Karapu Lit: NBCBC
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas 
I tīmata tēnei rōpū i te Twilight Zone mā te pānui i te raupapa pukapuka vampire rongonui a Stephanie Meyer. Engari kua horapa haere rātou mai i taua wā.
I pānuihia e koe te raupapa katoa i roto i te kotahi marama? Kāore koe i rite ki te ngote i te toto o tētahi?
Ko te mea whakakatakata, i whakaaro a Amy Williams, te kaiwhakaū o te karapu, he tamariki rawa te raupapa pukapuka mō tētahi rōpū 30 tau te pakeke. Ā, ko wai kāore i taea te whakatakoto pukapuka? I pau katoa i a ia te raupapa pukapuka i roto i te wiki kotahi.
Tō ingoa—kōrerotia mai ki a mātou te tikanga o ngā reta tuatahi.
NBCBC? Ko tōna tikanga he Non-Book Club Book Club. I tawai mātou i a mātou anō nā te mea he karapu pukapuka rap nerdy. Nō reira i kī tonu mātou, "Āe, ehara i te karapu pukapuka—engari, he karapu pukapuka." Ā, i mau tonu!
I pēhea te tīmatanga o te NBCBC?
Āe...he pai ki a tātou katoa te pānui pukapuka, ā, kotahi tonu te momo pukapuka e pānuihia ana e tātou. I whakaaro mātou mā te karapu pukapuka mātou e āwhina ki te puta atu i tō mātou rohe whakamarie me te pānui i tētahi mea kāore mātou e whiriwhiri i te nuinga o te wā mā mātou anō.
He tino pai ki ahau tō tohu—me te pōporo i roto i ngā kapu.
Āe, he pia? He pai ki a mātou te pārekareka ki tētahi pō kai a ngā kōtiro i tētahi pae me tētahi wharekai o te rohe i muri i ngā kōrero. Āe. Āe. —Kaiwhakatika]
I tino pai tō Hui Whakawhiwhinga Tohu. Kōrero mai ki a mātou...
I whai mai i tā mātou hui a te Porowhita Katoa—arā, kua whiriwhiria e ia mema (e tokoiwa katoa) tētahi pukapuka.
I whakawhiwhia e mātou ngā tohu mō te Kōwhiringa Pukapuka Pai rawa atu, te Kata Pai rawa atu, te Mea Tino Pea Ka Whiwhi i te Whakakorenga. I whakawhiwhia anō hoki e mātou ngā tohu ki ngā tāne nāna i hanga tō mātou waitohu, T-hate me ngā whakapiripiri mā mātou. [Āe. Nā tetahi tangata i hanga te tohu. He whakamārama mō te pia. —Kaiwhakatika]
I hangaia hoki e koe tētahi rārangi ingoa nui o ngā tari karapu...
Tuatahi, ko tā mātou Tīma Whakahaere Matua—Perehitini, Perehitini Tuarua, Hēkeretari me te Kaiwhakahaere Putea—te tikanga noa.
Kātahi ka tāpirihia e mātou tētahi Kaitohutohu Wairua me tētahi Kaiwhakakatakata o te Kōti... he tūranga nui.
Kua whakatūria hoki e mātou he Kaiwhakahaere Hangarau Mōhiohio me te Whakaahua...he Kaiwhakahaere Hokohoko...he Kaiwhakahaere Koha Aroha...me te Kaiwhakahaere Rauemi Tangata. Kei te whakamahere mātou kia nui ake te aro ki ā mātou tari i te tau e haere ake nei!
He tino pono koutou! Nō reira, kōrero mai ki a mātou i tā koutou i pānui ai.
Anei tā mātou rārangi pānui mai i te marama o Hānuere (2009) i te wā i tīmata ai tā mātou rōpū:
Wairangi
Kei roto i te ngao
Te Aroha me te Mate: Te Kohurutanga o Kurt Cobain nā Max Wallace, Ian Halperin
Manage (raupapa Black Rece) nā Emma Holly
Taku Booky Wook nā Russell Brand
Tuhinga
Ngā Ture o te Whakatenatena
Oneone, Rā, Whakamātautau nā Stephanie Bond, Leslie Kelly, Lori Wilde
He Mano Pai Rawa
He raupapa Twilight nā Stephanie Meyer
He makau?
Te Aroha me te Mate he tino pai rawa atu—i pōti mātou. He kaiwhaiwhai te katoa o te roopu Nirvana, nō reira i kitea e mātou he mea whakamīharo te matapakinga o te pukapuka mō ngā "meka" o te keehi.
[He rangahau tēnei pukapuka mō te matenga o Kurt Cobain i te tau 1994, tētahi o ngā tino whetu rongonui o taua wā. Ahakoa i kiia he whakamomori te matenga, e kī ana ngā kaituhi he...mea kē atu. —Etita]
Kāore i tino pai ki ahau?
Taku Booky Wook nā Russell Brand i whakapōuri. I whiriwhiria e mātou nā te mea kua oti noa i a mātou He Mano Pai Rawa, he tino pouri tēnei, ā, i whakaaro mātou mā te pukuhohe e whakamārama te wairua. Engari kāore i te katakata, kāore hoki i te whakangahau i te katoa—he torutoru noa iho, ki te mea he tokomaha, o mātou i oti te mahi.
Me pēhea tāu whiriwhiri i āu pukapuka?
Ka taea e ia mema te whiriwhiri i tāna e hiahia ana ki te pānui. Ka tūtaki mātou ki tōna whare...ā, i muri i te kōrero, ka anga atu mātou ki te tāone!
