FAKER “Book Club”

Hey, people! This is the FAKER “Book Club” thread, basically where the most awesome fans of Gordon Korman come and talk about his books! Thank you Logan for bringing up this idea! So, this is the new thread since the first one was getting buried by new posts. 

 

This Book Club is different from the past ones. This time, please read the entire book before looking below. We’re discussing a different analysis-type topic every day until we run out: and we have the list of (18) topics below.

 

We’re going to switch discussion leaders every day, and right now the order is… the order in which you reply to this thread. Claim your spot before it’s too late! Ha!

 

If you’re a discussion leader, feel free to pick one from the list of topics. Make your own if you don’t want to use any from the list! The more creativity the better.

 

I can’t wait to start this book club with you guys. 

 

Be blessed,

Jade
