Topics
Anne Bogle: 我热衷于分享阅读体验,并帮助读者选择合适的书籍。本节目旨在提供信息,而非强迫读者阅读。我们读书俱乐部注重讨论和发现,并鼓励读者表达不同的观点。我们选书的标准包括可讨论性、可发现性、广泛的吸引力以及值得反复阅读。我们还会考虑季节性、书籍的可用性以及国际版权等因素。我们为读书俱乐部的书籍创作了独特的讨论问题,旨在引导读者更深入地思考书籍。读书俱乐部是一个社区,我们鼓励读者参与讨论,分享他们的阅读体验。 Ginger Horton: 我从小就是一个狂热的读者,读书已经成为我生活中不可或缺的一部分。加入Modern Mrs. Darcy读书俱乐部让我找到了归属感,因为这里的人们都热爱阅读,并将阅读融入生活的方方面面。我喜欢使用最高级来形容书籍,但我正在学习阅读生活并非非黑即白。一本书可以得到五星好评,但仍然存在缺陷。会员聚会活动促进了会员之间的互动,并影响了我的阅读选择。在会员聚会活动中与其他读者交流,影响了我对书籍的选择。读书俱乐部就像一个自助餐,你可以选择你感兴趣的内容。我分享了三本我喜欢的书:《奥林匹斯山,德克萨斯州》、《勇敢者皆得赦免》和《可爱的战争》,以及一本我不太喜欢的书,并解释了原因。通过读书俱乐部,我的阅读体验变得更丰富、更有意义。 Ginger Horton: 我喜欢与其他读者交流,分享我的阅读体验,并从他们的观点中学习。读书俱乐部中的讨论问题帮助我更深入地思考书籍,并发现我可能从未接触过的书籍。我鼓励读者表达不同的观点,因为这有助于我们更好地理解书籍。“异议者论坛”是读书俱乐部的一个重要组成部分,它为读者提供了一个表达不同意见的平台。通过读书俱乐部,我的阅读变得更有趣、更具社区感和更有意义。我们读书俱乐部欢迎所有类型的读者,即使他们没有阅读当月的书籍。如果没有任何障碍,我会邀请Amor Towles、Ann Patchett、Bess Kalb、Karen Joy Fowler等作者来参加读书俱乐部。你可以选择一个月、三个月或一年的会员资格来试用读书俱乐部。我们鼓励读者在夏季阅读指南之前加入读书俱乐部。你可以在Modern Mrs. Darcy的网站和Instagram上找到我们当月的书籍选择。

Shownotes Transcript

Readers, we often receive questions from you about our Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club and what actually goes on in our online reading community, and today's guest is here to help Anne take you behind the scenes! You may already know Ginger Horton, our MMD Book Club Community Manager, from her prior appearances here on the podcast or because you interact with her all the time in book club.

Today, Ginger and Anne dive into all things book club, like the nitty-gritty details of our approach to choosing the titles, which we have a finely honed philosophy for, to what kinds of books we hear that our readers love the most.

Along the way Anne and Ginger talk about specific books that really stand out to Ginger from her own book club experience over the years, plus some perks that our book club members enjoy, like access to our upcoming Summer Reading Guide and live unboxing experience.
