#sfbookclub
What is #sfbookclub?
#sfbookclub is the first and, so far, only Twitter book club dedicated to all genres of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and probably a host of others).
Here’s how it works.
- Vote for the latest #sfbookclub selection.
- Read or re-read the selected book. I try to select books which are readily available in brick-and-mortar stores, on Amazon, or in audio format through Audible.
- After the polls close, you’ll have two weeks to read the selected book. We’ll discuss the book on Twitter for a long weekend, from Friday until Monday, appending the hashtag #sfbookclub to all relevant tweets to make the conversation easy to follow, either through the site TweetChat, Twitter Search, or the search functionality of most Twitter clients.
- Feel free to spread the word about #sfbookclub in the next two weeks, but please don’t share any major plot points until the discussion starts.
That’s it! The concept is, I hope, elegant in its simplicity. Since the #sfbookclub is still in its infancy, I’d value any and all input before, during, and after the event to refine the process for future discussions. Post ideas in the comments below, and of course follow me on Twitter.
