Hello!
Thank you for your interest in reading None Like Him by Jen Wilkin together! We'll be using the app Discord to discuss this book and encourage each other to finish together. Please download the app before our first meeting in March. Doing so will also help you become familiar with the server if you've never used Discord before. Feel free to ask any questions! The invitation to the server will be linked at the bottom of this blog.
I created a reading plan for those who feel that they do better by setting daily small goals. You don't have to use the plan but if you feel that it'll help you stay consistent with your reading feel free to download and print!
The plan basically gives you 3 days to finish a new chapter.
Day 1 which is March 1st starts with the introduction of the book. The introduction is very short therefore feel free to take the first day as a light reading day or read a few pages of Chapter 1 for a head-start! It's totally up to you! Everyone is welcome to go at their own pace. Perhaps you're already an advanced reader who reads more pages than the plan suggests. The reading plan is an optional guide not a requirement for this book club. We want everyone to feel like they have a chance!
Side note: Highlighted dates indicate there's a live meeting that day!
Included with the reading plan you'll find a schedule for our virtual Discord meetings. Meetings will take place on Thursdays at 7pm CST. Not every Thursday of the month but some Thursdays of the month. See schedule to mark your calendars! Discord offers a space where we can voice chat or text chat. Each individual can choose which form of communication they prefer.
The general channel will be used for daily conversation and encouragement. Each chapter will have its own "channel" for book notes and points! Feel free to spend as much or as little time in those spaces. They're for you to express thoughts, questions, or opinions as you go. Don't feel intimidated by channels, they're mainly just there to keep things organized.
LIVE meetings is where we'll discuss the questions Jen Wilkin includes at the end of every chapter!
March 2nd is our first live session!
"Live" meaning we'll all be active and present on the server at the same time. 7pm CST.
On our first live session we'll spend time getting to know each other and answering ice- breaker questions such as:
- What is your name?
- Where are you from?
- Have you read any other book by this author? - What do you think of the book's art cover? - Did you read the introduction? What did you think of it?
On March 16th we'll cover the discussion questions in chapters 1-5.
On March 30th we'll cover the discussion questions in Chapters 6-10.
Locals will have one in-person meeting. We'll finalize the date together!
I hope this helped you understand the direction of our March Book Club.
I look forward to reading None Like Him with you!
