I thought I had an idea of what a book discussion was. It involved a group a friends getting together to discuss a book that most of did not finish and have cocktails. This experience was very different. First of all, I read the entire book. I also tooks some notes and did a basic search of the book Front Desk by Kelly Yang. I also read reviews of the book to see how other people felt about the book.
The discussion itself seemed organized and the participants appeared ready to discuss different aspects of the book. Kristen did an amazing job as the facilitator of the conversation. To be honest I do not think our discussion would not have gone so smoothly if Kristen did not keep the discussion on tracked. I also thought that there was a balance of voices. One person did not dominate the conversation- Maybe I did a little, but I was kept on track.
The one thing that I was not so thrilled about was that the discussion was done virtually. I missed the idea of a group of people meeting in person and sharing ideas. If there was one thing I could have changed, that would be it, or maybe adding the cocktails too.
