Virtual Bookclub?

I'm wondering whether anyone wants to join me in creating a BB Virtual Bookclub? I am part of an IRL bookclub and it works like this:

Each month someone in the group chooses a book to read. We then set a date to meet and discuss the book, and give it a rating. The 'host' does a bit of background research about the book and the author and provides it to the group.

We don't have any rules about the books that are chosen, except that it's fiction. So far we've read Eat Pray Love and The Lovely Bones.

Is anyone interested in creating a BB bookclub? Let me know what you think. I worked in a bookstore for many years, and I'm craving a bit of literary conversation.

Yeah, I scouted around and couldn't find it...if anyone can link me to it, that would be good. Is it still active?

Just grabbing this thread ;)
Yep, I'm interested

i dont think it is... probably got lost in the upgrade we had a while ago..

It didn't get lost in the upgrade it got unstickied because of lack of interest.
The last book we read was 19 Minutes. About 4 people contributed to the discussion.
The way we used to do it was select a book by the 15th of the month and post a review and maybe some bookclub questions to ponder on and then on the 1st of the month we would open up a thread for discussion.

If you go to the last pages of the thread list for this forum you'll find the discussions so you'll have some idea of how they worked.

Id be interested to join in.

is there still interest for this? if so im in!

Yep, I'm still keen. Anyone else?

Don't know where to start though...ATM I'm reading the Diana Gabaldon books again...

Im not reading anything atm so im happy starting anywhere lol i love reading but since i moved i havent joined the library here yet so good motivation to do so

Yep I'm interested...nothing too dark or heavy though or I'm out. Don't have the brain power these days

totally with you there!!
I usually read about a page at night before I zonk :lol:

I'd be keen too - last time we started again, I got really busy with a new business & I didn't get time to read the book :redface:

Maybe we could start with a book that is fairly easy to get & something popular (and not too big). The good thing about a popular/recent book is that if some people haven't got time to read at this time of year, chances are they may have read it recently & can still contribute to the discussion? Don't know, just thinking aloud here ;)

Maybe wait to hear from the mods if they want to let us try again? :redface:

i think thats a great idea HB

Me! Me! Im in! ;)

I'd be keen to get involved, although I don't think DH would be too impressed ;). He always dreads me starting a new book, because I have trouble putting them down. :lol:

im in! i love reading and would love something like that!! im reading lovely bones atm god its gd :)

Oooh, I loved The Lovely Bones!

Really keen to see how they did the movie - Stanley Tucci is a good choice for cast IMO ;)

I'm in :)

I usually have 3 or 4 books on the go at one time :)

My sister sent me The Lovely Bones a while back as a gift, I loved it.
I have given it to DD1 to read before we go & see the movie. She's loving it too :D

I'd be very interested if a book club went ahead. Always wanted to join one!!

I'd be interested too!!:dance:

I'd be interested too but just hope i will be able to keep up with everyone, i too have multiple books on the go at once and barely make it through a few pages a night... :doh:

Ok so I was thinking to make it easier to keep track of whos in ill make a new thread and you put your name on it so for example there will be me so it will go

1. ~*MrsS*~

Then your post will look like

1. ~*MrsS*~
2. Your Username

and so on

MrsS, good idea, found that thread & posted ;)

I've never been in a book club before but definitely want to give it a go!

Evening,
Just wondering is it too late to join??? I LOVE reading.. i'm reading Mark "chopper" Brandon Read's series of books at the moment but i can have a break from it :)

TIA
