Ideas for meeting

Start a small book club

One book and a few people are enough to begin. You do not need to commit to a permanent club; try a single conversation first.

Choose the book and reading scope

Name the author, book and discussion language. Agree whether to finish the book or stop at a chapter, and whether people can join without preparation. Set spoiler expectations. Everyone finds their own legal copy.

An invitation to adapt

An hour-long online book discussion on Sunday, in Ukrainian. Let’s choose a book together and allow a week to read it. This will be a first trial meeting.

Pick a place or meet online

For an in-person discussion, try a quiet café or a library space that allows conversation. Check opening hours and costs. An online meeting suits people in different cities; agree a time zone and duration, such as an hour.

Give everyone a turn

Prepare two or three open questions: which scene stayed with you, or which character did you disagree with? Avoid turning the discussion into a test. People can listen or skip a question. Choose another book after the first meeting.
