Is there a mumsnet bookclub?

[McDreamy]

I can't find one! If not would anyone like to do one?

I'll join you. What do you have in mind to read? I'm reading 'The Waterhorse' at the moment. I've never done a bookclub before, so I don't know the format.

I'd like to join

Me too.

Ok well I guess we need to nominate a book and then agree a time to come back and review. I am in an internet book club and we nominate each other to do the next book. Does that sound reasonable? Anyone any other ideas? Anyone want to start with a book nomination - happy to go with Roskva's "The Waterhorse" as she's already reading it? What do you think?

That sounds good, i have to go to work now so will check in tomorrow to see what else was decided.
I'm excited now, I used to belong to a book club in RL but since the move to the provinces haven't been part of one for ages.
speak tomorrow

can I join I love reading and it would be good to have someonelses opinions

I've just been on amazon to find the waterhorse but I can't find it - who's it by Roskva?

Just found it - there are a few second hand ones available too here

can i join.

The more the merrier octobermum - I hope I'm not treading on anyones toes doing this!!

So lets go for the Water Horse - how long shall we leave it before we review it bearing in mind xmas is coming up so we might be busier than normal?

I'd like to join in too. Though have never been in a bookclub the only time I joined one, my company sent me off the next day to work in Amsterdam for the next 4 mths! No danger of that now am SAHM

It's by Julia Gregson

Would like to join to if that's OK

Good point McDreamy i think we should leave the waterhouse until after xmas to review as like you said we may not have as much reading time as usual and need to finish what we are reading at the moment!
What do we all think of 16th Jan to review?

Everyone who has joined so far what are your current tastes in books or are you a read anything type of person?

Fantastic chocolaterobin the 16th Jan it is for our first book review - The Water Horse by Julia Gregson.

Not sure how we are going to choose our next book to read after that - if anyone has any ideas.....? Those of us that have joined now could all pick a book and we could just work through them or we could nominate someone else as our book is reviewed (which might be a little difficult as we don't know each other -yet!!......?)

I am happy to do any admin that is involved like making lists and working out who's chosen and book etc but any other ideas very welcomed

I'm a read anything type of person.

I'd like to join too please. Great idea. Will read literally anything including the cornflakes packet.

I'd love to join too and will look out for The Water Horse.

Juat odered my copy. Looks more interesting then RL book club book.

Can I join too (if that's ok?) I've just set up a reading group in RL our first meeting is late jan, so this will be a good practice. Will get book from library tomorrow. I'll read most things but will give up if I don't like it (I never used to, I'd finsh a book even if I hated it)

I've ordered my copy and eargerly waiting it's arrival. We have quite a few members now - 10 in all I think - that's better than my RL one!!!

Shall we give ourselves a name?

Quick plus in case any of you want to join an embrionic real life MN book group starting soon in Herts (Stevenage/Knebworth-ish).

OOOh good idea Roskva - any ideas? Would love to join Lio but I'm a bit too far away (Cyprus)maybe you could join us too!

Ah thank you, I'll see how it goes though - am only managing to read one book a month at the mo
