that certainly fits the bill for proper theme for October, cause I cant think of anything more horrifying than reading 50 shades haha.

Hey guys, well if we really are doing this leta get the ball rolling. Lets hear some suggeations for October picks.
Ill come up with some by tomorrow.

So remember the whole point is to specifically suggest a book or books that for one reason or another you dont expect to like it. Either something political about the author, the subject matter, or even itsjust a concept so bad you dont know how it was even published lol.

the idea is to try and learn to find those small nuggets of redeeming qualities in things u would normally avoid.. and get better perspective on the books you DO enjoy and what they do so well.

Side note. Ive been toying with the idea of doing a bog giveaway either annually or every few months (the less often Its done, the more money I can dedicate to the prize)... for each time a member males itthrough the month WITHOUT DNF'ing the book.. ull get a entry and then if u ALSO go on to do a video for it a second entry.

heh no word on prizes yet cause that idea literaly came to me while I wrote this post heh.

So October Suggestions?? ;) Idl wouldnt be opposed to aome hallowee /scary suggestions to fit the months mood but its not mandatory heh.

Wow, welcome folks. :)
This whole thing was kind've made on a whim so bare with me here. Lol. I'll try to get looking all cool and badass in the next day or so.

That being said I really liked the idea of doing this, we all read a lot so I don't know if we really would do this each month, maybe bi monthly? though I'm certainly down with one a month.

I guess the best thing to start off with is suggestions.

Olive came up with this one, but is there any better suggestions anyone would like to offer up?

The frequency of which we read? Monthly, bi monthly? etc

And simply the mechanics. Should we just alternate between people making selections. The way I see it, I doubt we'll actually be able to consistently find books that EVERYONE expects to dislike. So I was thinking maybe take turns and have a member select a book.. or maybe (if more people get involved) pick like two or three to choose from and we vote on it.

This means you're not ALWAYS reading terrible fiction. Sometimes what someone expects to couldbe something you're looking forward too.

Anyway, that's just my spitball of a thought process. What do you all think??



By the by.. I'm pumped for this idea. lol even if not a good reads group I would most likely ended up doing this on my channel regardless heh. :)
