Books2Movies Club discussion

Here you can sign up for the project and update your progress. In order to make updates, just edit your own post, don't make new ones. Comments can be added, of course, but that first post would be your main one and you do not need any other to follow your progress. In this way we can all follow each other much easier than through an array of disconnected posts!

Don't worry if you fear you won't be able to keep up with the schedule - I am not sure for myself either. This is not a competition; you should dictate your own pace. The projects are usually done in parallel with any other plans we might have, so give yourself as much time as you need!

Here's how I imagined this looks like. You can follow my own post or do it any way you like.
