Even if you are not listed above but you read a book during this reading period/ you decided to read a different book than listed- you are very welcome to share and discuss here too!
Time to share your thoughts with your coven! 
This discussion post will serve as a place to share your thoughts and opinions on the book you chose.
If you loved your book and think everyone should read it- awesome! Talk about your favorite points or something you learned.
If you didn’t connect with the book- consider explaining why it wasn’t for you.
Absolutely hated your book of choice? Warn others to stay away!
This is a great place to share your love for books and find recommendations for new books to read 
Your book review can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like 
If you’re not sure what to talk about, here is a suggested format you can use. Feel free to write as little or as much as you’d like!

Remember that your review is uniquely yours- this is a chance to let your opinions and voice be heard 
Please keep in mind that others may have opinions that differ from yours- when responding to the thoughts of others please always show respect! Remember that 100 people will read 1 book and have 100 different experiences. That’s what makes sharing interesting 
What if I didn’t finish my book / joined late? 
No worries!
You are welcome to share your thoughts about the part you have read so far. If you joined the session late and have just started, feel free to talk about your expectations for your book. You can continue reading it into the next reading period.
And whether you read a book or not - you are very welcome to jump in and discuss what others share about their books! 
Deadlines and Dates 
You have 5 weeks to share your thoughts and discuss (until the next Readers’ Review Post appears in the forum!)
Deadline for Reviews for this Session: Friday, September 13
While you have plenty of time for reviews, know that the next reading period will begin in one week:
The Next Reading Session will Begin: Friday, August 16
On this day a post will appear where you can announce your next book (or continue with your current reading!).
Until then, you can find more info about the club in the Book Club FAQ.
It can be hard to find the time and motivation to read on your own- hopefully book club helped provide a bit of motivation and that it led to some wonderful new knowledge and discoveries in your Craft 
A note that after this 40th Session of Book Club, the club will be changing hands - going forward, book club sessions will be run by the very capable and well-read @MeganB 
I hope you enjoyed your books this session, and that you’ve got another fun one in line to read this coming month.
Happy reading and blessed be! 
I might have to pick up a copy of this book. It sounds lovely!
Another book to add to my wishlist for future reading! I mean… just don’t look at my current stack…
