BooksAMA is a reddit for "Ask Me Anything" threads about books. If that idea sounds weird to you, check out the submission that started it all.

Guidelines:

Finish the book. BookAMAs are for books that you've read, not books that you're reading.
Search for the title of your book. Repeating books is allowed, but if you're repeating a book that's been done recently, join that conversation instead.
Mark books [f] for fiction, or [nf] for non-fiction.
Top-level posters are expected to check in at least several times over the first eight hours after creating an AMA, and ideally several more times over the next 24 to 48 hours. "Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.
Assume spoilers Readers should beware that the discussion will most likely deal with important plot points. If you plan on reading the book, you may want to hold off on reading the AMA.
Have the book handy. You might want to refer back to the text.
If you've also read the book, it's your AMA, too. BookAMA is ultimately just another way of managing book discussion, so the more people who've read a given book, the better. Jump in and give your opinion.
