    In! I can't guarantee I will read everything on time, but I will certainly drink while participating in the threads.


    I am currently re-reading the A Wrinkle In Time books. My all-time faves. I want to read something new, but I just love these books so much.
    I just finished those not that long ago. I love them so much.

    Am I the only one that still checks out books in a real library? 
    Nope! I love the library. It's one of my favorite places in the world.
    I love the feel of a real book and flipping the pages and using whatever I can find to mark my place.  Plus I like being able to read for free (unless it's a stupid Outlander book that takes me 3-4 weeks to finish and I get a $.60 late fee)

    @jnerd You should make a new poll to pick which book we read.

    Can I put in an anti-vote for books that are super popular and likely to have long waiting lists at the library? I'd prefer not to have to go buy more books right now, as much as I do love buying books! I also don't like horror, if one gets chosen I will try it but will likely chicken out and not finish.

    Sure. Just pick a specific book to suggest so that we can vote on it.

    I'm going through my goodreads shelves soon to pick out a few things.

    I voted "I'm in if we pick what I nominate" but pretty much if it is trashy enough I will read it.

    I like Literature with a capital L and I like total trash.

    Go big or go home, I say.

    OMG. He was a teen horror writer in the 90s. How old am I?

    When I saw the name, I immediately thought of Star Trek.  I had to google to double check. I'm old too but I don't recall those books.

    I have a hold on that at the library. It looks so good.

    I'm going to start reading Flowers in the Attic. If we agree on something different I'll read that too. I'd actually love a good trashy book but I'm okay with whatever we pick.

    I want in. I can't guarantee I'll read every one, but I'll try. I like the flower in the attic suggestion.

    I will give anything a try, but I love Ya books the most

    My votes are for Flowers in the Attic or Phoenix Rising (A Ministry of Peculiar Events Novel). Anyone that wants Christopher Pike needs to suggest a specific title. Keep in mind that if a book is a part of a series we don't have to read the whole series as a group. We can read the first book and decide on something else after that's done. 

    @JNerd Can you put a poll together tonight? If not I can do it when I'm done making dinner.
