Organizing

Alright, if we're going to get this going, let's get some dates and accountability going.

It looks like we're going to do a book every other month and so far we have: The Uglies and The Book Thief? Katie are you doing this for our little book group or are you just reading it? I'll do "Left to Tell" for my book. I propose the following schedule for reading/reviewing. Nothing too technical or opinionated about this, just thought we'd better get a system or else it'll never happen.

Here's what I was thinking:

January/February: The Uglies by Scott Westerfield - review online by Mandi Feb 28th-ish or during Feb get-together

March/April: Emily's book (spiritual) - review online by Emily April 15th-ish or during April get-together

May/June: Katie's book (Book Thief or other) - review online June 15th-ish or during June get-together

July/August: Brooke's book - review online August 15th or during August get-together

September: Left to Tell by Imaculee Ilibagiza - review online September 15th or during September get-together

October: Brynnie's book - review online November 5th or during Thanksgiving get-together

November/Thanksgiving get-together: choose books for 2010 (the blessed year M&D come home!!!)

There you have it. Feel free to disagree and adjust as you think would work better. Also, let us know which books you decide on so we can plan ahead. I hope this works.

Love you all!

Helloooo

I'm pretty sure that something is wrong with me. I'm having some difficulties commenting and viewing comments for this sweet little blog. I am totally excited about this though and wondered what to start reading. I think I am going to read the Book Thief for starters, whether we read it as a group or not, because I've heard nothing but good about it. Let me know what I'm doing wrong with the blog thing and I love you, all.

So I suddenly saw the comment from the first post and you guys have way better ideas than me. So, let's scratch my list (oops I already did, thanks to editing) and let's just start. I love the idea of each person choosing a book, it makes it fun and stretches me to read things that I don't normally read but would like to. Splitting into genres is also my favorite type of Book Club. I am happy to do what ever so, let's do it, PLEASE!!! YAY!
