Old Book Club Thread - Check out the New One!

Note, October 8, 2018: This is the old book club thread, and it is currently inactive. The active Book Club has moved here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/947864/. Please jump over there and take part!

You're welcome to look through our past readings and conversations here--lots of good stuff! And to join in with the current conversations, please head over the New Book Club!

Thanks a million to all the writers and readers who participated here over the past few years! Lots of good times! :) <3 :)

-------Archive------


Welcome to the Book Club! This group is open for everyone who loves to read SimLit!

Book Club follows a three-week cycle. For the first two weeks, we focus on a featured work, with an informal conversation the first week and a focused "coffee hour conversations" the second week. During the first week, please submit your questions for the Coffee Hour to the coffee hour host.

In the third week, we feature a Tasty Read, which is a shorter selection chosen by the nominated "Tasty Read" writer. During this week, we can talk with the nominated writer about writing, inspiration, tips and techniques, and so on.

We currently have openings for twoTasty Read writers! Is there a writer whose work you particularly enjoy? Is there a creative person whom you'd like to talk more with about their creative processes? Nominate that person for a Tasty Read writer!

To nominate a Tasty Read writer, please send a PM to @CathyTea and @swcheppes . We're happy to answer questions, too! :)

Read on!
