We have already mentioned what we will be doing on this blog, but what we'll really need to talk about is HOW.
Discussing books:
This is kind of self explanatory. Basically, whether you have just read the greatest book in the world, or if you feel prejudice against a book we have suggested, you can start a discussion. If you want to mention just a few things, you can post a comment to start a discussion. However, if your feelings are overflowing and you need to write extensively about a book, we will figure out a way for you to post it. Discussions usually involve two or more people, so if you want to begin a a good discussion, it's great to ask questions to spark the conversation.
Vocabulary lists:
What are we talking about? Well, the vocabulary list a list of words and definitions that will help readers while reading books.What good will it do? When I was reading a book called Anne of Green Gables, there were a lot of old fashioned words that I didn't know. I was able to look up a vocab list online. Later, while I was reading the second book and discovered the same problem, I couldn't find any vocabulary lists online, so I decided to make one for myself (which I will be posting later). I don't know about everyone else, but I find these lists helpful (especially ones I didn't have to make myself) so links to vocabulary lists or other helpful tools for understanding books, will be appreciated.
Challenges!
This was one idea that we really liked. Before starting a book blog, all of my friends and I kept begging each other to read certain beloved books. So this is one way of getting your wishes granted! There are probably many different ways to do this, but one way we came up with is what we call a trading challenge. It's a deal you make with someone where you ask someone to read a book, and in return they ask you to read a book. I don't know why, but once you read what you think is the best book on the planet, you are just dying to share it with somebody. This way, when your friends are hesitant you can pull out a deal, and basically swap books!
Well, that's enough to get started I should think. I hope you all enjoy our ideas, and if you have any of your own, we invite you to share! Thank You!
Oh I think this is a fantastic idea! What is your first challenge book?
ReplyDeleteTo make things more clear, a challenge is not when only we suggest a book.Anyone anytime can suggest a book and talk about it.
ReplyDeleteA challenge is more like when you have an awesome book that you want to share and you find another person who also has a book they want to share with someone else, and you guys make a deal to read each others book.
Does this make more sense?
