If you are interested in chosing a book and leading a light discussion about the book, please sign up below. It was suggested in the previous thread that we have the discussion on the 15th of the month, so March 15th would be the first sign up, the April 15th and so on.

I would be interested, but probably because of commitments that would probably be best around April or May,if that's cool?

I can't commit to leading a discussion, but I did want to pop in here and say that I LOVE that we're doing this. :)

I'm interested in joining the book club, but most likely won't be able to lead a discussion. I'd love to read along with all of you. I'm a slow reader, so I don't know if I could finish a book in a month.

Okay it sounds like a few people are interested in reading at least. Anyone have suggestions for books, for a discussion in April I think since it's almost March?

Would love a new book to read -

Suggestions:

Gift of an ordinary day (non fiction)
11/22/63 - Stephen King (fiction) I have already read, but would be fun for a discussion

I have also been wanting to read:
Discovery of Witches
Variant

I am super excited about this! :)

Suggestions:
11/22/63 (such as awesome book & concept)
The Tiger's Wife
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
Room
Discovery of Witches
The History of Love

I've not participated in an online book club before but would be happy to give leading a disvussion a try...

I have the discovery of witches on my bedside table, unfortunately unopened, waiting to be read. So I vote for Discovery of Witches.

I'll read discovery of witches or variant with you guys!

I'd consider the Stephen King one too :D

I'm in the middle of American Gods by Neil Gaiman, I really need to be better about reading fiction. :)

i just started 11/22/63 and just purchased Discover of Witches for my Kindle. I may pop in to check on what is up with the book club periodically. cannot commit to leading a discussion but would like to participate. i always enjoy seeing what others are reading.

discovery of witches is in at my library! I'm running to get it now.

I already read Variant but I would participate in a conversation, I wouldn't reread it though.

Okay let's read discovery of witches for April and 11-22-63 for May. I am waiting on my dad to finish 11-22-63 since we went halves on it, so that it will be my turn to read it, and that will give me and and everyone else a chance to read this LONG one!

02/28/12 10:23am

Sounds like a plan. I am really looking forward to this... ; )

I'll have to download discovery of witches on my Kindle. I have been wanting to read that.

I'd be interested in this - so just to clarify, the first book is "Discovery of Witches" and first official sign up for discussion is March 15th? Should we have it already read by then, or is it okay to wait until the 15th to start reading it (i've been sucked in and just bought Hunger Ganes - eager to read that first).
Thanks in advance!

I could use some motivation to get back into reading as well. I used to read a book every week or two before I had kids. I would perhaps be interested in leading a discussion later in the year. I am a little confused though, when should we have the book read for?

02/29/12 02:38pm

Just reading from everyone's responses -- Is this correct:

March book - Discovery of Witches
April book - ??

Is anyone wanting to lead discussion?? :)

02/29/12 02:42pm

GothamGal

March-Discovery of Witches works.
April-Should we break it up into fiction and nonfiction?
I have a TON of books to read, I am sure I could come up with a few, LOL.

Also, Discovery of Witches is a little big. Should we plan on reading part of it by a certain time or all of it by a certain time?

02/29/12 11:10pm

Rachel Z

Sorry ladies. I got busy this week and missed the questions. Because both of the books are pretty long let's plan on this:
Let's have Discovery of Witches read by April 15th and I'll post a few questions for discussion and others can add more questions to add to the discussion.
And we can plan on May 15th for 11-22-63.

I was able to pick up Discovery of Witches from the library this week and I can't wait to get started!

Perfect - thank you Rachel!

I'll jump in on the Stephen King book. I know his son Joe Hill has 2 new books coming out in May. He's an amazing writer, so maybe one of his books during the summer?
