F/U Book Club

[vtdiamond]

It looks like there are about 6 of us interested in doing a book club, do we think that is enough?

If so, I was thinking we could select our first book in the next week or so and then plan on meeting sometime in mid to late January to discuss.

I just finished Discover of Witches and the sequal Shadow of Night, and will be traveling next week so am eager to find something new!

What do you all think?

Of course Rock!! Yeah, all my reading is done during my commute!

I was going to start reading the Night Circus by Erin Morganstern, but I'll be able to read another book between now and then as well, so, I'm open to ideas.

Mid-to-late January works well for me. Now we have to decide on a book and meeting place.

I'm in and Jan sounds great.

Ok here are some book suggestions for our first read! These are just some that I've heard of and had on my list to read. Feel free to add your own suggestions, I was thinking we could try to get it down to like 3-5 choices and then we can all vote on our top pick.

- The Night Circus, by Erin Morganstern
- The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak
- The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini
- The Casual Vacancy, by JK Rowling
- Wild, by Cheryl Strayed
- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith
- Life of Pi, by Yann Martel
- The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffeneger
- The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold

Hey Guys! I definitely want to come hang out, but probably won't have time to read the book. I might try if it isn't 850 pages... My H is traveling for the beginning of Jan so maybe I can get some reading in.
