Book selection

Book selection

Hi ladies!!! I'm exhausted it has been a CRAZY work week so far, and it isn't even half over...YIKES!

Ok, for all of you have joined the book club...I just posted a thread on how books will be selected...I'm also going to paste it here...
(****Anyone still interested in joining, FM me your e-mail address and I will send you an invite***)

Ok so I have done a little research on how online book clubs fairly pick their next book. Here is what I have found to be most common...

1. A thread will be posted where everyone can make a recommendation for next month's book (only one per person)

2. In a word document, I will list the books, and assign each a number in the order they are recommended

3. The website random.org will pick 3 books and a poll will be set up for all members to vote on them

4. The vote will be done before the end of the month (at least a week), so everyone will have time to obtain the upcoming book in time for the following month

Example of an ideal time line...

-Weeks 1 & 2 of the month...member recommendations posted
-Week 3...polling
-Beginning of Week 4...upcoming book results will be announced

I hope this works for everyone! We can always make adjustments if we need too! I'm open to suggestions!

Re: Book selection

I just finished reading Safe Haven!

What a great book choice! I started it last night because I was bored watching the superbowl and then I read another hour at the gym today and even was reading throughout Gossip Girl. I could not put it down!!!

Whats the next step with the book club? We go over it online?

Re: Book selection

When should we have the book finished by? I am going to Florida the 24th until the 28th so I was thinking hopefully I will be laying by the pool reading!

Re: Book selection

There isn't really a deadline, just that we will 'officially' start the next book in March. The discussion will be ongoing in the threads...very casual, NO pressure at all! I don't want anyone stressing out over this, it is supposed to be fun and carefree! No one will be judged for not reading their book by Feb 28th, I promise!!! So happy everyone is enjoying the book, it was definitely a great one to start with! :)

Re: Book selection

last week it got into the 80's....as long as it hits 70, you can lay out because the sun is STRONG! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! (And me too...I have been dying to get back out by the pool!)
