So... Let's stop talking and make it happen. Who's with me?
Nominate books in the comments pls

The night is still young.

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.

I will do it but only trashy books that remind us our youth, please.*

*with lots of sex parts

We could call it The Drunk and Trashy Book Club. For alcoholic skanks who can read.

Ereaders are awesome. Esp for buying books without getting out of bed. And being able to read them instantly.

I love my Kindle but nothing beats picking out a new book at the store.

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)

[Deleted User] · December 2014

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

JNerd · December 2014

Let's give it until the end of the day for nominations, then we will make the pole and go from there.
Yes?

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.

pepperedmoth · December 2014

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 mentioned The Map of Time above, not sure if it got missed

Edit: quote fail

I looked this one up. I'd be on board with reading it.

Christopher Pike was my favorite author in middle school. I will join if he is picked.

I read his earlier stuff inthe 80s. I love being an oldie.

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

[Deleted User] · December 2014

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.

angelashly · December 2014

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

emeraldanchor · December 2014

I want to join! Reading is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Plus, this will be a great way to start participating more on the board!

conradraging · December 2014

i second gone girl because i already bought it.

jht14 · December 2014

I'm in. I'll read anything.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

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.

JNerd · December 2014

Sure can!

Reminder to please suggest specific books so we know what our options are.

Fiiiiine. I recommend Remember Me by Christopher Pike.
That was one of my favorites!!

That one still creeps me out just thinking about it.

JNerd · December 2014

Putting it up shortly

JNerd · December 2014

@guiltypleasures‌ could you please post the pole?
Squeaker is melting down and I need to calm her before she wakes DS.
Thank you!!

[Deleted User] · December 2014

I'm putting it together now! I added a trashy romance because people asked for it.
