ELibraryNG: Just search for b-ok on Google and you will see a site "Z library" open it and search the. book you need. It is free to download 5 books per day without any registration. You should also download "PocketBook" from play store so you can read .epub, .PDF, .mobi and other ebook files. You can also use "ReadEra" app but it can't open .mobi files. Also Geminita have made it easier. There's no excuse for us not to read in this age. Thank you for the question, I was supposed to talk about it sooner 1 Like 1 Share |

Geminita: Yes a month is too much now that I think about it. What if we do it this way, we use 2 weeks instead for review, so once we start the next book, we can start sending our reviews for the previous book. That is 2 weeks for reading and 2 weeks for review and discussions. Is this better |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Geminita: 9:32pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273: Yes it is |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 9:32pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Geminita:Yea.... A month is too much. Jack273.... I think we should read the books for 3 weeks then review on the fourth week.... The book we read this month will be reviewed the first week of next month.... Wahyasay? |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 9:33pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Geminita:It ain't... A week should be enough for reviews na. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 9:38pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne:We read a book for 2 weeks and review and discuss the next 2 weeks while we are reading the 2nd book of the month. This way we can do 2 books per month. I feel 3 weeks might be too long for reading and it will be hard to count in 3s |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 9:39pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273:Aiit aiit... Me Sha I've not finished this one. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Ana4love(f): 9:41pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273:Yeah sounds cool to me. We would be reading the newly nominated books whilst reviewing the previous ones. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 9:44pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne:Me too, although I don't have any excuse, I've been playing since morning. I think is because we started late sha but as from next month we will have at least 14 days for each book unlike this month that it's just 10 days each. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Geminita: 9:46pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne: So it's just one book for a month then.. 3 weeks for reading, 1 week for review... |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Ana4love(f): 9:52pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Geminita:No na. It's still the same two books. One book for two weeks, while reading the next book in the remaining two weeks, we'll be reviewing the first one we read. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Geminita: 9:54pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Ana4love: Oh.. I get it now... But to make this group active and interesting, we should stick to the two weeks plan of completing a book |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 9:54pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Geminita:No we have agreed on this Each Month 2 weeks: Read book 1, review book 2 of last month 2 weeks: Read book 2, review book 1 Next Month 2 weeks: Read book 1, review book 2 of last month so we continue like this each month 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Geminita: 10:03pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273: Yeah I have seen it |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 10:05pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273:I'm not really feeling the book... Read Anna Karenina in like 4days and I can't finish a 390 paged book in 10days. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 10:08pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Geminita:No. What I meant is, we read the two books in 3 weeks then review both in the last week of the month. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Geminita: 10:12pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne: Let's go with what Jack and Ana suggested.. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 10:13pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Geminita:Ok o. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 10:15pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne:My own case is just procrastination, once I start I don't want to stop but then I get distracted and it takes me 2 days to get back to it |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 10:18pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
We are to start the second book on Tuesday 21st, so based on the decisions taken today it means the review for the first book should start coming in from Tuesday. But for the sake of those like me who are yet to finish the first book, we are asking that the review be delayed till 23rd so we have 3 days to round up. Meanwhile those that are already done can start reading the next book from 21st as originally planned and the review for this one will commence 1st of August. So please give us 3 days. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 10:41pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273:Yea, it's cos of the introversion. We easily get distracted, and overthink. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Ana4love(f): 10:51pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne:Seriously? Introversion? |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Lorayne(m): 11:05pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Ana4love:Hehehehe.... I know introverts read a lot.... But they easily get distracted and procrastinate a lot.... I'm one, I know. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 11:21pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
In my own case I read everything except what I'm supposed to read and by the time I come back to reality, the day is over. The next day the circle continues, I forget how interesting it was that I didn't want to drop it (until I pick it again days later) |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Ana4love(f): 11:35pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Lorayne:That means my own introversion is from another planet na cos I rarely read. |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Ana4love(f): 11:37pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Jack273:It happens to me too but when I know there's a deadline to catch up with, I try not to forget the book. Also I feel I'm really slow in reading, so I try to give myself the number of pages I should finish in a day 1 Like |
Re: NAIRALAND BOOK CLUB (NBC) by Jack273: 12:26am On Jul 20, 2020 |
Ana4love:I'll try it out, set number of pages to read each day. Deadline helps me too. 2 Likes |
