Who wants to join? A few members of the April IVF board were interested. Once we get a group of people maybe we can start a private group so we don't clog up the board.
I'm thinking something funny and light hearted. But also up for whatever is suggested.
How exactly with that work in a forum format? I'm potentially interested, but I've never been a member of one, so not sure how it works

Honestly I think it would just depend on the group of people who want to join. We could go chapter by chapter and discuss or read a whole book and discuss. Just whatever works best for the group.
We read one book per month based on nominations from members. We usually create threads for each half of the book so people can participate depending on how much they've read.
You are more than welcome to join us if you'd like. I'll warn you about half of the ladies have graduated from TTGP (aka are now pregnant) in case you want to avoid pregnancy tickers, etc. If you'd rather start your own I can tell you it's fun and easy to do.
Thanks @adirat and @MMD1986 I just asked to join. Looking forward to a distraction!
