Yes I am with you with the not reading the books (well what are we going to discuss then?), someone who HASN&#39;T read the book and gets all narky when there are &#39;spoilers&#39; in discussing the book. I know life takes over sometimes and the book cant always be finished no matter how hard you try but put your big girls pants on and deal with the fact that if we are going to discuss the book in any fashion then YES you are going to hear spoilers potentially along the way. Feel free to vacate the lounge and refill your wine glass/visit the loo/stick your fingers in your ears and say &#39;nah nah nah Im not listening&#39; or whatever takes your fancy but pleeaaase dont whinge when we do discuss the bloody book this IS a bookclub after all, and yes I am so with you with the &quot;Um I liked it&quot; or &quot;Um I kinda didnt really like it&quot; version of discussion at bookclub. A little bit more detail would be nice thanks. And um my last one the biggest b*tch I have about old bookclubs is non-readers coming along and when its their turn to choose a book they dont come along with some lovely meaty novel but a reference book...on CLEANING! Ah yes true story. I read to avoid housework really I dont need to READ about it and DISCUSS at bookclub. Please leave! <br /><br />Well got that off my chest thanks. I LOVE LOVE LOVE bookclub and look fwd to taking part in this one if I can keep it up with the other new one just kicking off this week in my new home town yay!Michele @ The Hills are Alivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069990328770303361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-27451830479773923392013-05-29T22:41:28.863+10:002013-05-29T22:41:28.863+10:00Hi!

Thanks.<br /><br />I have never been in a book club - the pressure to read a book that I may not necessarily have chosen, seems like a bit of hard work! I have a huge amount of books that I want to read, but just not getting through them fast enough! <br /><br />But if you happen to choose a book, that I want to read, I would be happy to be part of it. <br /><br />AnnieGo Camping Australia Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724897394487248038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-48768812484709576722013-05-10T11:39:40.885+10:002013-05-10T11:39:40.885+10:00I&#39;m keen.I&#39;m keen.Janinehttp://shambolicliving.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-14346782277059108262013-05-09T21:36:51.765+10:002013-05-09T21:36:51.765+10:00I&#39;m in.

One was very social, involving wine and nibbles then coffee and cake and we chatted, with only a cursory mention of the book and while it was fun, it was really just friends gossiping. The other one was quite formal, with lots of academic questions and sheets of paper...I felt as though I was back in a uni tutorial with pressure to say something terribly clever! I find the idea of an on-line book club intriguing but am wondering how it would work (don&#39;t have Facebook - I know, techno-dinosaur) Would there be a general structure - a few questions on whether you liked it, maybe a brief discussion of the plot, themes, characters and style? (sorry English teacher talking) The great thing about book clubs is the variety of opinion, some people love a book while others hate the same book - fascinating!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127185404940402644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-66541922933225710312013-05-07T04:10:30.230+10:002013-05-07T04:10:30.230+10:00I signed up for the newsletter!

It&#39;s been such a great way to stay in contact with people who are now very dear friends. <br /><br />We read everything, except Dan Brown type best-sellers. We&#39;ve read classics, graphic novels, erotica, Australiana, good crime, chick lit, science fiction and a lot of excellent foreign authors. <br /><br />We even had a bloke as a member until he hooked up with one of the girls and they ran away together. <br /><br />An open-mind is the key for a great bookclub. xx brismodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169335258762403261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-6237344949051971932013-05-06T16:44:04.263+10:002013-05-06T16:44:04.263+10:00I am in.
