Love this idea! One of my favorite books

I consider Beloved the most important novel of the 20th Century and teach it every year.

How do I follow this??

Wonderful book. Look forward to the discussions

book club?

Loosely-speaking, kinda-sorta?

Only goal is to be able to enjoy/interact with the responses of others while reading along at roughly the same pace (and maybe a Google Meet or something at the end for those who joined in!)

I'm ready

It’s weird to me that you didn’t include the author in the pic of alt text.

Thanks. I wasn't aware there was confusion about the context.

The most powerful novel I taught in 36 years of teaching and one I miss re-reading each year - please count me in.

Cannot wait to learn from those who have brought it into their classroom! 🙏

One of my most favourites. This book really did change my vision.

I’m interested. How to join?

Full disclosure: this isn't a TEWWG experience for me—to my recollection, this will be my first time all the way through, cover-to-cover, and I cannot wait.

Ready to read, ready to learn, and ESPECIALLY ready to do so in community 📚
