I'm Not Oprah
Hudson and I have had a brilliant idea, a stroke of genius, I tell you (that should also tell you it was mostly hers)! Well, actually you'll be the judge of that. Here's the pitch - a bunch of us all read a lot of books. I can tell that from all of your sidebars. I know I respond to a lot of email about books I've read or what I'm currently reading. I even post all my reviews at the end of each month. So...what could be more natural than a little book club action?
All you have to do now is let me know if you're interested. So comment already!
Posted by Chris at August 30, 2004 05:34 PMI'm in. :)
Posted by: Carla at August 30, 2004 05:40 PMI belong to a book review club (about 7 years) and love it. I read stuff I would never have picked up, so it has really broadened my reading!
Please let me know what you're planning.

Posted by: cassie-b at August 30, 2004 05:49 PMKeep me in the loop on this one as well. If nothing else it'll give me an excuse to finally pick up a new book and give up on what I'm working on now!
Posted by: Kerry at August 30, 2004 05:57 PMCount me in!
Posted by: feisty girl at August 30, 2004 06:01 PMYay! I'm in too!
Posted by: tulip at August 30, 2004 06:22 PMBooks! Bookie-bookie books! Yay for books and the clubs that read them!
(thats a yes)
Posted by: bmh at August 30, 2004 06:25 PMI'd like to join too, if that's ok?
Posted by: Kyren at August 30, 2004 06:27 PMYes yes yes!! I love to read, and with the kiddos at school, I might actually have time!
Posted by: Amy at August 30, 2004 06:57 PMSounds good to me!
Posted by: HG at August 30, 2004 07:18 PMWhat a fun idea! I have more books than square footage in my home, this either means I'm an obsessive compulsive or I really like books. I'm hoping for the later. Sign me up too, please!

Nothing like a little light reading for the fall!
Posted by: Kellie at August 30, 2004 10:05 PMoh i would love to do this! would you be able to keep my 2 year old for me for a little while so i could get some time to read? please, he's real cute and a lot of fun... just doesn't let me sit down for 5 minutes at a time. right now i'm reading The Big House by George Howe Colt... its very interesting, i just haven't had a chance to sit down and really get into it... of course, it doesn't help that all my free time is spent sitting in front of the computer doing nerd things. =)
Posted by: monique at August 30, 2004 10:21 PMwell, if my name isn't littlesambook!
this sounds GREAT. Any excuse to buy a book sounds perfect. Count me in, please.

Posted by: beck at August 31, 2004 01:22 AMI'm SO interested that I'm jumping up and down right now!
Posted by: DeAnn at August 31, 2004 02:23 AMJust so long as these books have pictures and a happy ending slash moral to them, and we get cookies when were done , I'm in.
Posted by: Shaners at August 31, 2004 07:18 AMI think you should read "Not Quite Married" by Betina Krahn. It's coming out today, and it would be something interesting, as it's a book from twenty years ago she's rewritten.
And I bet no one's ever really gotten into romance novels on your site. :) It'd be a leap of faith...
