http://www.writinggooder.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BookClubPoster1.jpg Hey, YWS! I know what you've been thinking. For those of us in the Northern hemisphere, Summer's just begun showing herself, students have summer vacation around them like a scarf, and you're probably thinking to yourself, "I should read a lot of books since I have all this free time." We were thinking exactly the same thing. So we have just the thing to help you out: YWS's The 10 Books of Summer From June 22nd to August 24th, we'll be reading a book a week and discussing our reactions to the plot, characters, craft, and impressions of each work. Led by the helpful posters over at Writing Gooder , who will post a discussion starter every Saturday (and reminder posts on the preceding Wednesdays for those of us whose memories aren't exactly the best), YWS will engage site-wide around the table of what we like best: books. Here's the schedule so far: 1. The Great Gatsby with Stella Thomas (June 22nd) { PDF } 2. The World's Wife with Rydia (June 29th) {*} Please note that The World's Wife contains mature content. 3. The Little Prince with Hannah (July 6th) { PDF } 4. The Giver with Penguin Attack (July 13th) { PDF } 5. Before I Fall with Elinor Brynn (July 20th) "What?" you say. "I thought this was The TEN Books of Summer!" And you're right, but the last five are up to you ! Nominate books you'd like to see discussed site-wide here on the announcement thread, and we'll schedule through August 24th for a full ten books. All you have to do is read and write. You can do that, right? See you June 22nd! * links to poems from The World's Wife , in the order they appear in the book: 1-7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
