200: Book club discussion prompts for a romance novella (Love By Design)
from Author Diary Entries · host Sagan Morrow
Use these book club discussion prompts for a romance novella (Love By Design — Book 2 in the Small Town Stilettos duology) as a starter kit for analyzing text of all kinds! Alter the questions as you see fit for this specific novella, or adapt them for other novels you’re reading. Try zooming in AND zooming out: Dive into the pages and focus on one tiny detail of a book so you can explore what it means to you or what captures your attention about it, and then take more of a bird’s eye view and consider the overall themes of a story from a distance. Shift your perspective by thinking about the text from your position as a reader, and also the position of various characters, as well as the position of what the author’s intentions might have been. The more that you explore all of these things, the richer the text will become, and the more you’ll learn about extracting meaning from text, and the more you’ll learn about how your brain works. There are so many benefits to asking questions like these, and all you need to do is read fun books in order to begin!
