Have you literally figured out a way to "make time?" I don't know how you do it all!

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Hermione style time-turner! No, in truth, *I* want to make time to read these books, so why not dedicate ONE HOUR to chatting about it with strangers? Zero prep. Just careful reading. xx

That’s a good strategy for accountability! And it benefits many others.

It's heartening to see that these first six are already sold out (and I'm sure the next six will sell out just as quickly!) though it's sad for me...I'll cross my fingers for next time!

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Will announce it ahead of time and one month at a time after this!

Alice White's avatar

Yay!

I am also sad I didn’t see this in time, but…too many poetry readers? What a great “problem” to have!

Sad to see all the sessions filled so quickly:( oh well. I’ll check out the books and see how many I can find at our local library.

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Check CWC announcements! I’m giving members a direct link (and asking anyone who RSVP’d on Luma to un-rsvp to give others a chance to join) 💛

Orna Ross's avatar

What a fabulous prospect. If i'm not seeing the Luma sign up (I'm not), does that mean you're full, Maya?

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Hi Orna, if you visit www.mayacpopa.com/bookclub the info is there. As of yesterday the first six months were filled.

Orna Ross's avatar

Thanks so much. Great job! 👏 I’ll have to be quicker off the mark next time

Jennifer Matthews's avatar

Understandably these are all sold out. Great idea! Will there be anything on Substack to read about the books if we want to follow along?

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Hi! Haven’t figured any of that out as, frankly, running CWC is full time work and this isn’t meant to have handouts etc. I may end up posting the replay, but not sure! But will definitely announce June on one month at a time for sign up 💛

Jennifer Matthews's avatar

Absolutely understandable! Thanks for the reply ❤️❤️❤️

Ladypajama's avatar

so sad that they are all already filled. :(

Maya C. Popa's avatar

so sorry! we'll be releasing the next six months (people could only sign up through June) at some point in the next few months. So stay tuned.

Hi Maya! Just seeing this. Brand new CWC member here!☺️

Went to sign up & the first 6 of these are already booked 😢 & I can’t seem to get the last 6 to link .

Will CWC members have access to recordings if you are already Full?

Maya C. Popa's avatar

YES YES YES -- I'm going to also add a private link in the portal because so many members didn't get a chance to join. I'm assuming this will be fine as (alas!) I'm guessing many people will RSVP and drop out without changing the RSVP, so CWC members will be able to join either way.

Colleen Krystyniak's avatar

Yay!!!🥰🥰🥰

Max Murphy's avatar

Really looking forward to this! I bet the differing perspectives will be super interesting!

Sold out & site isn’t working 😞

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Hi—the site is working as intended. We only allowed people to sign up for the first six months slots, precisely so everyone can have a chance to sign up again for the second half of the year. 💛

Meisha's avatar

OMG, there were a couple i wanted to join in the first half of the year, but too slow. You're already full! Thank you for making this come and go as you can available/want (even better if you're quick with your booking and can enjoy them😂🤷🏼‍♀️). Have a great weekend Maya💐

Ellen Gould's avatar

What an amazing offering — any chance of “auditing” or accessing a recording of the fully enrolled sessions?

Jonathan Potter's avatar

Maybe just open registration one month at a time a month in advance of each session to avoid this frenzied stampede effect that immediately sold out all the sessions.

Maya C. Popa's avatar

Sure, can try that going forward!

Jonathan Potter's avatar

The stampede effect is a much better problem than crickets. Encouraging!

Jonathan Potter's avatar

It’s a great idea, though. Thank you for doing it.
