Keep the Book Club Going or Not - You decide
TANNER'S MOM wrote: Ok, I love to read. And the first 2 times we did the Book Club we got a lot of responses. This time not so many.
I need help with doing this? What would make it more enjoyable for everyone.
Please remember also the point of a Book Club is to read something sometimes that wouldn't be a NORMAL read for you. I think we all need to get out of the box sometimes.
If I don't get any responses then I will not continue to do it.
Another question I have is..is there I place I could post the Book Club discussion that people would notice more. The last couple of times it was in Humor and Entainment?
Talk to me! Let me know!

GavinsMommy replied: well, i haven't participated in it yet, but i'd like to! i think you should keep it, even if there are only a few people participating. i usually like to buy my books, but since it's a book club and you often read things you don't enjoy or wouldn't want to read a second time...i suppose i could get a library card here. have to find a library first though  i love to read though and cover most of my books within a few hours, so i'm in! 
mammag replied: I would definitely like to see it kept going because I've already read two books now that I know for a fact I would not have picked up but really liked a lot.
I vote keep it going!
kimberley replied: i would like to see it keep going even if i haven't participated yet  . money and time are tight but i have a lot of titles to put on hold at the library now 
thanks for doing this Mel!
GavinsMommy replied: you said you need help...with ideas or what? i'm willing to help with anything if you ever need me and i'm sure they are too!
MomToJade&Jordan replied: I was all for this when it was started an I still am. It was hard last month with me being MIA. Plus I have read some great books lately that others might like to read. Keep it going!

My problem for not participating has been not finding it. Maybe its own section would be good? Don't know if there is enough wanting it though. Or maybe a PM message to all participants.
Then we could find the discussion.
mammag replied: Mel, I found some info that might be helpful...
Book Club Resources
I too would be willing to help out in any way that you need me.
I liked the idea on the link of picking books months in advance... that might help people who have a harder time getting a hold of books.
coasterqueen replied: Mel,
I voted to keep it. Although I don't have the time right now I'm trying really hard to read. I'm way behind on the Secret Life of Bees, but I'm still reading it.
Although I bought another book to read after this one, but I'm game for anything. I just might be a bit slower than the rest of you .
kimberley replied: can we maybe pin a thread here or entertainment and games about the current book that we are reading? i think that would help so the threads are not lost in the shuffle. what do you think?
aspenblue1 replied: I would love to do it but can't right now. not for 3 more weeks until school is over.
PanthersGirl replied: I am new here but would participate in something like this!
3_call_me_mama replied: I like doing it but i just am finding it hard to actually have time to read since i can barely get on here some days. I amonly 1/2 way through secret life of bees and actually don;t even know where my book is
but i really liked 5 people you meet in heaven....
have we picked another book? as mentioned before i don't get on here everyday and often miss posts that get lost after a day or two...
coasterqueen replied: Mel,
What was the book chosen for April? I'm 1/2 wat thru the scret life of bees.....still a very good book btw. I just bought a new book too, but Kylie won't go get it for me and I'm nursing Megan (LOL) so I don't know the title at the moment. I'm so forgetful these days. 
TANNER'S MOM replied: We havent chosen one for April...I wasn't sure any one wanted to do it!
Let all try to think of something we would all like..
