Book Club Hashtags: A Master List

[cat_from_outer_space]

Active:

- #amreading - not an official club, but the generally accepted hashtag for sharing your thoughts on what you're currently reading.

- #nfbookclub - monthly discussion of one or two nonfiction books, chosen by participants via poll the month prior.

- #sffbookclub - monthly discussion of one science fiction or fantasy novel or novella, chosen by participants via poll the month prior.

- #storyclub - every-other-weekly discussion of a new science fiction or fantasy short story. Stories are generally all free to read online.

- #wicdivclub - weekly discussion of the comic series The Wicked + The Divine, beginning at the beginning and moving ahead one issue at a time. Ask Zeph which issue everyone is on at any given moment! Also feel free to comment on any part of the series you happen to be reading. Remember to CW for spoilers.

Seeking Interested Folks:

- #catstoriesclub - Jake is interested in setting up a club (informal or formal) to discuss stories that feature cats prominently (nonfiction, fiction, any medium--including film, comics, and video games). Reply to this post or contact Jake either on DW or Mastodon if you're interested.

Does #StoryClub count, or are you keeping it to longer reads?

[cat_from_outer_space]

Any/all lengths! I just haven't seen #StoryClub. What's its modus operandi?

[zephasaurus_hex]

Oh, I thought I'd seen you there! Weird.

They do SFF short fiction, used to be a new one every week but now it's every other. So far they've all been ones that could be read free online, so it's pretty easy and low-commitment to join in.

Added!

Also just a quick note on #WicDivClub. We actually are reading/re-reading it together so we read an issue every week (currently #8). But yes, also feel free to discuss whatever part of it you're currently reading! Just include spoiler warnings. I *think* we're all caught up but not 100% sure.

Hiho, hiho, off to fix that bit I go! (Thank you for the heads-up!)

#catstoriesclub? ARE YOU TROLLING ME, JAKE?!

I also asked on Mastodon about that NF book club and I think I want that also to be the hashtag: #nfbookclub. Ya know, like #sffbookclub.

I'm not trolling, I'm just being Loyal to My Personal Brand (tm).

...it's just all cats with me. Cats all the way down.

Making the hashtag change now! Do you want it to have a casual aspect? Like, if folks read nonfic, they can tag it with that, too, even if it's not an Official Club Book?

[julia_reads]

Suresuresure...

Yes! I don't think I fan find one NF book that everyone wants to read because NF is tricky so this might be the best solution to get to talking about the books or find new, interesting ones to read.

[cat_from_outer_space]

I'll make sure to tag my own nonfic books I read that way in future, too, then. Help get these hashtags off the ground!

[zephasaurus_hex]

I like that solution! I'll make sure to start using it and bookmark the tag.

Want me to make or boost a post on Mastodon for it?

[julia_reads]

Thank you, that's great! And I just tooted about it and I hope people come up with a few suggestions because I don't want to have the sole responsibility and then have everyone hate my picks xD
