READER’S FORUM

Dear Gord,

Raymond and I were thinking and we wanted to ask if the Book Clubs could have a "tab"/page on your website. I feel like it would allow for a lot more traffic there, a lot more readers to come, and overall you and your books would get more attention. If this is possible, please let us know! I'm willing to put in work to make it happen because these "Book Clubs" mean a lot to me. Using the forum is nice, but it can be pretty difficult to keep up and everything. It's especially hard for new people to see these clubs since they get buried by threads relatively quickly.

Be blessed,

Jade

P.S. If it's not possible, would you mind telling us why? (I wouldn't take it personally if you just don't like this idea.)

Hi, Jade,

Interesting idea.

Are you suggesting adding a 3rd Forum after General Topics and Talking About Books? One that would be just Book Clubs?

Yes, that would be a great idea. What do you think? Is this possible? 😊

Actually so well deserved. I finished the book 4-5 days ago and I’m still thinking about it. Has a lot of references to other books of Gords and “something different” is an accurate tagline for the book. I think I might have to say this is one of my favorites of the Gordon Korman books I have read. I can’t wait to discuss it.

It was different. Very different. It hit in a similar way that THE FORT did, especially with that ending. Started it today, finished t today. That kid, Trey? He had some serious character growth. The plot twist in the end? Man. I wasn't really expecting that ending, but this one really reminded me of some of Gord's older books. Especially in the beginning. It was so unhinged. I loved it.

SLUGFEST and WHATSHISFACE are still my favorites, but man this one was good. It slightly reminded me of Griffin Bing and the SWINDLE series. Wow. Not a wonder why this was a bestseller so quickly. Gord is seriously tackling some tougher topics nowadays, and I'm kinda here for it. (No matter how much heartache it cost, like in THE FORT and MIXED-UP.)

Don\'t spoil it! My book came in while I was at Maine on vacation by myself, and when my parents came over they forgot to bring the book 🤣 and I have to go to Minnesota on a missionary trip for 14 days with driving included. I will catch up as best as I can.
