anyone want to do a BOOK CLUB?

I'm noticing on the latest GTKY that a lot of us really like to read!!! I would really love to do a book club with you ladies, as I have never done one before and have always wanted to.

I don't really know how they work but I imagine we pick a book, read it, and then talk about it? Haha.

I've been in a reading mood!

Re: anyone want to do a BOOK CLUB?

  • Yes I would love this!

  • I'm in too.... anything non-pregnancy would be great!! It can be my little escape. I feel like I am reading parenting and pregnancy books constantly so I would appreciate something different. Count me in.
  • Sounds fun!
  • I'm in too!
  • That sounds fun but I just started book 5 of the dark tower (there are 7)! I'll totally play if there's one going on when I'm done though. :)

  • I'm in! Semester is ending so I'll have more time to read.
  • The hubby and I are reading the dark tower series together, and I just finished Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

    I'm pretty open to practically any books, but I am a fan of historical fiction, fantasy, and science-y things. I'm so glad there's such an interest! Life gets pretty boring for me in the summers between semesters and with DH deploying, I will need something to occupy my time!

    Goodreads has a list of popular book club books if we need help choosing something!

    I'm in! The Book Thief was awesome--one of those books that qualifies as young adult but is great for not-so-young adults. I was very interested in reading The Goldfinch too, so that gets my vote.
  • I wanna play!  I have been wanting to read a book recently but nothing has caught my attention.

  • I haven't heard of The Goldfinch, but if others are wanting to read it, I am totally up for that one!

  • Me!  I've been into a lot of fantasy stuff lately, but I can read pretty much anything.
  • I'd be interested. I just started reading Anna Karenina and I wouldn't mind reading something a little less....long as well.
  • I'd be interested, depending on the book! I like to read graphic novels :-P but of course I read traditional books, as well! I *love* memiors, but I also enjoy a good, compelling fiction, mainly sci-fi or supernatural stuff, or comedies! I've always wanted to read David Sedaris - I saw him do a live reading once and it was hilarious!

    I wanna join.  

    I read the Book Thief last month, it is a great book, but pretty emotional.  I would certainly be up for reading it again.

    The Gold Finch is on my list and I have read the first two books from the Divergent series and those were pretty good.

     Other books on my list for the year are Gone Girl, Miss Peregrin's Home for Peculiar Children and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.  I like most all genres...the Game of Thrones books are great, but pretty long.

  • I haven't heard of The Goldfinch, but if others are wanting to read it, I am totally up for that one!

    Usually a few suggestions are given and somebody makes a poll for everybody to vote for their favorite.



    Well, in that case, I haven't read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but would like to - I just figured most people will have read it!

    Other books on my to-read list are Water for Elephants and Charles Darwin's Origin of Species (which I doubt anyone else actually wants to read).

  • I'm in! I read a good mix of things and don't mind branching out to a new genre.

  • I'm a reader but lately I have been having a hard time getting interested in books! I'm game though!
  • I love this idea! My girlfriends and I always try to do a book club but we can never find a date we're all free. That wouldn't be an issue online ;)

  • I'm in too. I just finished up 2 books and have been looking for something new to start.

    @RedBirdFly‌ Wanna make a book choice poll at some point since this was your idea? :)

    Maybe later today or tomorrow to give more ladies a chance if they are interested in this and everyone can give their suggestions? Then the majority of the poll would be the book we read first?

    Yep! I can totally do this tomorrow morning!

    I would be interested in doing this!  I haven't read a book in a while and have been wanting to.  Has anyone read Book of Negroes??  Such an amazing story and I am going to read it again since it has been years. 
  • I'm in, I've been looking for new books to read. Right now I am rereading the second book of the Sword of Truth series, which has been my favorite fantasy series! But I am up for any book.
  • i am definitely interested!

    i've been stuck in a slightly shameful young adult books only phase. but i'm open to branching out! ;)

    orphan train is another book that looked interesting to me.
    our family consists of myself, my wonderful husband and my 3 sweet step-kiddos.
    and this little girl!

  • I would be interested too. I am in between books right now and nothing is catching my attention so something new and different might help :))

  • YES PLEASE! I really need suggestions... and motivation to read something good!

  • I would probably participate! I love to read, but with the last book club I was in I read Say You're One of Them (a collection of terribly sad short stories about life in Africa) and it kinda ruined me. I cried so much the whole time I read it, that I've basically read juvenile fiction ever since, haha! So as long as it isn't terribly sad, I'm down to read an adult book again. :)
  • I'm in! I'm just finishing up a book now, but I'd be ready to start a new one in a few days!!!!!
