Book club?

Hi ladies
Is there a book that is currently being read for the book club?
Is there still a book club happening?? :)

Good question - currently there is no book but if there is enough interest we could probably start it up again :)
Do you have a book in mind?

Hi Dach
No I don't have a book in mind, something crime / thriller would be great if there is enough interest on that subject...otherwise I'm open to anything really.
Lets see if we can drum up some interest and get this started!!

Count me in!

Just an idea - I am just about to start reading Jodi Picoults latest called 19 minutes which is about an horrific school shooting which sounds really interesting so if people think this would be a good one to start with thats great if not no woories. I always love to hear other recommendations.

Count me in too - I'm in 3 book clubs through Dymocks as I read all the time!

I can recommend a few good ones if we're stuckon getting started - Otherwise I'm happy to read anything! :D

Just wondering how do I join the book club?
I am currently reading 19 minutes but would also be willing to discuss any other book.

Emma - we haven't started yet and you are most welcome to join if it goes ahead!
Does everybody want to give it a go?
Anyone recommend a good book?

Hiya!

I would love to join in too! I am not really into crime/thriller etc, but will give it a go!! :) :)

Count me in. I might take a while to get through the book, but I can always discuss the first chapter LOL!!

I'll hang-around. Don't get much time for reading lately, hopelessly bussy. But I am intressted!! Hopefully you'll talk me into starting to read again - please do!!! :lol:
BTW I adore Jodi Picoults books. I read her My Sister's Keeper and can't get the story out of my head. It made real impact on me. I read (LOVE) crime/thrillers, am not really into any romance novels and biografies, but if written well I might just give it a try.

For those who liked 19 minutes, check out We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver.
I might be up for book clubbery - could we complile a list of books, do one a month (or more often) and then folk could dip in and out depending if they have/got/fancied the book and how much time they have?

Bx

thats a great idea Bec.
It would be good to have a variety of types/styles of books too.

Count me in too! I love Jodi Picoult books and have recently read My Sister's Keeper and am no onto The Tenth Circle, and have bought the Harvest ""something - can't remember the name!!"". I will buy 19 minutes though and get reading!

Ooh Im in!! I love Jodi Picoult - just read My Sisters Keeper and Vanishing Act which was excellent too.
So 19 minutes is it???

ok I love to read even though if I get to into a book I'm not a nice person to be around until I have read it all lol as I have to read it so fast then I alway have to go back and read it again. I loved my sisters keeper made cry like a baby but for me thats not hard as I alway cry ( even when watching neighbours and home and away ) so are we going to start with 19 minutes if so I will try and go out a buy it this week.

So 19 minutes it is then?
Ok girls, as I've never actually been in a book club before I'm not quite sure how it works, can someone tell me how it goes?? :)

I'm about a third of the way through 19 minutes and am still happy to discuss it! I think Jodi Picoult is a wonderful writer. I've also read My Sisters Keeper, The Tenth Circle and The Pact. The Pact was such a good book that I read it in a few days whilst on honeymoon!

Bec - I suggested We Need To Talk About Kevin to someone else who loved 19 minutes in another thread!!!!
I just loved it!!!

Girls, I am happy to read anything & discuss it - How do we make the decision what we are reading, when do we start, do we do it monthly, etc???

I'm happy to offer some advice - I'm in a few bookclubs.

Basically we all nominate a book or 2 so we have a list, and then decide which book from there.

We usually give it a month if its average size (approx 300 - 500 pages), and then discuss it, and choose the next one & go again!!!

It seems like 19 minutes sounds popular on here - I'm happy to read anything!
Even if we choose a book thats terrible, its always a good discussion!!!!!
