Thanks for joining us. Suz recently wrote a book meme in which she made a list of books that made her wish she belonged to a book club. That gave me the idea to host a blogging book club, and Suz graciously agreed to co-host.
Here’s how it works: One of us will select a book a month in advance. I’ll leave a little extra time for this first one to give us a chance to publicize the club. When the month is up, the host will post a few questions and the conversation will (hopefully) take place in the comments! Simple, right?
There’s no limit to who can participate, and if you’re interested in hosting, just let one of us know. We’ll start with no restrictions on types of books– fiction/non, contemporary/classic, etc., and see where it takes us. I, personally, am partial to contemporary fiction, but I’m certainly open to expanding my horizons! I will just request that if, as host, you choose a particularly disturbing book (We Need to Talk about Kevin comes to mind), you include a warning!
If you’d like to be included in a blogroll list of readers/participants, leave a comment.

Count me in! I’ve always wanted to do the bookclub thing too, but not so much that I can set aside a whole night and dress appropriately and show up somewhere…this is perfect!!

Do I have to have a blog? I’m interested!

Jenny, I was blocked from replying to your comment via email, but no blog is required to participate! A blog is only required to have a link on the side of the age.
