@locavore_mama: E just woke up from his nap so if you want me to do it it'll be a couple of hours before I can post a thread. I'm totally okay with you taking this month if you have time to get it going now
P.S. I love the idea of a classics themed month!!

@Running Elley: nah, I'm headed out soon so I'll be busy too. We'll leave this up to gain more interest! Then bam! Book selection.

I would love to join in! The idea of weekly threads sounds helpful to me so people who aren't reading as fast can participate in the thread that applies to them and not have spoilers. I would be happy to lead at some point too.
I agree with nothing too depressing, otherwise I am open to anything! I think part of the fun is reading something outside your comfort zone.

If we want to get it going now I can but if everyone is open to later @Running Elley: can lead this month.

@Cole: I agree. I'm hoping to read some things I wouldn't normally choose and hopefully enjoy it!

@locavore_mama: Doesn't matter to me. I would be fine with waiting, but truthfully I might not be around a computer much later tonight. I say whoever does open up a thread for choosing a book, leave it open for a day or two though.

I'm in! I love YA, mysteries, thrillers, romance. Prefer books that have a kindle version.

i LOVE this idea! i just joined a new book club but most of the people don't live all that close to me and at 7 months pregnant i have a feeling i won't be that committed to it! but an online book club, for which i don't have to leave my house?! PERFECT

@wheres_c: I'm not sure if this is a silly question but aren't most books on a Kindle? I've never had one so I have no idea! @Pirouette: haha these are my exact thoughts!

@locavore_mama: classics is a great idea, the ebooks are usually free too which is a nice plus!

We could do themed months too, so that way all types of books are covered? I know we all have different tastes so if for example we always did classics but someone wasn't a huge fan, then maybe the next month they would be more interested. Does that make sense? Or we could just choose a variety from different genres each time we choose books? I just want to make sure everyone can enjoy it

@Bao: @Running Elley: OK I put together some selections. I went a little more for different genres.

Yes please! I just downloaded the Cuckoo's Calling and it is great so far. So that would be my suggestion

I'm in. I haven't been reading enough. Still have to finish a marriage book and read about my toddler caveman. Fun reading will be nice.

I might be in! I'm curious what book would be chosen and it depends how swamped I would become with school
I think everyone should pick one book they have on their list "to-read" and then we can vote from there?

I'm in!! This is perfect, I voted in the other thread but wanted to make it known here that I would love to be apart of this!

Love this idea, and all of the books on the other thread look great. I'll be in this month as long as I can get the book from the library!

Choices look great and I'm in. I checked my library and they have the books. My library even has the ebook for my first choice, #1: Visitation street.
@locavore_mama: When will we know what book to get?
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@bluestriped bee: I was planning on leaving the poll up til Monday afternoon since it's the weekend. Looks like 1 and 2 are leading so I would get on the library list for both!
