i bought an ipad exclusively for reading and completely steered away from the purpose.
i have a tendency to do that.
i have a shit ton of books to read but wasn’t actually reading them.
i started to read a self help book and thought to myself:
I wish I could have discussed this book in a book club!
a week ago,
i randomly posted about starting a book club with my community on the foxhole ig.
i got so many dms about wanting to participate so…
“The Foxhole Book Club:
Getting Real Deep In These Pages”
everything month,
we will read one book and then discuss it during a group call.
i want the book club to focus on black authors,
gay or straight.
what i’d like is everyone’s email who wants to participate.
hit me with an email:
[email protected]
or a DM on my twitter or ig:
@itsjamarifox
…and i’ll send you a survey on what genres you’d prefer.
personally,
i don’t care for sci-fi.
once everyone who participates finishes the survey,
i can figure out what our first book will be!
i’m really excited and can’t wait to meet with you in the club!
I’d recommend getting a kindle if you want a device specifically for reading —
and LMAO @ you hating sci-fi!!! Sci-fi gets a bad rap bc everything thinks the genre reads like Dune but I challenge ANYONE to hate “The Name of the Wind” which is one of the best books I’ve ever read- EVER!
Also N.K. Jemisin is a black, female, sci-fi writer who has won awards wink
I love this idea. I had a question; did you find an IPAD helpful in your reading? I am currently getting into audiobooks that I listen to in the car through my phone, but I have been wanting to get an IPAD hoping it would both encourage and enrich my e-book experience.
Also, I think it’s dope to support black authors; I like heavy books that talk about history, politics, race, the law, etc. do you think any of these types of books would be up for consideration? One issue; however, some of these books are not written by black authors.
Awesome!
Off Topic: Can be please do a post about where to shop, stay and party in NYC? I’m planning a trip as soon as things open back up again. Thanks J
