What happened to the book club

Soleil3

Did I miss it?

Emeraldeyed315

there was a book club? if this is active/becomes active again can I participate?

V&G101808

I didn't know something formal had started. Let's do this!!

BTW Sol- I just finished Allegiant. I was surprised, I thought it was good! Not sure why so many people said it was bad.

Revez

I'm so on board if this becomes a thing!

thoughtfulmommy

We need to choose a book. Preferably something newer so hopefully many of us haven't read it. Anyone want to throw out a recommendation?

CupcakecutieRN

Someday,someday maybe by Lauren graham (ie gilmour girls). Or beautiful day by elin hilderbrand

LEMSA

I'm in!

kanned0121

Marvel1013

I'm in too!!

Ashesha13

I need to get back into reading. I miss getting lost in a good book. Especially with winter coming, time to snuggle up with a warm drink and good book, of that's still possible.

I'm in

V&G101808

Anyone one else have suggestions? Once we have a few suggestions we can create a poll and vote on a book.

How long does everyone need to read a book? 2 weeks? More?

Soleil3

I thouht we were just kinda gonna read whatever we want and then talk about it?

I just read Ready Player One and found it really good, left me wanting more

nnikki10

Oh this would be fun. I need to get back into reading. I like the idea of us all reading the same book.

@Soleil3 that was a great one!  You might also like Enders Game

I did, loved the whole series  

Millie1984

I'll jump on the bandwagon if this can really become a thing!  

TeacherMom210

I love to read! I recently finished a Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper novel whose name I cannot recall at the moment. It's hard for me to read for fun during the school year sometimes, though, since I teach English and have to do a lot of reading for work. I'd be on board with a book club, though.

HermansWife

I'd be on board too!

alijeff2313

I'll definitely be in!

Soleil3

Alright so lets start it then. Book suggestions? 

magdalina.h

y'all have time to read a book?!? I read while I pump

nittanygirl28

Haven't found time for reading since LO but this may help me get back into the swing of things. Zarkoe-I'm a Lisa Scottoline fan. I'll have to check out Save Me.

thoughtfulmommy

Suggestions from a top YA list.

Maze runner
Uglies
The fault in our stars

Revez

I'm embarrassed to say that it's been a while since I've read a book that has an adult target audience.   ">

I did however read the game of thrones series which was fantastic. I'm completely open to whatever you ladies suggest.

Soleil3

On my to read list-

The Secret History- Donna Tartt

Clockwork Angel - Cassandra claire

Article 5 Kirsten Simmons

Revez

@Soleil3 I read Clockwork Angel a while back. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. I loved reading that series though.

sarymonster

I'm in!  I vowed to cut way down on my daytime TV during my maternity leave and the result has been that I read on my kindle while I breastfeed.  Works great.  I've done 14 books (some of them are easy reads... I have my guilty pleasures) since I started.  Next on my reading list is a delightful series I found by Nancy Springer- the Enola Holmes mysteries.  They are the sister of sherlock holmes and she's into mystery solving.  I also found a great one this morning called The Kitchen House by Kathleem Grissom that I'm looking forward to starting- that would be a great book club book.  I've been searching for inspiration on goodreads.com  Its hard to find new books you want to read sometimes!  do a lot of crimesolver fluff books like Janet Evanovich and Victoria Laurie. 

Soleil3

Ohh the passage is a good one to, its on my re-read list. (going through my calibre)

julianndelaney

I'd love to join in! I'll keep an eye out for what is decided! I'm open to whatever, but the Lauren graham book has been on my list and I saw it was mentioned (it's going to be turned into a movie I think or a tv series, I'd like to get the book read before that happens :P) but I am open

KQuinonez

Count me in too. Not sure when I will have time but I need to read. It helps my stress levels.

tanabeans

I wanna play,
On my reading list is the giver series, I only read the first one a long time ago.
Also I just looked at the kindle best seller list and the book thief and stcamore row look good to me

Soleil3

Oh the book thief is on my list too

thoughtfulmommy

I'll give a third nomination to the book thief.

Marvel1013

Kama sutra? :-??

LEMSA

It sounds like book thief i guess.

Any ideas how it should work? I've never done one online. Like 2 chapters a week and discuss? Or be like a real book club and just drink wine and talk about anything else besides the book?

PB102012

I am in! Book Thief will be on my kindle by tonight!

With working and such I'd say a month? Maybe I'm on the slow end...

Agreed! I haven't so much as picked up a book since LO. But before I was into silly quick read chick books. I wouldn't mind something a little different.

Eta: not true. I read Llama Llama and Dr Seuss on the regular. Book club worthy?

HermansWife

I'm in for the book thief. :-)

Soleil3

I say two weeks? That puts us on t-day though, so either before or after?

PB102012

Two chapters in two weeks works for me.
