Improving the group

[Donna]

I probably won't participate with plays but will do poetry. I agree that the mods should probably do the nominations, at least in the beginning.

Worth checking out YouTube for the plays also Margo. Had a few f..."

I never think of youtube for that sort of stuff. Certainly if it's available I'd be interested :-)

[Margo]

Sounds great Emma. I love that the group evolves constantly :-)

[Margo]

Yup - sooner you than me! For every poem I've loved there's a hundred that I haven't ;-)

I have the Penguin book of Irish Poetry on my poetry bookshelf. It's over a thousand pages long and was a gift. It is the least read of the books there. So let's see if we will change that this year.

I have collection of Kavenagh and one of Yeats that are both well used but none of my other poetry books are irish. My son loves Gaelic poetry and has a few collections but I can't read them :(

Thanks Emma

[Andy]

would it be useful to create the discussion thread and the spoiler thread at the same time for group reads, for those that want get their spoiling in early?

suggestion for a "Second Chance" group read with those nominations that came second in the polls over the course of the year
(not 100% sure on this one, if it wasn't popular enough 1st time around would it get enough interest 2nd time?)

just some thoughts

Thank you to our mods - new and old
