Anyone want to start a book club?

Firedancer1013 · May 2011

I saw this idea kind of on another board, but would anyone want to start a book club for real? We could pick a book and then read a chapter or two per week and talk about it in a weekly check in. I used to be in a book club with some girlfriends and I loved it and now miss it. What do you ladies think?

I'd be into it. As long as we don't pick parenting/sleep books.

Lol. yes. Hopefully we'd stick to fiction, or is it nonfiction? I always forget which one is the made up one...

I love reading. I use my pumping time to read. Last year my mom bought me a kindle and I it's great. I can carry around tons of books without hurting my back.

I just finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown this morning. Not sure what to read next.

Firedancer1013 · May 2011

Hmm, well does anyone have any suggestions as to what to start with? I love thought provoking books, and am currently reading some stuff from Paulo Coelho, but I can do anything really.

That reminds me...I need to get a pumping bra so I can pump hands-free. I sit there 3x a day and hold the cups on there. I've gotten really creative with the way that I hold both with one hand/arm so I can massage out a couple more drops, but seriously, it's just time to invest in a bra.

Also, I read The Lost Symbol last year! Thought it was just as good as the first two.

Should we give it a day or so and see if anyone else wants to join? Then we could throw out some suggestions. Agreed, definitely fiction (the made up stuff Wink ) is the way to go.

definately get a pump bra. It's worth it. It made my life so much easier and I came to enjoy pumping. H can't say much if I'm sitting around reading since I'm pumping.

I was just looking online to order a pumping bra, and OMG, the pictures they use to advertise these things. Pretty sure she has white-out in those bottles.

P.S. Sorry for hijacking this post.

I mostly lurk, but would love to be a part of the book club....if you'll have me Smile

emerlyn · May 2011

I'm in!

courtneyt13 · May 2011

I'd like to join, but I am going to apologize in advance if I don't read the book in time. I use to finish a book every few days, now with working and DD I think I have read maybe 4 books in the past 3 months. I promise to try. Smile

cuadrakaren · May 2011

i love this idea!

i have 2 book suggestions: the shack and the art of running in the rain. i haven't read either but have been meaning to.

how will we make the final book decision? will someone be in charge of picking the book and leading the discussion?

Kris10 Nicole · May 2011

I'm a major lurker... but I want to play. Big Smile

daisygirl2010 · May 2011

I know nothing about either book but running in the rain sounds fun! If people want to suggest books in this post I can make a clicky poll in a few days and we can vote on the book. Maybe whoever suggested the winning book can make discussion questions, or if they don't want to someone could volunteer?

I'd like to play. I'm not a reader, but I want to be...maybe this will give me some motivation

danayandcory · May 2011

I'm in! Although like PP said, pace all depends on DD's behavior. I can't get through books near as fast as I used to. I'm always interrupted these days.

MnM217 · May 2011

I'm in....I'll think a bit and try to suggest something soon...I've been re-reading my favorite series..by Diana Gabaldon..first one is outlander..fantastic!

MnM217 · May 2011

I'm impressed! I've read zero. I'm in a IRL book club and haven't read our book this month, but I'd be in. Someone should get a poll running for books.

MnM217 · May 2011

I've been wanting to read the lincoln lawyer, heard its good

pajahbear · May 2011

slcmomma · May 2011

I bought a pumping bra and it's great but I also bought a cheap sports bra that buckles up the front at walmart and cut my own holes in it and honestly it works just the same but was so much cheaper!! Oh and I want in on this book club!!

hkmum · May 2011

Aviee · May 2011
