Because December was so full of holidays and it was probably crazy for everyone I've moved the months forward one. So December's will now be January's and January's will be February's and Etc. I hope that is okay with everyone. I just don't think many people were able to read the books they wanted in December, I know I didn't. :)
Well I hope you all had a great Holiday and hopefully we can get this club back on the road again. :)
Guess I need to put this at the top!
Because some of us are listing books that we've never read before and don't really know what they are about but heard it through a grape vine that they were good, and someone on this club may have already read the book and found it very inappropriate, or have other opinions about it; this is going to be the new set RULE!
I'm going to do a rating system and I hope it works. If you have already read one of the books listed then you are welcome to make a COMMENT (not a post) about the book.
This is how I would like the comments to look....
"I have read (book name) and this is my rating for it...(ratng)"
That's ALL!!!
Rating system:
EP: Extremely Poor
P: Poor
O: Okay
G: Good
EG: Extremely Good
E: Excellent
Now if the rating is above okay, then at the end of the month that the book is in you may write a post or comment about the book and what you thought of it. Please keep thoughts of the book for the months that they have been chosen for!!! If there is something seriously wrong with a book that someone has suggested then PLEASE EMAIL me with that problem and I will contact that person and let them know.
I really hope this works out and that you guys can agree with what I'm doing.
Thank you!

I hope everyone is okay with this change! Let me know if you have any other suggestions as well.
PS and I hope you are all still enjoying this like I am. :)
Great Idea...I'm up for it!
Yay! Thanks! I hated being behind but now I'm ahead because I wanted to be... just started "The Help" and now I'm two months early! Oh well! Thanks, Mele!
I'm excited to read the Secret Journal.... Our library actually has this book! They'll get it to me tomorrow or next week and then I can quickly read it before February??? How are we supposed to comment on these books? mm
