    How cool that so many of you are interested! Do y'all think we should start this month or November? I'm stoked!

    I'm game for this month as long as we could get a book title by say the 10 or 12th....still plenty of time to consume a good book!!

    And may I suggest Iris Johannsen ?!?!? Wonderful writer...thriller/mystery...and most of the books have a dog or 2 in them

    I'm game for this month also. The books you suggested sound really good Judy.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    I'd definitely be interested, especially since I'm not an avid reader. I love to get caught up in a good book, but I honestly don't find "Beowulf" that exciting! :P I read every book assigned to us in the time required, but I just don't have any fun.. and this sounds like fun. Especially since it's REAL people deciding what books to read... not some stupid school system.

    I'm game!

    Awesome. I think what we should do is go ahead and choose a title for October. And, just go for it, and, see how it goes and how many participate. I do think what we should do as far as choosing titles for the month is have a different person in the group choose the title for that month. I plan to read the book, no matter what. The whole point of a book club is to expand your reading, not just stick with one kind of book, or the types of books you would normally read. So, how about it Judy? Wanna suggest October's title?

    I'm thinking of this...people will have this whole month to decide if they wanna join or not...then, by November, we can start with a new book and our group of people. And, as new people join, we'll just put them at the bottom of the list for being the one to choose the title...does that make sense? I'm totally brainstorming here, I just like the idea of it being a different person choosing the book for each month...and, I'm thinking, with the exception of you, ms. shutterbug, we can just list the names alphabetically, and, go from there...for choosing who chooses the book for the month.

    Your idea is perfect Kari! Now, if everyone else agrees we need Judy to post a book for us to read.

    Yep, I'll send her a private message, just in case. But, I figure we can get all of the "members" by November, and, then put everyone's names in alphabetical order to see who gets to choose the books we read each month. I'm excited, I hope it goes well. If nothing else, though, I know I'll be reading a good book soon!

    Ooooh, count me in as well. I read a lot and it'd be nice to have someone to discuss books with.

    Sounds fun!!
