Remember Me?

I'm the idiot who hasn't posted in forever. MY BAD!

Well, I have randomly put up another list for the future months. Here they are

Fe - March

Brandon - April

Rachel - May

Brittni - June

Karen - July

Shawn - August

I haven't missed anyone have I? Anyway, I want to apologize for not being more on top of this. I am still fully into this and excited to read the next book! Fe what ya got girl?

January Book

So...I have a book picked out for January. I've even purchased it already.

I picked it awhile ago, and I'm looking forward to reading it.

But I have hesitated because it seems like everyone, myself included, has been incredibly busy with life and other things.

So, instead of announcing the January book quite yet, I thought I'd just ask if you are all ready for a new one or if you'd like to give it a bit more time, finish up the December short stories, recover from the holidays, whatever.

Thoughts?

Cleaning Up

So I like the idea that Karen has come up with. Trying to get everyone involved would be a good idea. At least have people create a post each month with their own thoughts on the book we are doing.

I've noticed that most people are just getting their copy of Brandon's choice. What does everyone think about extending his book to November? That way everyone can start to read that book instead of rushing through it and reading Novembers choice. Just an idea... let me know what you think.

One more thing. Can everyone who is interested in continuing this book club comment on this post? I think its time to clean up the authors who are not participating in it. So far I believe Brandon, Brittni, Fe, Karen, Shawn and I are the ones who are still reading and giving our opinions. So, if I don't get a response from anyone else from this post I'll assume they are no longer in the club. Also if anyone else wants to be added as an author and be apart of our good times leave a comment with your e-mail address and I will send you an invite to get involved.

Can't wait to start reading again!

Love you all!

I've Been Thinking...

So I totally love being in this online reading group and we've had some awesome books so far.

I haven't gotten to this month's selection yet, but I've ordered it and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.

I realized that I never posted my feelings on The Shack, mostly because I didn't finish reading it until a week into October.

We're all busy, busy, BUSY people. I am. And I know y'all are too.

BUT.

I'm thinking that maybe we need a little bit more structure in order for this group to really work. I'm not entirely sure how to go about it, but perhaps breaking each book down in fourths and taking some time to post something every week? Or maybe on the last week of each month we can post a different topic each day like themes, characters, symbolism, and overall message?

Like I said, I'm not entirely sure. Partly because I don't really know any of you very well and I don't know your preferences or what works for you. I am just throwing it out there because I think this group is a great idea and I think it can become something amazing.

Oh, and would it be possible to post the selection schedule in the sidebar? I keep going back through the archives to check the list on the original post just so that I make sure not to get ahead of myself.

Anyway, thanks! Y'all are awesome!

Running with Scissors: Now What?

Hey, everyone!

I finished the book. Anyone else? Am I the only one?

I hope not. I cranked through it this weekend since it was a quick (albeit disturbing) read.

Was I the only one that kept asking if this was REALLY a true story? I kept shaking my head and wondering how in the world people could actually live like that, and how this doctor could keep his practice for so long.

And how in the world could Augusten turn out like anything resembling normal?

Need Some Clarification

Ok, kids.

Now we have finished the first book----well, like two weeks ago.

So----what happens next? So do we all leave our review or do we just comment?

I am trying to get the new one from the library, but have had WAY TOO much on my plate. Will we be able to finish the new one by the end of July or is it going to be rough to do this during the summer time?

I know, should be perfect----reading at the beach and all----but who the heck has time for that----with trips and family visiting, theatre for me and gigs on the weekends....

Let me know your thoughts.

Let me know SOMETHING!
(Did I mention that I was dramatic?)
