But save the best parts for the final discussion at the end of the reading period!
Final Discussion
After four weeks, a discussion post will open encouraging all readers to share a review of their book and any personal thoughts they have about it. A mini-review is perfectly fine, and there will be a suggested format for anyone who would like to write a longer review.
While everyone is free to choose their own book, you may consider reading along with someone else ! It is fun to share thoughts and insights about different books and even more exciting to do in-depth about a book with fellow readers
If the book you plan to read is already on the list below, add your name to the list of others reading that book! For books with multiple readers, a separate discussion just for you will open for you to swap thoughts and share insights.
Please keep in mind that everyone will reconvene for the final discussion, regardless of which book you read
If youāve read the instruction but are still having a tough time- no stress at all! For anyone who prefers, I am happy to add you in. Just write your book title and author in a normal post and I will take care of it
During the last book club I had stated that I would like to read another amazing book from Patricia Telesco, however I am feeling the need for a change of interest. Will choose another option.
Add your book and your name below the last personās entry. Try the format at the same way as the others have been formatted. In this case a star was used followed by a space followed by two more stars then the title then two more stars then the author and then your name. Yes that is a giant run-on sentence. If you canāt get the formatting, thatās okay because one of the admins will see it and take care of it. Oh, donāt forget to save the wiki after you edit it.
I hope this helps for the next time. I canāt wait to read your review of the book. TheTravelWitch will create a review thread soon. All of the book reviews will go in that thread.
Iām glad youāre so excited @Amethyst! I hope The Horned God of the Witches is everything youāre hoping for
A big thanks to @Susurrus for helping @Saulamay- may you both enjoy your books this session
No worries, @NickWick- may you find another book that interests you!
Thatās an awesome guide, @praecog29- thanks for putting it together! Iāve added a link back to your post in the little āwiki tutorialā post- itās really helpful!
This is a great idea- thanks for suggesting it! Unfortauntely, setting a set time for a discussion can be quite a challenge due to the fact that everyone lives in different time zones and has different schedules
That being said, the wonderful @MeganB kindly hosts an open chat for the Infinite Roots Coven on Thursdays (you can check the most recent Group Ritual post in Activities for more details) . If your schedule and time zone allows it, everyone is free to join the meeting- and I imagine witchy books would be a welcome conversation topic!
Iāve been on the same book Modern Magick for quite some time and I donāt really feel like itās the type of book that should be counted in the book club. Iāve been behind on my reading a little and itās taking awhile to finish. If I get my hands on a simpler book before the deadline I will attempt an entry. I do enjoy my reading on magick but I definitely crave something more specifically witchcraft or wicca. I will make a visit to the local stores sometime soon in hopes that they have something new for me.
This edition of the Book club seems to be the witchiest of all!!
I decided to stay on-topic. I had this book for a while (Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson) and itās great reference but never sat down to read it all.
@Princess_Tara That sounds fun. Once we all are done reading we can arrange on a time that works for everyone who wants to participate. The discussion period begins after July 16.
Follow those cravings, @colin- may they lead you to the perfect book! Book Club is very open when it comes to books- they donāt even need to be witchy books! So please feel free to choose and read any book that calls to you. I hope you can find something that you love!
Enjoy your books and holiday time, @IrisW! The advantage about having multiple things to read is that it increases the chances of finding an amazing book! Have fun
Youāre a legend, @Amethyst! Enjoy your book and your fics!
Nice choice, @Francisco! May you enjoy Mastering Witchcraft
