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!

Annie, I was just going to start the book thief for the sake of having something good to read. I am happy to wait until late to discuss it. This sched. looks great. I'm fine to be in charge of that book, but I also love the idea of having a classic in there so you guys say. I think if we choose to include the "classics" genre I'll choose Jane Eyre for my classic. I've heard it's a wonderful read and a great Movie to watch afterwords and that would be a totally fun girls (and maybe guys too?) night out together. I will get The Uglies for now and get started. I'm so excited. It would be great if you did a post about it, Mand. Maybe things to notice, brief summery, enough to get us started. Maybe moving week is the exact wrong time to ask this so disregard it if you want. Love you, all!
really lengthy comment, sorry.
Sorry to bother but can I make a request to have my review time during the summer? I can't guarantee I will read during the semesters so that's the only reason...don't hate me. Other than that, it looks great. Love having this sister thing to keep us together! Is there some way to get emails when there are posts too? I tried to figure it out but don't know how. Guess I'm retarded.
and I love you all. Sorry I forgot to say it.
And I wanted to copy Katie doing two comments.
