Anyone interested? Ann Glos

me me me!!!

Keep it going Ann. Jacquie xxxx

Ann I shall try and take part, but am really not sure how much time I will have now that I am studying Dee xx

Dee, are your study books worth us reading? our comments might help you! So that is 5 interested so far, if not all taking part every month. maybe we can get a few more. any suggestions as to how to captue peoples interest? i think some don't read the Greaders threads. Ann Glos

I seem to remember a couple of others did express an interest Ann - but I think it was on one of the 'missing' threads. Maybe a few more will pop up this evening. Maz. XX

are they all fiction books Ann? I prefer non-fiction books myself - self help books and that sort of thing.

Louise, it can be either, especially if we have two choices in a month Ann glos

I'm interested, I've never read the threads before, although have been aware of them. What is really involved? Suex

Just checked back to the beginning and there were several people who suggested books and voted but who never ever did a review. i wonder if a month is too short a timescale for some people, maybe we should have two choices, one for a one month review and the other for a two month review, so that in the second and subsequent months for those who want to there would be two to read and review. Does that make sense? Ann Glos

Sue, The members suggest a book they think would be a good read by a given date, then on a date about a week later they vote on all the suggestions. One or two books that come out top in the vote are the books for that month/two months. a date is given for the review. A separate thread is posted for the review. Post review the idea is that there should be a discussion about the whys and wherefore but, so far that has not really happened. That is a rough idea. i will sort it out more fully and put it on a separate thread when we have a few more people. if we don't have enough people the club dies because not everyone is able to review every month. I am also open to suggestions, don't want this to be autocratic. Ann Glos

Ann, That's about what I expected, I need a kick up the backside to read more, so..........I'm for it .please. Suex

I would like to join as long as we never ever have to read Cloud Atlas again! Julie xxx

I am interested, but I can't guarantee that I will participate every month - depends how busy life gets. But I do really like reading and could do with something new to get into. I assume you get the books from your library or do you all manage to pick up cheap copies? Always thought it sounded quite fun and interesting. Kaye x

Kaye, I have managed to get the books from the library, our will pull them in from another one in the county for 70p. I have also bought a copy if I wanted it, like Rebecca, or sometimes youc an get them in Charity shops if they are older books. all welcome, doesn't matter if you can't manage every month. ann Glos

Please, please. *jumps up and down waving hand in the air* May I join your book club?

Can we please keep this near the top for the evening/night time people to see. Thanks Ann Glos

ruby Tuesday Welcome ann Glos
