The HOL Book Club welcomes everyone to another year of fun and adventures -- with books!
We are anticipating some great times with those who want to join us in our activities.
We're starting out, in September, with Finish the Quote - Take Two.
Finish the Quote is a game we invented, where each week we provide the beginning of a sentence, a quote from a book, and you are invited to finish that sentence with a fragment (or complete sentence) from another book. Can this be fun and hilarious? Yes! Can it be serious and somber? Again, yes! Beans will be offered for participation.
Monthly Prompts
The library of prompts that we have is already quite large. That said, we will be adding more, now and again, here and there, for your enjoyment and pleasure. You are invited to visit Quill and Ink, Ink Splatters and Between the Pages to see what we have!
Remember, you can earn Beans and Awards by completing the prompts! If you complete 7 in a particular subforum during the school year, you'll be in line for the award related to that area (either the Quill and Ink, Ink Splatters or Between the Pages award).
As we have written earlier "You can even revisit prompts you’ve completed in the past - providing you haven’t done a particular prompt during the current school year and your new submission is a fresh idea, redoing a prompt is absolutely fine (why not create a sequel to what you did before?)."
Be sure to read the Guidelines thread for each of the forums for more information.
Upcoming Activities
Coming in October is one of our favorite activities, a Book Read-Along. We're currently deciding which book we want to focus on ... there are so many great options (that have been narrowed down to 3 books, though)!
Do you have an idea of what you would want us to do, or have a book you'd like us to feature? Please feel free to drop us a PM if you have an idea or request. While we cannot make any promises of being able to fulfill your request, wouldn't it be lovely if we could?
If there are activities or games that we have done in the past that you'd like to have again, tell us! Did you love Quick Quotes, Flash Fiction, Characterful Categories or some other activity? If so, let us know. If you are new to HOL Hogwarts, explore what we've done in the past and if you come across something you want to do now, let us know.
Reading a good book? Reviews are always welcome in The Bookshelf!
Remember, we offer shinies (Awards) to people who help us fill our Book Club with reviews, posts and participations in various activities. We'd love to give you one (or more)!
We hope that you enjoy one of the best things in the world, BOOKS, this coming School Year.
Emily, Sky and Tarma
