Have you guy been to Fable yet? It's a fun app where you can participate in reading clubs and even buy books! There's a shelf management source too that you can import your Goodreads account to!

Join me in my "Haunt Me" group to read with me every month!

Panic: How do i host a book-club?

So - i started a bookclub as a way to read recreationally in between my busy study-work schedule (Fulltime Supervisor of an ACE Classroom and part-time Student).

it is two hours before our first meetup and im woefully unprepared to be the extravert i need to be to host thismeetup -being an introvert and all... so i embark on my journey to figure this all out before i go to gym in 20 min.

searching on the web i find a website dedicated to book clubs... when registering, our Group needs a name... soooo here starts a loong discussion among the group members on what our name should be... we have 40 suggestions and counting just by 3 of the 5 of us that are interested in meeting tonight... its been 15mins /im-no-panicking-youre-panicking - but we are all really enjoying ourselves so i created a poll so we can see which names have the most likes and to go from there.

Step 1: Invite fellow readers - check Step 2: Set up ground rules - sounds serious... but actually isnt! - it covers when we should meet, -what we are gonna read, -size of the party, -how to pick the next book -what do we identify as: social or literary club (maybe both?) -snacks? (my own addon cos im always snackish - lolz)

Step3: how do we keep people chatting? - so i haven't made a plan but apparently there's a website i can use to help me with that so im going to explore it more! Step4: Stay organised! - dont forget to enlist members to share in on the planning!

Book clubs are more than just reading groups, they are also social and learning communities. They foster discussions that enrich our perspectives and challenge our assumptions. They also create opportunities for friendship, laughter, and joy. At the end of every meeting, try asking each member to rate the book on a scale of 1-10 on your club’s page on Bookclubs, as well as out loud. This lets everyone share their opinions and feedback, and also see how the club’s discussion influenced their rating.    "But don’t forget, it's important that you’re having fun, too. For instance, if someone from your club is hosting dinner or a potluck for the other members, choose a festive menu theme based on the book. Try a club outing to a local bookstore’s author talk—or catch the movie when a favorite book hits the big screen." - Bookclubs the book club organization tool website!

Self-help books aren't usually on my list. However, practical and financial knowledge is always a win! Stop winging it! Make your money work for you!

Do you know about the Māhele in Hawaii? Or the Dawes Act in the continental United States? 📃

Throughout history, there has been a continued effort to strip Native people of their connections to the land. We can see the long-term effects in some of the ridiculous housing prices of today's market. 🏡💰

Are there any ways we can actively work against this? Let us know what you think! 👀

[clubdelecturaesporas]

¿Qué es el club de lectura Esporas?

Esporas es un club de lectura de aficionados que desean conocer la obra de Ursula K. Le Guin. Nos juntamos en medio de esta maraña para leer a una de la autoras norteamericanas más importantes de Ciencia Ficción y Fantasía. Nos unimos, alrededor, abajo, arriba y a los lados, como se juntan los hongos: el reino Fungi que está cerca a nuestros ojos se propaga y crece a gran velocidad gracias a las esporas. Consideramos que Le Guin es una espora que viaja, se posa en una superficie adecuada y empieza a construir vida de forma aledaña y de manera vital.

Creemos en los hongos y su potencial. Creemos en la violencia colectiva que se entremezcla con esperanza y formas de habitar y circundar un mundo que se resquebraja con los días. Creemos en las instancias de esperanza que abrigan corazones o sacuden cuerpos mientras hayamos la forma adecuada de amortiguar la caída. Creemos, sobre todo, en la compañía mutua.

Los hongos han representado soledad, alucinaciones y magia. Aunque las dos últimas son ciertas se ha demostrado que bajo la tierra se extiende una gigante red que conecta lo poco que vemos de ellos; en algunos casos incluso hay plantas —micorrizas—. Las esporas son el germen de la vida de un hongo, así que esperamos que aquí comience una red de intercambio de conocimientos y afectos, ya sea que crepa en  este espacio o que se propague en otros lugares. Todo esto junto que apenas se alcanza a ver es E s p o r a s. Todo esto, que empieza a crecer, somos todos junt_s.

Nos reuniremos todos los miércoles a partir del 15 de julio —salvo si alguna catástrofe ocurre— de 6:00 p.m a 8:00 p.m vía Google Meets. Si lo deseas, puedes escribirnos a clubdelecturaesporas@gmail.com para incluirte en el calendario de Google, así te notificará automáticamente. No es obligatorio asistir a todas las sesiones: ser una espora es también flotar y abandonar el lugar si así se desea en busca de tierra nueva con más nutrientes. Puedes regresar cuando lo desees y también puedes no volver; lo entenderemos. 

Publicaremos en nuestra cuenta de Twitter recordatorios e información acorde con el club como forma de mantenernos en contacto. Los materiales de lectura están en una carpeta compartida en Drive a la que podrás acceder cuantas veces sea necesario.

Tenemos una última idea —por ahora—. Nos gustaría contar con sus apreciaciones respecto a las lecturas y sesiones, por eso, hemos construido un pad colaborativo en Riseup. La finalidad es que si así lo desean consignen en el pad reseñas, apreciaciones o comentarios sobre las lecturas que desarrollaremos en la sesiones con el fin de tener una memoria viva hecha por tod_s. No es prescindible escribir para estar en el club, solo consideramos que una herramienta extra, para recolectar los hallazgos, es una buena idea.

Gracias por construir en manada y creen en lo que apenas empieza a verse.

¡Hasta el miércoles!

Oggi vi parlo di una lettura veloce 👉🏻 #lenottibianche di #dostoevskij È una breve, intensa storia d'amore e d'amicizia. Un racconto tanto semplice quanto surreale. Un sogno tra le pagine sbiadite della realtà. Una piacevole lettura per imparare a scoprire, quanto, alla fine, sia bello illudersi. #consigliletterari #booksloverita #read2k20 #classicbooks #libriamici #ilclubdeilibri #bookbloggeritaliani #bookinfluenceritalia #βeideilibri #ßeideilibri #frasilibri #readingclub #bookishmorning #agostoinpillole #antrodilibri #augustfullofbooks #libriamoci1 #lacasadicarl #trovandopillolelibrose #amicandito #lettureimbranate #letturesocial https://www.instagram.com/p/CEi6NjEHYLq/?igshid=1obicwvt3ffbh

Most readers are so messy, you know. In pursuit of reading and finishing a book, they completely leave other things behind. You're so engrossed in a book and the story is really getting into you, slowly making you unaware about the things that are going around or the things you ought to do. And later, after finishing the whole book, you come back to reality to find out how many things you've got to do now, to find a lot of mess waiting there. I'm not complaining about it, not at all. I prefer this way. I love how us, readers, prefers things to go this way. I love this mess.

Over time, missionaries bought the ownership of certain newspapers, such as Ka Nupepa Kuokoa in 1864. The missionaries became editors and assistant editors to publications that Hawaiian communities were reading. Readers from the church wrote suggestions "to make the paper more puritanical." ⛪

Slowly, the newspaper became more of an outlet for evangelizing rather than Hawaiian-centered literature and news, causing disdain among contributors such as Joseph Hoʻonaʻauao Kānepuʻu. ✍️

Do you see bias in news outlets today? What methods do you use to understand prejudices that may be presented while reading a news article? 🗞️
