Introduce yourself!
My name is Jo Lisa and I will serve as your moderator. This is the first time that I have attempted this, so if you have some suggestions, please feel free to share. I am excited to share this first Big Book of 2016 with lots of other readers!


Alex | 1 comments I am so excited! I am a fourth grade teacher and I love to read! I am always embarrassed about how many classics I have not read, but I rarely take the time to read them. I hope this group will help keep me motivated to read at least Jane Eyre in 2016. I love watching your videos Jo! I always feel like I am listening to a friend when I watch. I will take advantage of my snow day today to find my copy on my over crowded TBR shelf

Linda (az1cowgirl) Hello. My name is Linda and I live in Apache Junction, Arizona. Reading is my number one hobby. I love Jo Lisa's Booktube page and I find that she and I have very similar taste in books. I have never read Jayne Eyre so this ought to be interesting. Also, I've never been in any kind of a book club or discussion club. Looking forward to the fun.

Rahma Adiba | 1 comments Wasap everybody? my name is Ama. I'm just starting to read this book, yesterday. I read the Oxford-English-Picture-Readers-Colour-Edition Verse. Hahaha I got it since this was the cheapest I could found. And it was second-handed. Though, I hope this book is a good one. Let's have fun!


message 32: by Keisha (new)

Keisha Hello everyone
I'm Keisha and I started reading this book back in 2011, made it half way through and put it down. I'm looking forward to starting it all over again and making it through to the end.
