One last book club post: Book for June

If you want to participate in June, sign in here with an option of two for a book to read. I will do a poll when I get back from my conference (Thursday) to pick the book. Let's try to keep it shorter (300ish pages?) since we are already a week in to the month.

My picks: 

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Look Again

 

I also really want to read An Inconvenient Wife, but it's over 400 pages. So, I'll put it up for July.

Re: One last book club post: Book for June

  • Can we do a thread for the book club? I feel like there are so many emails to keep up with already. Also, if people want to participate one month but not the next it would be easier to join in.

  • Love the idea of the Sookie series (loved them).  Love the idea of Something Borrowed.

    I've got nothing on my 'to read' list - I'm currently reading the Harry Potter series (backwards) again for at least the tenth time.

    I have a ton to read on my to-read on Goodreads list but the ones I have in my Kindle are:

    Moloka'i (just a sample)

    The Passage

    Room

    The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

    No Footprints in the Sand (sample)

     Moloka'i is the one I want to read really bad but I'll read whatever is chosen.

    I'm a fan if this idea.  It would be a good warmup, it's a relatively quick read and (selfishly) I want to read it again before the movie.

    And I just bought it so I could read it before seeing the movie, so my vote is also YES for Something Borrowed.

    I use epubbud. It's easy to figure out. Download the book and drag and drop to your ereader file (Kindle has to be plugged in to computer via usb). I don't know about Nook. With the Kindle you need to use a program called Calibre to convert the files from epub to .mobi format then email or drag and. Drop into folder. Nook support epub format so no need to convert.

  • I'm good with Something Borrowed too. I like it and am going to see the movie with my mom tomorrow. I would love to re-read it after to see the differences. I haven't read it in a couple years.
  • I just bought it at lunch.  I figured I wanted to read it even if we didn't choose it this month so I'm ready to go!

  • Something borrowed sounds good but I'll have to see if my sister has it. There are 24 requests for it at the library. And I don't buy books. I'm cheap that way.
  • Mary do you have a smart phone? You can get the Kindle app and go the route that Kasi is doing.
  • I've been wanting to read something borrowed so I am in!! And thanks for the freebookspot.com directions!  Hoping I can do that tonight.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Something borrowed sounds wonderful!

    I don't know that I'd want to read a whole a book on my phone. Kinda small:)

    It probably would be hard to do... you can also do the Kindle for PC app and read it from your computer screen... that may be hard on the eyes also!

  • I like the idea of reading Something Borrowed and then the rest of the books in the series if we need quick reads.  I haven't read them yet and have wanted to for awhile.
