Book Club?

Would anyone be interested in this? I had one on Facebook but I was literally the only person who read anything or contributed comments. It was based off this pretty fun list that wasn't specific books but would allow for great suggestions/reviews. Let me know if anyone is in and I will get it started and line up the "rules".

Team Blue!
A book you own but haven’t read
A book that was made into a movie
A book you picked solely because of the cover
A book a friend loves
A book published this year
A book by an author you’ve never read before
A book by an author you love
A book at the bottom of your “to-read” pile
A book with a color in the title
A book set somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit
A book you started but never finished
A book with a female heroine
A book you learned about because of this challenge
A book with a blue cover
A book you were “supposed” to read in school but didn’t
A book “everyone” but you has read
A book from the library
A book you loved…read it again!
A book that is more than 10 years old
A book based on a true story
A book picked for you by your spouse, SO, child or BFF
A book set on a vineyard or farm
A book written by a celebrity
A book set in your favorite season
So this is really more of a "book challenge" than a book club but I think it will work better for everyone's schedules and reading paces. Basically you pick any category on the list that you want and read your book of choice. Read it at your own pace, then come onto the most recent thread (which I will create every Monday in case there are any fast readers) and post the following: Book title, author and a review of your thoughts on the book. I did a similar challenge like this a year or so ago and ended up finding so many interesting books that I may never have picked up. You don't have to go in any specific order on the list, whatever you feel like or whatever you happen to find that fits one of the categories.
If anyone would like me to set this up as some sort of document or link to the list instead so it can be printed out just let me know!
Though maybe we could also post what we're planning on reading - I think it would be fun if a few people are reading the same books.
DS#2 due 25 April 2019
I'm really excited about this format, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else is reading and picking up some recommendations.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

IT'S A BOY!!!
I'm going to read Defending Jacob - it's a book I've read before but I'm reading it with my husband right now.
We're also reading "Free-Range Kids" together, which is a parenting book. Let me know if anyone else is reading the same thing!
I have "The Nightingale" on my amazon wish list. Has anyone read this yet?
