Dear avid readers and members who want to participate in the PF book club:
I am jburgh, the mod for BV, Choo, Tods and Ferragamo. I'll be working together with CobaltBlu and Tracy. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing our love for books.
If you've never been in my forums, I usually explain the purpose of a thread in post #1, as well as mentioning the guidelines.
This is going to be our first attempt to use a format for this, so please understand that is it a learning experience for everyone. I think it will be a lot of fun to have something we can think about deeply, in between our shallow purse obsessions.
For the first book we are going to limit it to something that is not too long, perhaps 250-300 pages or thereabout. With the holidays coming up, we want something that will not take up all your time. Also, this is a dry run, so a short book will work best.
This is how it will work...
This thread will be open to suggestions for a short book until October 22nd. At that time, this thread will be closed and unstickied.
A second sticky thread will be opened for a Poll, and the top five most popular choices will be offered for you to vote on as THE book for November.
The poll will close, and the winner will be announced on the 31st.
During November and December we will be reading and discussing the book. There will be one general thread, and 3 study question threads. Also, December will be another opportunity for us to choose the next book for Jan/Feb.
If you have any questions, please PM one of the mods here. Aren't you excited, I am!!!
Okay now.... suggest away!
