I have felt for some time now that we should have a book club. I know, one more thing to add to our crazy life's, but... I think it could be really fun. Let me know what you think. We could start in January!!!.... :)
Since only Me, G, and Jenn have responded, maybe if we each pick 3-5 books then we can get a list together for the year. Then it's not a mad rush to go find the book to read each month. :) Should we start off the new year with North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell? And then maybe something romantic for February? Thoughts? Suggestions?
OK awesome! I think North and South will be a great read. It seems pretty cheap on Amazon too. :)
I know, my lists are kinda long... but some of the books I just love and then others I've wanted to read for so long, and then the rest look sooo good.... :)
I think the best romantic book ever is Pride and Predjudice of course by Jane Austin, but I already picked North and South for January, so I feel bad saying we should read my pick for Feb too. :)
Count me in :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to.
ReplyDeleteThe Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is really good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! OK who wants to pick the book for January? Should we do The Alchemist? Or Jenn, do you want something else? Who wants Feb? :)
ReplyDeleteAre they books we have already read or books we want to read?
