Hello and welcome to the first week of the Lost Dreams Book Club!

We are ready to get started and we hope you are, too! Below you will find the first pairing of the club. If we haven't found a group for you yet, you are on the waitlist. We'll make sure to group you up as soon as we can.

To make sure everything runs smoothly, here is a quick overview of what you'll need to do:

- The assignment is to read 3 chapters of each partner's book over the next 2 weeks. The deadline for this is September 7th. The next update will be the next Sunday; September 8th.

- Remember to give the best feedback you can. Be specific.

- When you've finished your assignment, report to us with what you've read in this chapter. This should look a bit like this: Three chapters read of Speaker's Way; last chapter read: chapter 24, and three chapters read of The Root of Magic; last chapter read: chapter 24.

- If your partner goes above and beyond, please let us know. We have a nomination system in place for members who do really well.

- If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us.

- If you want to read more than the required 6 chapters per 2 weeks, talk to your partners to see if they want this too. If one of you has a book that's shorter than the others', see if you can fix this by letting your partners read a second book of yours once they finish the first one.

Here are this week's groups.

- A Love Affair of the Century

- Nalite Hunter: Zeke Lawler
