๐โ ๐ Steemit Bookclub Launch: Countdown D-10
(Source)Hey guys! Yes, i'm calling you, Steemians, there is still time to join the bookclub about The Idiot!
But more specifically, I'm looking at you @marinauzelac, @anna89, @sroka87,@taliakerch,@singa, @hanen, @alignment, @alexandraioana26, @arthur.grafo since you have all signed up ๐
So, I think that by now everyone has had time to find a copy of THE IDIOT and to take a look at the proposed template.
FEEDBACK ABOUT THE RULES
@marinauzelac suggested to add a section where we can emphasize a scene which made a strong impression on us and why. That sounds like a good idea to me, so I updated the Template i proposed in my previous post to take that into consideration. Feel free to use it!
Here is the link to the template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vUhN-4VYpzKTjpEgWiMPwFb-r26vTt9ZFYtLGyqNWBg/edit?usp=sharing
@anna89 suggests we could read and speak more than one chapter... I'm fine with this. What do you think: 2 chapters/7 days or 3 chapters/10 days ?
Also, I remind people that the template I created in HTML is optional. If you don't want to use it to build your article, feel free to find your own shape and form! ๐ The article is only the stepping stone and the comments we can add to it will be the real cement of the club.

LABELS
The only thing which is NOT optional would be the labels, so always add these 5:
bookclub
steemitbookclub
theidiot
book
review
It will make it easier to follow the thread, in my opinion.

SHARING QUOTES

START DATE AND FIRST POST
Now, what do you think if we start the first article on February 9th?
It's not random date: it's actually the date Dostoyevski died in Saint-Petersburg! Will it give you time to finish at least the two first chapters?
And do we have a VOLUNTEER for the first article? Since we are not THAT much, we could proceed with the articles on a volunteering basis. First person to agree to write the first post gets the honour of starting officially the bookclub! ๐

๐AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYBODY,
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST!๐

Awesome!
I could do an introduction post because I'm kind of Dostoevsky geek, I think I read almost everything he wrote, so it would be a pleasure :)
That's a great idea! :-) It would be the perfect way to start!
hahaha :)
Thank you @marinauzelac for this great introduction to Dostoyevsky and THE IDIOT:
https://steemit.com/bookclub/@marinauzelac/steemit-bookclub-idiot-introduction
That is a great idea;)
Thanks! Are you in?
Im in i will join of course
Perfect! I'll add you to my list
Great lets start!!!
Would you do us the honour of the first article post-introduction? :)
It's until 9 of February right? And one more question, I have read the book some years ago so obviously I have to take another look to the first chapters, so I can do a post for only the two first? Just asking so that I dont ruin anything XD
Ideally, you could publish your article on that day February 9th, so you have 10 days more or less to refresh your memories and write an article. Yes, i think the two first chapters would be a good start :)
Thank you for your answer! I will be glad to write an article about the two first chapters I will publish it on 9th of February following your instructions about the tags!
Lovely! :-) Can't wait!
I'm a little bit anxious to start first haha!
That's great! I agree with 2 chapters/7 days! <3

it's just a quick reminder that there is 3 days left before February 9th and the first article of the book club (@anna89 is in charge about that one).
Hope you were all able to read the first two chapters :) See you on Friday or Saturday for discussing it, don't miss @anna89's article. I'll re-esteem anyway :)
