The idea of a book club is as old as the formation of society...well maybe not that old but definitely goes back to the days when people wanted to get together and talk through ideas, new ways of thinking, fresh perspectives and all the goodies associated with Renaissance living. Even if not super old, it definitely pre-dates Oprah's Reading Club which we will be sure to discuss in future posts.
Against overwhelming criticism of this book club being more of a "kitty party"?!!! (shudder! reminds me of yummy food and heavy set women who'd stare down their noses, pinch my cheeks and scare the living bezeejus out of me) the Book Clubbers book club has been launched.
You really have to say "Book Clubbers" in fast repetition multiple times to get what it means. And sadly no it doesn't really sound like Baklava like one very hungry member of this group imagined. The comments section is available for you to leave your take on what it stands for/means.
Well, this is just the start. We expect to have a lot of fun, animated discussions, passionate views and a lot of silliness mixed in.
While you may not get to actually be there in person to witness, we're hoping you can participate through this blog...share your views, give us suggestions and generally appreciate us for being as awesome as we are (Barney Stinson reference get it?)! :)
Talk soon lovely readers!
Great intro, OMG. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to sink my teeth (or eyes, in this case) in to the first book - but it looks I'll have to wait awhile until it's my turn to borrow it from the library. So meanwhile, I got a sample copy of the book through the iBooks app on the iPhone. Fellow iPhoners, that's your cue! No iPhone, dont worry, we always have amazon.com to read the first few pages :)
Have fun bookclubbers!
See y'all soon!
Greatings Book Lovbers...Oh i meant BookClubbers..

Can't wait to get back and blabbler bout it!!

ReplyDeleteIts so great to see the enthusiasm that we are showing in the first stages of this endeavor. Lets keep this enthusiasm going... and scale the distances of ignorance to reach the pinnacle of wisdom.
Nice work, OMG! :)
ReplyDeleteLovin the enthusiasm people! I found the Amazon sample chapters and the book seems promising. Cant find an ebook for free though :(
