Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Book Club!
Do anybuggy want...
Do anybuggy want to start a book club? Maybe for just 1 or 2 books, depending on how interested people are. I know there have been some threads on book clubs before, but from what I've seen, they've taken a REALLY long time to get started, if they even got started at all. Here you can suggest the books and discuss how we'll do it, etc. I'll start a different thread once we've got everything figured out.

Hi guys! Sorry if I'm a bit late, but can I join? I think this is a wonderful idea, and I would love to get involved! Where are we exactly in the list at the moment? Who's turn is it to pick, and if they've picked, which book are we reading? I hope it's not too late to join...

You can join, Leaf! I don't think it's ever too late; anyone can really join whenever they want, although if they do it in the middle of a book they'd have to be very fast to catch up quickly enough. It's Cherry's turn to pick (she's 3rd on the list; Kendra, the 2nd, didn't respond, and we had to skip her turn), but she isn't responding... I think I'll have to reply to everything she says, because Olive and I have both each tried on threads that we thought would work, and Cherry didn't say anything. If she still doesn't, we'll have to have the next person do it, I suppose.

<Ima: I alerted Cherry on her TAPM on the 13th of June, so how 'bout if she doesn't respond by the 22nd, we go on to the next person. ;-)>
Cherry hasn't responded yet. It's already the 25th. We should probably move onto the next person. (I can alert Mary W. on the RP thread we're participating in, I'll just wait for you guys to agree to go onto the next person, don't want any hard feelings)
Leaf: Of course you can join! Right now, we're trying to bring people back to this thread, but basically it's just me, Ima, Kimberly, and I think Vida.
Vida: You can join too if you want. ;-) (but here's some advice, since there's already a book club thread, I don't really recommend making a new one, but that's just my opinion)
I think you should move on to the next person to pick a book. Cherry has been posting on other threads. How about a rule that if you don't pick a book when it's your turn, then the turn automatically goes to the next person after three days. Then the skipped person could have a later turn. I think the focus should be reading and talking about the books, not spending so much time waiting for someone to pick a book. Get your lists ready soon, so when it's your turn, you'll have a title ready.

Hey! Me too! I just went on a trip. We should move on.

Oh Olive, I saw a post from Cherry saying that she knows that it's her turn, but she can't decide on a book. Just so you know.

Should we go to Mary and then let Cherry go at the end once she chooses her books? And I'm all for what Admin suggested.
(June 28, 2010 - 6:07 pm)
First of all, Olive's comment isn't up yet, so I can't reply to that. But it's ML's turn to choose the book now. I'll go ask her...
(June 28, 2010 - 8:08 pm)
OK
(June 28, 2010 - 9:39 pm)
I agree with Olive. And Admin.
(June 29, 2010 - 5:36 pm)
Me too. Sounds like a plan to me!
