Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Book Club!
I was flipping...
I was flipping through some old threads when I came across one mentioning some "Book Club Round". It sounded interesting and I would llike to know what you do there. If anyone's interested we could also do a book club!
Interested people took turns suggesting a book for the group to read, with the goal of discussing it either as they went along or after the book was finished. It seemed to take a long time to decide what book to read, for everyone to get it, etc. I think it was successful with one book by Shannon Hale, and maybe a few more. I'd support a new book group.

I'll join! I'm already in another book club, but I don't mind reading two books at once.
Elizaberth M, looks like we had the same idea yesterday! Admin wasn't on for a long time (at least 14 hours!), so I just passed the time by looking through some old threads! I found a lot of cool things there. I made quite a few new threads trying to "reproduce" the old ones. Were you doing the same thing? :-)

I'll join! I'd rather not read LW, though; I've already read it, and I actually didn't like it. Most people I know do, though, so if that's what everyone else wants to read, that's fine.

What about the Anne of Green Gables series? And if too many people have read that already, we can read some of the later ones in the series like books 6, 7, or 8.

I think we should read something that none of us has read. I know a lot of books that I haven't read, but other people have. Do any of you know any that none of us have read? What do you think of Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift or Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott? I haven't read either one yet, but I have been planning to for awhile. I have read these, but have any of you read the Besty-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace? It's been awhile so I only vaguely remember what happens. It starts at Elementary school reading and into sort of High school reading. Like who would be interested in it?

@ Princess P.-- Oh, then we both were doing the same thing! I thought that you'd seen this thread and made the same thread... :) I like Anne of Green Gables, I've only read the first book though...
@ Ima-- It's OK if you don't want to read that!
Hmm... Has anyone read Treasure Island? Jane Eyre sounds really good so I want to read it sometime (though Ima you just read it, right?). The Hunger Games...

I haven't read TR, but I've been wanting to read more classics, so I think that's a good idea. I did just read Jane Eyre; it was really, really, really good, though, so it's fine if that's what everyone else wants to read. What about Ursula K. LeGuin? She's one of my favorite authors, but I've only read a few of her books, and I'd love to read others; I think most of you would really like her books. They're great.
Since we've all read such different amounts of Anne books, I'm not sure we could really make that one work.
