So what is the October book?

I'm curious about that too!

[Kendy]

If you need extra help running the group, let me know. I would love to help out where needed :) I'm a m curious about the October book as well! :)

[Catherine]

I hope this group isn't folding up. Even though I post very little, I look forward to seeing what the next read is going to be. It seems very close to the end of the month without a poll.

[Mindy]

Me too. I just got here and was so excited to find this group.

[Jeanine]

Maybe the administrator is ill or had an accident or something?

[Mindy]

or a family emergency. :-( Hope all is well, Laura.

I can help out, too, Laura, if help is needed! Hope all is well!

[Holly]

Sorry guys I forgot I was in charge of October's read. Let me compile suggestions and I will get that a poll out today ending this Friday. Sorry for the short notice! Totally slipped my mind!

I have the October Read poll up and running. Sorry for the delay.

[Mindy]

Thanks Holly!

[Holly]

No problem.

[Holly]

Has anyone heard from Laura or Colleen (she's the leader for Q4)??? I don't want to step on toes and post a poll for the Q4 book, but I know there are probable some who want to start...

[Stephanie]

I know Laura had a busy summer. I think we should have more than 1 moderator. Thanks for putting that poll up Holly!!

[Kim]

I agree more than one mod would be good for this group!

[Holly]

Alright, I went ahead and created a poll for the Q4 read. I think I timed out the poll on Monday so vote fast!

[Holly]

October's read is Carrie. I'll open a thread later today for it.

I'll post Q4 as soon as that closes.

[Frau Spätzle]

Thank you, Holly! :)

[Celine]

Thank you Holly! For once, I am going to listen to the audiobook instead of reading the book. I think it could nice to listen to it in the evening as i potter around the flat and drink an infusion...

[Holly]

Reminder, you have until Tuesday to vote on Q4's reread (I thought the 9th was Monday ooops). Get those votes in if you haven't already. :-)

[Holly]

Ok everyone! Poll is closed and Q4's reread is.....Slaughterhouse Five! Thread will go up today.

If anyone knows how to get a hold of Colleen, I'm not her f

[Holly]

Friend here, so I can't message her. I'll start the discussion until she can take over. Sorry for the two posts...I hit enter accidentally :-/

[Frau Spätzle]

I'll message her! Thanks for organizing the polls etc., Holly!

[Holly]

Thanks Sonne! I set up the thread for her. All she's gotta do is start the discussion
