WELCOME FRIENDS! So this here will be our little book club site. Seeing as we are all over the place, getting together will be kind of impossible, so I think we should have this blog to talk as we will! I also want to look into a group skype thingy. Now seeing as I'm technologically retarded, I am not sure how that will work.
I also know that we will not all enjoy each of the books we read, so I think we should each take months for book picks. I was wondering if we wanted to do a book a month? a fortnight? What would be realistic for everyone? Comments would be helpful.
So let's get this show on the road...
My choices for the first book to read are either 1. The Help by Kathryn Stockett 2. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith or 3. Anything from Jane Austen. Please comment on which you would like to start with!
I also think we should have it read by March 15th -ish which gives us a month. I guess I will start this month, but I would like to know who will cover the next months, and what book(s) they would like us to choose from to read!
Then we will read, then we will discuss... and meet where possible! (Oh and feel free to spread the word, the more the merrier to our cyber party!)
This sounds like a good start! I am okay with any of the tittles. I own The Help, but haven't read it yet. I have read a couple of Jane Austen's books, but I am willing to read any of them. I would love an excuse to read the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. So, basically just let me know so I can get started (once I finish my current read :)).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad any will work for you! I am about 3/4 of the way through my current read, so I'm excited to get started. I will probably finish this weekend. Oh Ella my lovely, would you care to be in charge of the second month??? So the read from March 20- April 20th???
ReplyDeleteI am up for anything that I can borrow or already own. So anything by Jane Austen. I can have it read by March 15th. Also, maybe a Charles Dickens book since it is his 200 birthday year?
ReplyDeleteI am up for Austen, and I know you recommended Northanger Abbey to me.
ReplyDeleteNow as for Dickens, I have a bone to pick with that man. Annie, Beckah, Allison and I went to Broadstairs to visit his summer home, and it was CLOSED, as was the whole freaking town until tomorrow... so I was wet and disappointed. But maybe we should do one of his soon. Since you were the second to comment would you be willing to do the third month? From like April 21-May 21st????
I am good with the second month. Now I will have to come up with something fabulous. . .
DeleteHeck yes!!!
DeleteI'm excited for this! But I won't be able to join until April, for if I do I shall only want to read for fun and I won't do any homework and I shall fail all my classes and my life shall be in a shambles. But I'll stop by and say hello until then!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfectly alright Liz! Maybe we will have it all figured out by then, you'll just miss out on the first few books, but that is alright! We love you anywhoo!
DeleteYou focus on school!
Your book club is sexist. I will help you and join. But if this becomes a cyber-fight I will be Gone with the Wind.
ReplyDeleteJessepants you are awesome! Would you care to be in charge of the book choice from May 22 to June 22?
DeleteAnd I too hope to not end up in a sexist cyberfight!
Boys get to be in this club?! OK, I'll tell James.
ReplyDeleteI think that is fair! =)
