Bimbo Bookworm Club!

Current Selection:
Echo by Francesca Lia Block

*********************************

Hey there!  For those of you who don't know me (I spend a lot of time in the Games and Humor Section), I'm Michelle!  A few of us on the "Making Friends" thread have been talking about getting a Book Club started for the bimbos on here who appreciate a good book and some good friends, so I figured I'd post a thread here about it!

ANYONE AND EVERYONE is welcome to join - this isn't some sort of exclusive thing!  And discussing one book doesn't put you under obligation to discuss any more - you can participate at your leisure...

This is what we were thinking:
-A book would be selected - once it's selected, you'll have a week to read it.
-There will then be a week of "open discussion" about the book the has been selected via forums (like an online book club meeting)
-At the end of the week, everyone who has participated in the discussion about that week's book will have their username put into a hat and whoever selected the previous book will pick out a name at random - that's the person who gets to pick the next book!  They can pick whatever they want!

That way, we'll have a variety of different books and it won't just be one person's taste in reading materials content4

Please leave a post letting me know if this is something that you would like to participate in!  I think that this could be really great content4


Happy reading!

*********************************

(Edited so I can include our book club's current selection on the very first post, in case anyone wants to join in)

Re: Bimbo Bookworm Club!

What type of books would you be reading... ... ... Like what age range?

This is a great idea, and Has been around the threads a few times... I don't know if you have searched it yet, but I do know a few months ago they did this... not sure how it turned up...

There is a group that has been started that talk about books... and other things... Found here http://www2.missbimbo.com/forum/t82033, … k-side.htm
But we don't do the book club thing... we just all tend to read the same books and then talk about them.

Re: Bimbo Bookworm Club!

We would be reading whatever the "members" picked...So I'm assuming it would be adult books, maybe with a few that may be classified as YA thrown in (I know "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is technically YA)...Ooh I'm sorry, I didn't know that it was already done haha - ten loser points to me for thinking that I helped come up with a cool new idea for the bookish bimbos on here to get together sad ...I'll check out the thread that you gave!  Thanks!  content4

Re: Bimbo Bookworm Club!

It is cool WhatGoesOn big_smile It happens all the time. big_smile
If they were more adult books I would say count me in... but I have never been in to reading The Sisterhood books...
Let me know how it goes, and if this stays up then Maybe I will join on a different book big_smile

But that thread is great big_smile we are fun and it is entertaining and there is always a new book someone is reading... which usually gets the others to read big_smile he he.

I'll join in depending on the books.  smile

It also helps if I had time to read them.

The next book I want to read is The Fountainhead.  Who thinks they could cruise through that in a week? smile

Potentially in, if I can skip the first week's choice. I'd be happy to discuss The Fountainhead.

Re: Bimbo Bookworm Club!

I will see about joining the second book.  I don't have any desire to read the Sisterhood books.  I don't think I could read the Fountainhead in a week either blebl

Re: Bimbo Bookworm Club!

I'd join but I probably won't be able to give much input for at least the next three months. I'm in the process of closing a restuarant and packing for when I finally am forced to move (my family has to build and move into a house that is wheelchair accessible, has at least 4 bedrooms and a room off to the side to teach piano in while not being overly noisy in the house).

I agree with Lida_Mina though, I don't think I could read the Fountainhead in only one week, maybe one and a half to two (it's a very intense book and if you can't really get into it due to clashing views, it may take even longer). Personally, I wasn't very moved by the Fountainhead but it was still a decent book.

Re: Bimbo Bookworm Club!

So, during my off-time from Miss bimbo I found a site called bookswap.com.  If you have books you want to get rid of, you can swap them with other members and get book credits to get other books.
