First Book of Book Club!

Hello everyone,

I hope that you all are getting excited to start reading, I at least hope so. I know that I have said that I meant change out first book because Invincible Summer just came out like 2 weeks ago and so I am doing just that. Instead of reading IS we are going to be reading Water For Elephants.

I just think that for now this will be easier for everyone to find considering you all seem to live in small cities.

We are going to be starting on Sunday the 15th and I will remind everyone again. And after WFE our next book will be Invincible Summer.

Also if you have finals coming up I want you to know that I think those are more important than reading a book with me so please put your studies before our book for the week(s) that you're testing and good luck!  Don't fail anything!

One more thing! Isabelle (You know @IsabelleRunes) She's letting me make a forum on http://theshadowhunters.spruz.com/ and we will probably be using the sites chat to chat about the book. If I can remember I will try and be in the chat on most weeknights after 10pm est. Please go sign up on our site if you aren't already and if you are able to.

Book Club

Are you reading this because you told me you want to be in my book club or are you looking at this post to find out what it's about? Either way I'm happy that you want to partake in this group and so everybody knows I wanted to make a few things clear.

1) Each book will get 2 weeks to read, I think this is enough time for everyone to get through a book but if life is just being hard on you at the time I don't want anyone to think that they have to get the book read. I also know that some of you will have the book finished by the end of week one or even the first day which is fine with me.

2) I will post a blog at the end of week one just to tell you where I'm at and to see where everyone else is at and then at the end of the second week we will have an open discussion.

3) You don't have to read every book that is picked, I know some people just can't read certian things because it isn't their style, I know I have a hard time with this but I've gotten better at it.

4) I'm doing this just for fun so please do not get mad at me, I don't know why you would but it could happen, I just like having people to talk with and I want everyone to have fun reading too.

Now that I've got that out of the way I want to ask you all a few things:

1) What time zone are you in? I know most of your time zones but I want to make sure so I can schedule our discussions at the best time for everyone.

2) I want suggestions from everyone on what books you'd like to read. I have a list of books that I want to read but I don't want you to have to read only the things I post so please give me suggestions on books to put on our to-read shelf!

If you could answer these questions in the comments or @ me by wednesday May 4th that would be awesome!

Our first book is going to be Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz!

Book Club/ Read Along Thing

As some people may know I've been wanting to start a little book club. Now I only want to do this if you really want to read and discuss books with me and a small group of friends. Please either comment telling me you want to do this or @ me on twitter and I will update with details on which books we'll read and when. I'm thinking we could do 2-3 weeks for each book to make it easier to join a discussion even though I know everyone can get them read within a weeks time.

Please get back to me soon and we will get this ball rolling. I'm sure we'll have fun!
