Lit Chat

Riot Book

Description

Each of the 50 cards in this conversation deck is printed with two reading-themed questions (100 questions total). Some invoke books that are tied to memories (name your favorite childhood picture book); others prompt you to choose ideal reading material for a hypothetical situation (if you were stranded on a desert island, what book would you want with you?). Some of them aim to get people comparing their favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters or authors, and others engage in popular debates amongst readers (name a movie adaptation you liked and defend your choice). Created to give readers of all persuasions an excuse to talk about books, ideas, and life itself, this deck is a great addition to any booklovers shelf. A

THE

CONVERSATION
Where is your favorite place to read?

Think about it for a minute. Do you curl up in a cozy chair

with the latest hardcover? Do you sit outside, turning your

face up to the sun as you listen to an audiobook? Maybe

you re at a local cafe, enjoying a worn paperback amidst

the buzz of life around you. Wherever and however you

like to read, one thing is certain: reading is a solitary act.

But being a reader? That s a shared experience, and that

shared experience is what LIT CHAT is all about.

Books give us ways to make sense of the world, and they

provide an escape from it. Books are magical. We made

LIT CHAT because at Book Riot, we know that the only

thing readers like as much as reading books is talking

about books with other readers. The questions on these

pages invite you to explore your individual reading habits

and experiences and to imagine yourself through the lenses

of characters and stories. Answer them with your book

club, your best friends, your family, or your classmates.

We hope these questions will shed new light on your reading

life and bring you closer to your fellow book lovers. Join us

at bookriot.com to continue the adventure!

Read on,

TEAM BOOK RIOT
Select a page at random and read the question aloud to the

entire group. Go around the room until everyone has had

a chance to answer, then pick a new page! Each page has

a lead question and a follow-up question. Proceed to the

follow-ups at any point to stimulate further conversation.

The object of LIT CHAT is to have fun discussing books and

being a reader so feel free to add anecdotes, factoids, and

other thoughts as they come up. Use the book titles on the

left side of the pages as a starting point if you need it!
