I like it. Ideal solution!
I use Goodreads but would prefer to keep my participation off Goodreads, it’s linked to my Facebook account and I’m not super comfortable with using it for a BIC thing. Sorry everyone!
@prettyinpa I agree with you. If it's ok, I'll just stick with sharing my thoughts on BIC while still maintaining some privacy. Thanks for doing this. looking forward to it since all I'm reading now is this (the lil' ones are on winter break )
@fieldsofclover- Maybe we should slow down on setting up the Goodreads until more than a couple of people has given the go ahead. I'm concerned with what personal info we have to share with Goodreads in order to use it, as I'm sure other people are too. I have no problem with people PM'ing me their lists and I can then see where the overlaps are (interest by more than one person) and putting together a big list and people can vote on that or using a random selection to choose, but I think more than one person has to agree to Goodreads before we use it. Thanks for your patience.
@prettyinpa @fieldsofclover I'm totally fine with either goodreads ( as I already have an account) or whatever the consensus is. I don't have a preference.
I'd love to join! thanks for setting this up. Such a great idea 🙂
I'm setting up a Goodreads group... after I add a few things and make it searchable, I'll post the details here and anyone who already has an account or wants to make one can take a look and make suggestions.
I'm happy to see a book club being started - yay for reading!! I wish you all well with your club. I'm a semi back burner reader due to work, unless I get my hooks into a really good book, then nothing else matters :D. I spend a lot of nights trying to read a book, and get maybe 4-5 pages in (not including the super awesome page turners), only find myself falling asleep holding my Kindle whoops! I didn't see it mentioned, but if you are into fictional crime The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson is a really good book. (it's a trilogy - book #2 is out and book #3 is coming this spring). It's kinda graphic with swear words and some scenes just FYI. Happy reading, and just to put in my 2 cents my favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird. You really can't beat a classic (and I hated Go Tell a Watchman boo) as I have seen several listed below ❤️
I totally agree with you about "Go Kill A Mockingbird," and "Go Tell A Watchman."
@fieldsofclover's suggestion sounds good, is this ok by you all? If so, I'll try to set something up and get back to you. However, if this is going to fill everyone's mailbox with spam, then we shouldn't do it. I have enough trouble wading thru mine with all the sale temptations in there.
Whatever is fine by me! As long as I’m tagged with the details when they are hammered out! It’s hard to track threads down sometimes...
@prettyinpa - I'm fine with @fieldsofclover's suggestion--go for it!
What a great idea, love this thread! I love to read and been reading a lot more now that I'm on break. But some of my favorites to reread are...The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey, Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass, Black Jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop, Naked in Death by JD Robb, Shantaram by David Gregory Roberts, Blood and Gold by Anne Rice, The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly, Ghosts in the Snow by Tamara Siler Jones, The Ring by Deborah Chester, Myrren's Gift by Fiona Mcintosh, and tons others. Love reading poetry too like Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, Yeats, Basho, and Shakespeare...
@GodivaMoon I love Ray Bradbury! One of my favourite books of all time is The Illustrated Man. I would be down to read anything of his. 😄
For those people in to darker reads, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov is a classic and is definitely my favorite book of all time (so insanely unsettling)!
Win
@SchylarR Oh yes that was a great read! Read that in high school!
