Group Read

[[deleted user]]

It would be great to read a book as a group, don't you think? We could choose something that none of us have read before and discuss it as we go along.

What are your ideas for a good group book?

[Zakiya]

I'm not sure what series, but I think a series of books would be nice to read. The books will keep us interested to read the next.

That sounds like a great idea :)


Any series suggestions?

[Zakiya]

Maybe. . .the Uglies series? It's about two girls who live in a sort of utopia. There are four books and an insider's guide. I've read the first one, but I have to read it again before I start on the second.

Sounds good to me.

[Zakiya]

Well I'll make a poll on it and see what everybody else thinks.

[Creature]

Good Idea!!!

[Zakiya]

The poll will start on the 27th and end on Jan. 15th so make sure you answer it!

[Ayunda]

what's the rating? and what about.. Shiver? I heard it's good and I'm gonna buy the book soon.

[[deleted user]]

Rating? Shiver I have also. We have discussed that Shiver might be a group read this summer since linger comes out in July. But I heard that it is a good book.

[Andrez]

we could read a gr author book

[Zakiya]

That sounds like a good idea, LeONor. What author though? We could make a dicussion topic for it.

[Ayunda]

great idea!!

[Andrez]

idk...maybe:
Audrey Niffenegger
Paulo Coelho
Tamora Pierce
Kelley Armstrong
Holly Black
Laurie Halse Anderson
Melissa Marr

these are some of the most popular gr authors

personally, Id really like to read omething by Laurie Halse Anderson or Paulo Coelho

[Zakiya]

Sounds good. I'm all for Audrey Niffenegger, Kelley Armstrong, or Melissa Marr. Wouldn't have a problem with reading any of the other authors either. :) We could maybe use suggested authors for next months group read?

[Andrez]

audrey niffeneggers pretty good, i just didnt suggest it because Ive akready read the time travelers wife.however, id really like to read her fearful symmetry

[Zakiya]

Yeah they both soud like really good books to me; I'm sure I could find them at Books A Million or WalMart.

[Ayunda]

soo... what will be our next group read?

[Zakiya]

Im not sure. I sent out a Broadcast asking members to send in nominations for the November - December bimonthly, but I haven't gotten any responses :(.

[Ayunda]

Ooh, why don't you make a new thread here so we can just post them here?

[Zakiya]

Alrighty. I would have done it that day, but I'vebeen so busy and tired lately.
