I have always wanted to belong to a club…

Seriously….I have always wanted to belong to a book club.  The idea of reading a novel and then spending time with like-minded people talking about the book….that would make me happy.  I just never found the time, the right group, or the right books.  So I have decided that since I have made so many great online friends that are also interested in joining a book club but just can’t seem to find the time, the right group, and the right books….that we should have an online book club.  I am still fine tuning the plans for this, but I wanted to put it out there, to get some ideas of what kind of books people want to read together, how long do think we need to read said book, etc. 

So these are the questions….leave me a comment if you would like to join us, or email me (lovebigbakeoften@gmail.com).

1.  What are some books that you have been meaning to read?  What “genres” would you like to read?

2.  How long do you think you would need to read a book? Is a book a month too much? 

3.  Would you want to be checking in through the month and discuss or just discuss after everyone has read it?

4.  Do we want to take turns choosing the books we read, or take a poll/vote?

I think that is all the questions I need some help with.  Hope you will join me.

I have had a love affair with classic English authors since high school, but am willing to venture out of my comfort zone - as long as we are not reading trash. Once a month sounds reasonable, especially for those with hectic schedules. People could make recommendations and we could do a monthly vote, stipulation being you cannot continually vote for the same book.

I am up for reading anything really, and I think a month is perfect. I also agree with voting on the books. I am excited!s
