Would anyone like to do a group read?? or should i say a book group??

wow well either this is a really bad idea, or no one gets on this site very much...

I think thats a great idea! Does anyone have suggestions for a book?

i don't but perhaps if each come up with few then we could decide together

I do: The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls is really great! FIVE starts!!

Sounds like a great idea! It sounds like a really good book!

oh that does sound good

and i nominate Shiver: its on my "to read" list

#6- It really is... it's similar to 'The Wizard of Oz' but, a great twist of heart pounding mystery!

#7- What's it about?

Maggie

here's the synopsis from barnes and noble:

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

I'd like to read Shiver. (I placed a hold on it at the library a while ago, but it never showed up.) Sounds more appealing than the Gumm Street Girls (to me).

i'm good w/ either...

so whatever everyone else is interested in. oh and if anyone has nominations please add them. these don't have to be our only considerations

-We could read Pride & Prejudice (sp) and Zombies. Then compare it to the original novel.
-Any of Laurie Halse Anderson's or Ellen Hopkins' books. They're really good.

oh i have wanted to read Pride & and Prejudice and Zombies, though has everyone read the original?

and which ones of those authors? just for reference..

#10-- Oh, no I wasn't suggesting it! Just was commenting to see whose audience appealed to it...

#12-- I vote Laurie Halse Anderson!!

Truthfully, I don't care about the choice-- I am just not a huge fan of science fiction. (Please don't take offence!)

well i'm gonna need some titles if we're going to decide! lol

-I think two good Laurie Halse Anderson books for the group read would be Speak and Wintergirls.

-I finally got my copy of Shiver. Huzzah!

-Anyone doing anything special for Halloween?

aw you did cool.

and nope its not really my holiday

OMG. I just finished a really, really good Laurie Halse Anderson Book!! (I am a total Historical Fiction Nut!!) Called Fever, 1793!

Any votes?

well if you already read it what's the point in doing it for the book group? i was thinking we'd all read a new book together cuz that's generally what book groups do...

Right...
Okay... maybe something else by Laurie Halse Anderson? idk!

lol i didn't realize it would be so difficult for us to pick a book

Sorry I forgot about this group (oops...I created it!) I will read whatever y'all come up w/!!!

LOL! Okay, I really want to read Chains by (guess) Laurie Halse Anderson. Here's the description:

In 1776, Isabel is a young slave (about 11?). She and her little sister, Ruth, live in Rhode Island and Isabel dreams of the day they will be free. Their master, Miss Finch, has promised them freedom upon her death, but when the time comes her lawyer has fled the sporadic battles between the Loyalists and Patriots. Miss Finch’s greedy young nephew quickly sells the girls off to a wealthy Loyalist and his cruel wife. Isabel and Ruth are sent to New York City, ophaned, alone, and at the mercy of the cruel Mrs. Lockton.

When they arrive in New York City, Isabel immediately meets a young slave named Curzon, who convinces her that the quickest way to freedom is to spy on her Loyalist master and report to the Patriots.

...There is a lot more to the description... but I thought that might ruin it. Read more at: http://thereadingzone.wordpress.com/2008...

Thanks!!

hey i have that book but haven't read it, lol i didn't even know that she was the author... i'm up for that

Cool! Phew, I'm glad you haven't read it yet... OMG, I just figured out it's a trilogy. Hmmm????

really? that would be cool to read together.

I vote Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

Cool! That makes 2. :)

I vote Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson too.

well that's 3...

Okay... Thinkingofaname hasn't voted.

Okay....guess I'll go with Chains.

so its just the four of us? when can everyone get the book by?

I'll place a hold on it tomorrow. Maybe it'll be here by Wednesday....

I went to the library yesturday, and here I am today only to find out I should go back X-D When my hold comes in, I'll pick it. :)

okiedokie

It may take a few days, though; I might check out my school library on Monday. :)

Just when down to library and got my copy :)

Cool!

Cool!

well when everyone is set to go..

I still need to find it at the library, but I'm going to get a copy as soon as possible.

Urg, I might be behind you guys, it's been raining non-stop and the wind's worse. I'll try and get out today, while the sky's clear. :)

Yessss! I don't remember putting a hold on it... but I got an email saying that I can come pick it up... Can we start reading once we get the book? Or should we wait until everyone has it? How does this work? I'm new to this..

well we can start as soon as you get it since i have it and so does thinkingofanime

I finally got a copy of the book so we can start once everyone has it. Should we set up a date to start the discussion?

Okay. I think it's a good idea to set a date- Phoenix.
I am really busy these few weeks- so many 2-3 weeks for me?
I have lots of classes in the afternoons, gallons of homework, etc.
Anyone else??

that goof for me, i'll be on winter break then...

I'm good with that too.

48-- Me too.
49-- Okay, I have to finish the end of my other book and then I'll start. :)

lol i have to finish the one i'm reading too

Ha. I'm getting kind of bored of my other book for some reason... even though the first one was really good. It's just a mystery-- The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney was the first one, and I'm reading the 2nd: What ever happened to Janie?

yeah i get like that sometimes, i'm reading Into the Path of the Gods its really good, i got it as the Member Giveaway on this site.

Cool! Maybe I'll check it out-- to tell you the truth, I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi or fantasy, I mainly stick to historical fiction (or if i'm bored- chick-flicks)

well this is historical fiction, it takes place around Arthurian times

Yes. Around the Revolutionary War I think it said. :)
