February Voting is Up!

Hi ladies,

Suggestions for February are now closed and the voting can begin! You will find the voting tool at the top of the right sidebar. Please only vote ONCE. I can't figure out a way to restrict voting to once, so we're going on the honor system :-) Voting will close at 5:00PM next Friday, January 30.

I look forward to seeing what book we'll be reading!!

February Kickoff

Hi ladies! I'm so excited that you have decided to participate in this online book club. I wanted to lay out how I think this is going to work:

  • We will shoot to do one book per month. Depending on if we decide on a rather lengthy book, we may have to stretch it over two months, but we can play that by ear.
  • Everyone can suggest books for the upcoming month, then we will vote on which one we are going to read.
  • I will break the book up into segments so we will know what to focus on reading for the week.
  • I'll start a blog post for that week where we can all comment on the chapter(s) for that week.
  • I'm in the process of creating a blog frog community for this as well, where we can setup live chats to discuss the book.
  • Once a month (towards the end) I'd like to have a face to face meeting where we can all get together to discuss the book.
Of course, any suggestions are appreciated as we move through the first month of reading, I'd like this to be an interactive experience where are all participating and contributing.

So, without further ado - book suggestions for February? Please respond in the comments!
