Ok, I think there is enough interest to proceed with starting our own books club. Thus far the following have expressed an interest:

fansee
court1429
beesandbrews
bodleian
dean1955
lemon_lyman
highd
tonyans1975
kaysm95
joymaro
rebeccama

Obviously I'm in also and everyone else is welcome.


Here's what I get from the comments:

One book a month
Go with a theme each month to narrow down the choices but we should be flexible in case a new book comes out we all want to read.
Nothing that requires heavy mental slogging, we are not going for intellectual heavyweights here. That does not necessarily exclude the classics but think more Emma and less War and Peace. We here for the fun.

I'm willing to start a comm for it so it doesn't clog up the flists of those not interested. Any suggestions for a name for said comm?

I've come up with some possible choices for themes for each month but please please jump in and suggest others. I am sure I've left something out or chosen a poor order or didn't list your favourite or something. I'm new at this!



September – School related or Children's lit
October – Mystery
November – At The Movies (Books thathave been made into movies or movie/TV tie ins)
December – Holiday
January – Travel or Adventure
February – Romance
March – Irish (Takes place in Ireland, Irish author, etc.)
April – Sci-Fi Fantasy
May – Biography/Memoir (since we're going for light/fun maybe celebrity biography)
June – GLBT
July/August – Epic length Beach books

I haven't got a month that's just general fiction, maybe forget the epic month and have july and august open for anything or drop one of the other themes


So jump on in with ideas and shout out if you want to join. As soon as we have a name I'll start up a comm, we can pimp it out and start choosing the first couple of books.
