Some of us here have expressed an interest in a book club, myself, @mermadelove, @LCResz, @ZombieMetroAnt, @Mcakes. If you'd be interested in joining, reply below. My initial thought was to mail the books around but if it means that some people can't participate, then I'm all for dropping that requirement.

@KehDee several people on here have read the books and enjoyed them. I also like “To All the Boys I Loved Before” series books.
@KehDee hopefully you can finish all 5 books before he releases the newest one that was suppose to come out 2 years ago but keeps getting postpone.
Was wondering if anyone had any good books they'd recommend for summer reading. I just finished reading "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane" by Lisa See, "Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls and "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.
@GodivaMoon Those do sound interesting! The funny thing is, I don't like history but I really like historical fiction! Thanks!
Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed
The Telling by Ursula K. Le Guin
Rebel Seoul by Axie Oh
Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee
Scattered Among Strange Worlds by Aliette de Bodard
The Android’s Dream by John Scalzi
@janedoe13 Thanks for the recs! I am esp interested in the Old Hollywood vibes from "Seven Wives." 🙂
I read a book every week but I read mostly thriller/suspense. So it depends what sort of genre you’re looking for!
@GG84 I'm open to thrillers/suspense. The last ones I read were a while back (Tami Hoag and John Sandford) but I enjoyed them 🙂
@greeneyedgirl107 @GG84 - A work colleague turned me on to James Patterson's the women's murder club series. These read very fast.
@Titian06 Thanks for the rec. I think I read one of those years ago 🙂
One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of my two favorite books. I would love to re-read it and see all of your thoughts on the book. What do the numbers next to the book titles mean?
If I didn’t have four books on my nightstand right now, I’d jump in with you all! I bought my mom a year-long Book of the Month subscription for Christmas, and it came with one free month for me. I forgot to cancel it, and here we are four months later...I’ll check back in when I’m finished with what I have. The books in my queue, in case anyone is interested:
Here Comes the Sun, Nicole Dennis-Benn
Golden Child, Claire Adam
Early Riser, Jasper Fforde
Lot, Bryan Washington
Okay, so I was just intimidated by the number of pages in Fall of Giants plus someone said they had a hard time getting into it. So instead I read Little Fires Everywhere, The Fault in our Stars, and The Wedding Dress. Previously I've read Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and The Great Gatsby. I may have to check out some of the others on the list.
Back to the point, I've found the discussions for The Fault in our Stars and The Wedding Dress but those without "Discussion" next to them - do they have a post dedicated to the discussion that I'm missing? Can't wait to see what others thought of the books I've caught up on and share my feelings. Also I read Big Little Lies right before discovering the BIC book club and am excited for the group to get to that one!
Hi, @ShortErica! We started separate threads for discussing the books with the last few. Before that, the discussions were in this thread. We're currently on hiatus/reading Fall of Giants. If you read each "act" or "section" in one sitting (they're usually short) the book goes by pretty fast and it's easier to keep track of all the characters.
