QL Virtual Book Club

By landloverreview

Hope all good.

I have been thinking about this for a long time.

I don't ask you to be disconnected from real life socialising as we already have a book group, book club 1 from Zahira and book club two by Tinker but not all of us are comfortable with meetings etc as some of us very busy and some of us have time but don't like meeting new people, some of us are very introvert and have considered themselves as socially awkward personalities. Considering all these factors I would like to have a virtual book club where we don't have to meet somewhere and discuss , we can just do it here online.

We will follow the Democratic Principles and will read books accordingly and we will discuss it as we go or after we finish reading it. As we will be using QL as media, we will surely be following their basic guidelines.

Your inputs are welcome.

One meeting after we finish one or few books.. each meeting one moderator to moderate the discussion panel. Everyone of us will be involved.

Good Morning n1v9n, it is going to be very simple. We will choose a book and will read it say in two weeks or a month and then after we finish reading we will discuss about it like how did you enjoy it or your thoughts and reviews about it , anything which had impact on your learning, thoughts, and impact on society, will recommend it to others etc..

Yes my dear. No worries. :) Availability and convenience will surely be considered. :) The Entries deadline is on Thursday and then we will choose a day/time which is convenient for all of us. :)

make a note: some might find it convenient during office hours...some after office hours.

I suggest keep it on friday or saturday which are weekend time and easier for all to be available :)

Will wait for more entries.

We will have a moderator ( Not like Mr.MOD in QL), s/he will moderate the discussion panel, and will plan the way we will discuss and will conclude the meeting. Part of the moderator's job is to choose the next book by votes and choose a moderator for the next book, so that everyone can get a chance. One book - one moderator. :)

You are requested to have your inputs as well.

No need to share your name, mobile, social media or show up physically.

for any meeting please make a PM group for those who are interested and any thing related to venue / date / day / time should be done only thru that PM group or lets say QL BOOK PM GROUP :)
