Comments (22)Oh--my group also does the "must be available in paperback" rule although I think we've kind of relaxed that one as long as the library system carries the book. We also take turns in that the dozen or so of us hold a planning meeting at which we all bring several books, each member proposes their books, we vote on our favorite, assign the member a month in which they are responsible for preparing and leading the discussion for their book and end up having a schedule at least a year long. I think our "division of labor" as well as the variety of books chosen has served to keep our club together for five years--well, that and the fact that we meet in restaurants and really relax and enjoy ourselves, too. Who chooses the restaurant? The member whose turn it is to lead the discussion, of course....See MoreFood for book club meetings (Me Talk Pretty One Day)
Comments (9)I'm still mulling it over but I know for certain I'll serve some nice red French wine. Perhaps some French bread with brie or camembert cheese and fruit. I'm trying to find some brown cookies that look like ... well, if you read the book, you know. LOL Since we are not required to serve dinner at our meetings, I will pass on doing an Easter dinner, I can't even muster up the energy to do that on Easter let alone on a work day where the meeting starts an hour after I get home. :-) Jodi-...See MoreReal Life Book Club selections 2103-14
Comments (12)Our book club is a Mystery Book club. Last year we did something different, we picked a theme. We had to pick books that were either Hard-boiled detective or Medical mystery. We liked the theme idea, so this year we picked for our theme, International and Police Procedural mysteries. We don't usually pick a specific book, because there might not be enough books available at the public library for everyone. Instead we pick a series by a specific author. Last year our selections were: Linda Fairstein - Any Alex Cooper Any book by Elizabeth Becka/Lisa Black Walter Mosley - Any Easy Rawlins Michael Palmer - Any book Raymond Chandler Richard Stark - Any Parker novel Tess Gerritsen - Any Rizzoli & Isles Dashiell Hammett Ross Pennie - Dr. Zol Szabl Robert B. Parker - Any Spenser novel We haven't picked all the books for this year yet. So far we have: Michael Robotham - Say YouâÂÂre Sorry Jussi Adler-Olson - Any Alexander McCall Smith - No 1 Ladiesâ Detective Agency series - Any Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch series...See MoreKT Bookclub - June book
Comments (1)Oh, bummer! Sorry you didn't like it. You might have preferred "The Naturalist." On the bottom of this thread we had some posts last night that resolved a similar problem, so maybe it would help? [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kt-book-club-dsvw-vd~5324633?n=107[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kt-book-club-dsvw-vd~5324633?n=107) Can you see the discussions here? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/list_group/615019-kt-book-club If you can see them but can't post, that makes me think it's an email verification issue. Can you show me a screen shot of what happens when you try to post? Do you get the reply box at all, or does it say anything?...See Moremoonie_57 (8 NC)
