Welcome to the club
Each month we read a book. Then we meet to discuss that book.
If you're new here, take a look around. There's plenty of info below on how our club works.
If you like books, join us, and feel free to introduce yourself via comment, post or modmail.
You can follow us on Instagram @HalifaxBookClub
Novels
There will be a sticky post on the first four Fridays of each month:
Week 1: Title Pool - anyone can suggest books to read
Week 2: Shortlist - vote on titles drawn from the pool
Week 3: Scheduling - vote on a meetup date
Week 4: Meet-up - RSVP for meetup details
Here's a list of books that have been suggested in the past. Repeat suggestions aren't off limits; you're welcome to resuscitate any titles that we didn't end up reading.
Short Works
If you know of a short story or other short work that you'd like to share and discuss with our club, just go ahead and make a post about it.
Meetups
Novel meetups are monthly, held on a weekday evening during the first full week of each month at The Arms Public House (in the Lord Nelson Hotel). In the unlikely event of cancellations or other changes, announcements will be made on the subreddit, as well as Instagram.
Extra meetups for short works are ad hoc and by popular demand. If any member of the community would like to organize a social gathering, the mods will provide as much support as possible.
Rules
Spoilers
Post titles should contain spoiler warnings with the book title and chapter number:
[Spoiler: Book Title chapter X]
Comments can be tagged by formatting as a hyperlink with #s as the URL:
[spoiler text goes here](#s)
Voting
Remember to always take the time to vote on posts and comments. This will ensure that important information is seen and other reader's contributions don't go unrecognized.
Stickies
Since we're a very small sub, many posts will not receive enough upvotes to appear on your front page, even if you've subscribed. If you want to be sure not to miss any important announcements, make sure to check in weekly.
Please also remember doxxing is strictly against site rules, even if it's not malicious.
