Hello lovelies,

We’re excited to announce the beginning of the r/bangtan book club, [Books with Luv](https://i.imgur.com/zxAp0wY.png])! **Except for the first book**, the club will be meeting **monthly** to discuss books that BTS have recommended, possibly related to BTS’ music or simply because they were spotted in BTS content in the background, or books the community voted to read.

We’re starting with **Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS**. Let’s turn the pages weekly starting July 27th at 1am KST/ 4pm UTC

# Schedule:

* July 9 – release date
* July 13-18th – Estimated delivery date if pre-ordered

# Monthly Meetings!

## The Tracklist – What are we reading?

​

We’ll be providing you with a list of BTS-recommended and BTS-adjacent books to be voted on as part of our Book Club list.

​

## Book Club Setlist – What are we going to talk about?

​

* *Chapters Fan Chant* \- hype/overall reviews
* *Ments* \- favorite quotes from the book
* *ARMY Time* \- playlist/recommendations of songs you associate with the book/chapters/characters
* *Do the Wave* \- sentiments, feels, realizations based on the book
* *Encore/Post Club-read Depression Prevention* \- something the book club can do afterwards (on our own leisure time) to help feel less sad after reading

This is a discussion guide for our book club threads.

## Roll call

* A few weeks prior to the book club meeting we will post a reminder on what book we will be discussing and when we are meeting
* Let’s be accountability buddies! If you want to join, just hop in the thread and say that you’re interested! This isn’t anything formal, you can even ghost us (life happens) but hopefully we can motivate each other to start reading.

​

We haven’t really had a book club on r/bangtan before so there might be some kinks along the way and [we ask for your patience in advance](https://youtu.be/bm7WvpkFI0s). With you and our cutie volunteers, we hope the book club inspires people to read, learn new things and bond with other ARMY! If you have any suggestions on other features you would like to see in the book club, please let us know below! Let’s go turn some pages! See y’all soon!
