What are the group reads?

[Erin]

Hello all! I've seen the messages about the group reads and wondering what it is you do in with this in the group.
Thanks

[Connie]

Well, we had been picking one or more books per month to read and discuss like an online book club. It's been a few months since we did this though. Anybody want to start up again and nominate books for February?

[Beverly]

YES! A Death-Struck Year

Ooh. Great suggestion, Beverly. It would be neat to compare it to In the Shadow of Blackbirdsalso about the 1918 epidemic.

I love that idea!!!

[Connie]

Well, since it looks like nobody else suggested anything, how about we do that? Read one or both (I'm totally reading both!)of these books and start a new thread in February, even if it's just two of us chatting?

[Beverly]

I'm in.

[Connie]

I'm starting an unofficial (since I'm not the person who usually does this) thread for February. A death struck year is on order for me, so it might be nearly March before I get through both books, but if folks are reading, we should start the discussion!

All of the news coverage of the measles reminds me of both books. I'm becoming germ/virus-phobic.

Hi! Gosh it's certainly been awhile since I've been on Goodreads, and especially this group. I should hopefully be a lot more active in the coming months!

Thank you for trying to keep the group reads going and nominating books! Seeing as it's almost the end of February I'm going to create a thread for nominating books for the March group read.
