Re: Book Club Monday

  • I don't even know right now.

    Reading wool, then it expired because my new nook restarted. So I started reached (matched #3),but then I realized wool was still on my old nook. So I went back to that.

    Listening to Maze runner, but I forgot to add the last 2 discs to my ipod... So I started the magicians. It's ok so far... But now I have maze runner book available to read. Ah!

  • Finished The Stand last week.  Haven't started anything new yet, busy this week getting ready for vacation and collecting books to read on the beach.  

    Suggestions for beach reads?

  • I finally finished Hystera...really enjoyed that one, overall. It's weird and atmospheric and just plain satisfying.

    Started reading The Maze Runner last night, and it's managed to grab me from page 1. I ended up staying up way too late reading the first several chapters. Oops.

  • I am reading A Thousand Pardons by Jonathan Dee and listening to The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

    As for my goal, I have finished 26 of 30 books. I may have to reevaluate my goal for the year but I did the same thing last year where I read a bunch in the beginning of the year and them slacked off towards the end.

  • I know that judging what I post here on Book Club Monday my taste in books seems super weird (and it is) but when I'm on the beach I will read anything.  I've even been known to pick up a Danielle Steele if it's lying around.  :-O  Anything entertaining!  And I read really fast so I will probably go through a book per day.

    So I have been thinking that we should start our own book list so that we can really see what others have read and what rating they gave it.  I thought it would be a good way to get some recommendations too.  Because of that, I have created a google doc that everyone can add their books to.  Here is the link (clicky).  I hope it works.  I will post it in all of the Book Club Monday posts. 

    ETA: If you want me to add tabs for prior years, I can do that too.  Just let me know.  :)

  • If we have read the same books, why don't we group those together so we can see the multiple ratings for the same book right next to each other?

  • Not to be snarky, but that's what good reads is for. We can start at group on there and see what people are reading, ratings, start discussions...

  • I have never used good reads for groups before. We could start on if everyone wants to.

  • I don't know how to start a group, but I'd be up to joining one if we made one! :)

  • I started one and invited the people I'm already friends with. If I missed you, sorry! Yell at me and I'll find you.

    I'm just lazy and probably won't add books to something besides goodreads.

  • I got really excited when I saw the goodreads invite this morning.  Mostly because I finally finished the book I've been reading for months.  I was getting too many migraines to read at all so now that they stopped I'll hopefully be able to get back with it!  I finished VA#2 Frostbite and really liked it.  I wish I could have read it faster, my brain just would have no part of it!

  • How do we want to organize the books we add? Genre? Everyone should be able to add books, book shelves, start discussions, etc.

  • I'd say genre would be good. Will it show the different ratings that each of us had?

    I'm not sure... We can try it with a book a lot of us have read.

  • I added vampire Academy since @seipel12 put it fresh in my mind. If you click on book shelves, and view activity you can see the ratings of the group members.
