Group Read

[Hufsa]

Yeah, there will be. I have the book, but haven't started it just yet. Since this month's group read was a little bit disorganized [my fault :( ], I think we will just have one thread for an overall group discussion on the book. Next time we have a group read (soon hopefully), I will have more of an idea of how everything works. I will probably make separate discussions for sections of the book. I am glad you enjoyed it...I am excited to start :)

I know what you mean! I have about 30 pages to go & I'm going to want to talk about this soon!! :'(

I can make the discussion now, and you two can start discussing. I don't want to keep both of you waiting!

Good! I finished last night :)

I'm up to Chapter 29. I'm looking forward to discussing it once I have finished reading it.

I just started! I am so excited to get right into it!

There aren't many books that we all haven't read from the list, so that does make it a bit tough for group reads in the future. I don't have anything against this at all, as long as we all keep reading books from the Top 100 List every so often (no pressure or anything; do whatever works for you). After looking at what you all posted earlier, I think there are about four books we have all not read (not for sure -- give or take a few). I think it would be best to spread out our group reads instead of doing them all at once. So what do you all think about not doing a group read next month, and instead doing one later this year?

I like it!

I find that suggestion helpful also because I already have two book clubs RL, so breaking it up a little is fine by me. When we have exhausted the books that no one has read, we can start in on the titles that one or more have read...

Sounds good to me.
