I just got a Kobo for Christmas, and I have read about 4 books so far, but I am looking for more ideas.
Would anyone else be interested in starting a book club here for this year?

I would, i tried last year and people lost intrest but it wouldnt hurt to try again
I will host a month for sure

YES!!z

I would be in!

For sure! Though, no hosting for me until school is out - I just never know how busy I'm going to be!

How does it work??? I love to read but not sure how it works on the forum!

Ok...not too much interest here
It looks like on previous years everyone signed up for a month and then picked a book to read and discuss.
Do you guys think if we did 1 book every two months it might make it more managable?

I can go through a book in a few days, so I'm fine with whatever everyone else is comfortable with!

I'd love to just hear what everyone is reading! I know everyone is reading a book at the moment, and I can't for the life of me remember what it is called, but I know I want to read it (how's that for cryptic) lol. Its about a girl that comes to America, and she is put to work in a sweat shop, but then she gets a schorship to a college to make a better life for herself. I know the storyline is a whole lot better than that, but that is the gist of it. Does anyone know what it is called??

I have had two books sitting on my bedside table for weeks now, but havn't yet picked up either one. I have Golden Earrings by Belinda Alexandra that I got for Christmas that I know I am really going to love sitting there, but I am saving it for when we go camping at the end of the month.

I'm reading 11/22/63 right now by Stephen King and I can't put it down!

right now Im reading Extremely Lound and Incredibly Close - wanted to get it read before the movie and it is INCREDIBLE - so good! oh its by Jonathan Safran Foer!

I think every other month is perfect!

I would be totally in, but if I'm hosting gota warn ya, I'm a vampire smut freak!

I've read over 40 books on my iPad since Novermber, so I'm game for anything.

One a month would be perfect. I'd play along.

me

I am ready to play along! Should we start a schedule? It would be fun!

ok who wants to sign up for a month

How about we discuss each book after the 15th?
So Feb 15
then Apr 15, June 15, Aug 15, Oct 15

I'll take one

I'd be interested too, though with teaching, I tend to fall behind when I'm grading the term paper.

What will we be responsible for during our month? Picking the book and do we need to have questions?

I think this is a fabulous idea and I'm happy that so many other members are starting to support. I can host April 15 if that's not taken yet Nessa :)

I'm really sorry that I have left this fall by the wayside. I just started back at school, and I work full time. I suggested this before school started and there wasn't much response. If someone else would like to take this on I will try to participate, but I just can't add something else to my plate right now. Sorry guys :(

Caz...how did it work in previous years?

I did a month last year- I think all we did was choose a book each month and then we were responsible to start a thread on it and check back every so often. It wasn't too time-consuming...I'd be game to do it again.

I'll take it over. I'll start a new thread and ask people to pick a month.
