The participants
This read-along is opened internationally, anyone is
welcomed to join. Participant must
sign up via comment box in the participant
list page. If you want to post about this read-along in your blog, you can
add your post URL in comment box of the participants’ list page. You may join
the read-along anytime (even in the middle of read-along schedule), as long as
you can catch up to finish the book by November 7th 2012.
It’s not a must, but it would appreciated if you’d grab and
put the Gone With The Wind Read-along button in your post. Or if you
don’t write any post, you can put it in your sidebar, linking to the hosts, to
let your followers know about this read-along.
Oh… and for my dear Indonesian fellow bloggers—before you
ask the question—yes, you may post in Bahasa Indonesia, but it recommended to
post in English, to make it easier for other participants to read your thoughts
and have discussions.
The update posts
To read along together with friends is the main purpose
of having this event, so the hosts prefer to have some discussion after
finishing each part. Therefore the hosts plan to open an update posts page during
the read-along where you can share URL of your own update posts. These
posts are not mandatory, you can skip it if you don’t have anything to say.
If you only want to say something brief about certain part
but do not feel like writing a post, or else you don’t have a blog, you can
just make a comment on the “update posts”. With the “reply” button we
can have a discussion there as well.
There will be four update posts, for part one to part
four, while nearly at the end of read-along I will publish a “reviews page”
(there won’t be update post for part 5, we can directly write a review for the
whole book).
The giveaway
This is the best part! For you who post your updates in
your blog or in comment box, will be able to join the hosts’ giveaway! Each
update post/comment would be counted as one entry, and at the end of read-along,
the hosts will pick one (or—hopefully—more) winner. To anyone who would like to
host his/her giveaway during this read-along, please feel free to contact the
hosts, so they can post about your giveaway in this blog.
Reading schedule?
There won’t be any strict schedule to read certain
pages in certain days, everyone can have their own pace. Just feel free to
add your link after you finish certain part, anytime. This way participants can
check how others are going, or have discussion about certain parts.
The reviews
Please add the URL of your review in the “reviews page”
after finishing the novel. The review post is mandatory, but if you don’t
have a blog, you can use comment box to write your opinion.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s signing up :D
Can't wait to start reading!
