A few months ago, I initiated a read-a-long segment of my blog. I didn't realize it would go over so well (thought maybe only two or three of us would be reading) but it has turned out wonderful! Right now we are on our second book, John Adams after having already finished Villette.
Because these conversations are going so well (we break down the reading and check in once a week) I'd like to carry them over to this group. Instead of having a poll each month, I'd like to make the read-a-long book the official group book. If you would like to join in on the discussion each week you can check in at my blog. Or, if you want to carry on a conversation during the week, in between check-ins, you can do it here in a discussion forum.
Please note, this does not mean that you can't read other books together... Please do! Open a forum for discussing any book you choose! Just know that the official book will be per the read-a-long because I am better able to keep a good discussion going that way.
Of course, if this does not work out, or is highly disagreeable to you all, we can figure something else out. I hope you'll join in the read-a-longs, they've been a lot of fun! To see the schedule for upcoming books, go here: http://unputdownables.net/read-a-longs/
