The Benner Daily Book Club Low Down

Hello!!! Tomorrow is the big start of our book club! I am so excited! I hope you are too...

I wanted to give you guys the low down on exactly what this book club will be doing... besides just reading a book. A good one, at that. ;) But, I feel like a book should be talked about. What you like, dislike, what character is your favorite, so on and so forth.

This is how it's going to work. Each week I have set a chapter that everyone should be at. This is averaging 14 pages a day, so please don't be frightened that I am going to make you read at warp speed as most of you think I do. ;) 14 pages is a simple amount. Go to the toilet if that's the only privacy you get. LOL! I promise you that reading 14 pages a day is not an impossible feat.



OK. Now. At 14 pages a day, that's about 98 pages a week... give or take. I have looked through Shiver, and decided that we are going to do discussions by chapters, not pages. This will be easier, and won't leave you stopping mid chapter.
Now. For some, this book may just be too good to put down and you'll finish it in a week. For others, you're super insanely impossibly busy, and some days you may not read an entire page. I get that. No problem. Just make sure and get to the Chapter we will be discussing by the end of the week so you won't have to hear any spoilers. I hate spoilers.

OK, so! Tomorrow, we start to read Shiver! :D Fun fun! Here is the chapters you'll need to read through by next Thursday...

Chapters 1-17
{don't panic! a lot of these chapters are 2-3 pages. they are not all big chapters. i promise.}

Be ready for a discussion VIA TWITTER next Thursday... I am not sure of the exact time yet. I am on West Coast time, but I know a lot of you are on East Coast time, and I think we even have a couple of members that are out of the U.S. all together. PLEASE comment here, and let me know of a time that works best for you. And remember to let me know what time zone you are in, so I can figure it out for myself as well. Once I reach an average time that works for everyone, I will announce it here. I like the idea of using Twitter, because it's live, and we can all discuss it together. I do think it would be great if we all followed each other... then we can see what others are asking/saying. So, in that case... in your comment, please let me know your Twitter Username, so I can list them here for people to follow each other. If you leave me a comment before to late tomorrow, I will do a "book club" follow Friday on Twitter tomorrow for everyone as well. Also, we will be using a hash tag for each tweet on that night. So, after each tweet, save room for #TBDbookclub

OK, I think that's it! I will be sending out your goodies between today and tomorrow. Again, I am sorry they are late. I am a slacker! Seriously sorry. :)
If you have any questions, please either comment them here, or email me: shealynn AT gmail.com




Do you want to know what other books I have planned for all of you in the months to come? OK! But they are not going to be in this order. I just want to give you a slight element of surprise each month. ha ha! Here are 7 books... which means here are the books we will read in the 7 months to come after October. ;)

If you notice, they are ALL first books to a series. ha ha! Don't hate me! But, it would take over 1 years of reading 1 book a month to get through these book series'. So, I am giving you a taste, and if you want to continue the series, PLEASE do! :D I would love that!

OK, here we go!
