Super Fantastic Reading Group

Other book discussions

To encourage more participation, I think people should also feel free to post about books that they have recently read and enjoyed (or didn't enjoy). 

People can also post about a theme they particularly like or something that bugs them they have discovered while reading several books.  For example, on my own blog I posted a rant about how fat chicks are portrayed in chick lit, including in their own sub-genre of chick lit. 

Please also feel free to post about favorite authors or your anticipation of a new book coming out by a favorite.  Basically everything you want to talk about about books. 

Next book choices etc.

It has been asked and I think we can extend the book reading/book finding time.  So Chatty please post your choice this week and everyone have it read and ready to discuss by Nov. 6th. 

Heather, post your title by October 30th and we'll discuss the week after Thanksgiving so the 27th. 

Blue Moon Girl, you can start discussing the current book anytime. 

Deadline Reprieve

Michelle has pointed out that a Friday deadline doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  Give the people the weekend to cram if they need to and they will come!  Since the Friday thing was random anyway, I'm all for moving to Mondays.  So the deadline for Book of Joe has been extended to Monday, September 25th and thus the deadline for the next book would be Monday October 9th.

Book Choice Order

Ok, Melissa's suggestion on how to pick future books is a good one.  I think it makes the most sense to take turns.  Here's the order in which we'll pick books:

Joanne
Michelle (since she's kind enough to let us use blogspace from the Peevery)
Blue Moon
Chatty
Heather
Kelli
KtP
Melissa
Middle Girl
Mishka
Rachel
(Any new peeps)

And then we start all over again. 

This is supposed to be fun, so if you don't have enough time to do a book, don't worry.  These things happen.  :)

Do any of y'all have an opinion on book selection guidelines?  On the one hand, I want this to be fun and interesting and sometimes reading something outside your comfort level can at least cause a reaction.  On the other I don't want anyone to feel like they HAVE to read something that may have a subject they are uncomfortable with.  In truth, I for one, absolutely refuse to read books that are solely about extra-marital affairs (ie The Horse Whisperer or that other one... Bridges of Madison County).
