Welcome to the

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Book Club Center!
Welcome to the...

Welcome to the Book Club Center! This is where every book club starts! Well, maybe not every one of them, but most of them. Or at least they will if my idea works out! Let me explain.

Pretend you want to start a book club (actually, hopefully after reading this, you won't have to pretend!). You will come here and post saying that you want to start a book club. You pick a book that you want to read, and tell everyone which book you chose here on this thread. When you have enough people that want to read your book, make a new thread, and start reading! If you want to join a book club, you will come here and read everyone's posts. If someone suggested a book that you want to read, reply to it so that they know that you want to read it.

Hopefully this thread will help book clubs a lot. There won't be any arguing over which book to read. Once you come here, find someone who wants to read the book you want to read, and get started! Or, if no one else has suggested the book that you want to read, suggest it yourself and see if anyone else wants to join!

Once you make a thread for your new book club, post the link to your thread and the name of the book that you will be reading here on this thread. That way, people who want to read your book will be able to jump in if you aren't too far into the book. If you want to, you can post on here which chapter you are reading so someone knows how much they need to catch up.

I hope that this will solve (or at least help) the problem of deciding which book to read in each book club. I also hope that there won't be as many disagreements over books and book clubs. Please post here so we will be able to make more book clubs!

 

Thanks, Princess P. This sounds like a good idea!

Thanks, Choco! We'll wait until we have a few more people in case others want to read with us.

Thanks, Elizabeth M. and Choco! Would you like to start on the 9th? That is when I should be back from vacation. And it will give others a chance to join in. Hopefully that won't be too long to wait. What do you think? Another option is that you could all start without me, and I could catch up when I come back...

Sure, but starting on 18th, I'm gone for three weeks.

No the 9th is fine for me for starting. Are we going to read Little House in the Big Woods first?

Okay, we'll start on the 9th. Oh, and I'm leaving tomorrow just so you know...

Choco-Yes, I think we'll start with Little House in the Big Woods first, don't you think? That way, we can read through all of them.

Elizabeth M.-Maybe we could stop for a few weeks while you're gone! :-)  Or you could read the book with us while you're on vacation, but just not comment on it if you can't find a computer to use.

You shouldn't stop because of me! I'll bring it with me and read it. Just tell me where I should read to, and so on!
