I love to read and don't know many book people in the real world. Historical fiction happens to be a favorite genre too! Also I'm a new moderator for a goodreads book club and I know I've so much to learn about on-line groups--hopefully this will be a positive learning experience as well as a lot of fun! As for my suggestion, I don't know how this would work excatly, but I thought I'd try to describe it and maybe someone more tech-y or blog savvy than me might have seen something like this done and be able to: a.) describe it, or, b.) work out how it could work. Anyway, here goes nothing! You know how they used to do those progressive dinners where everyone went from one person's house to the next and the next and so on? I was just wondering if in the club we couldn't somehow take the 'party' (so to speak) 'on the road'? If we couldn't somehow go from blog to blog sometimes--not always of course, that would get crazy. But we could have a designated time/night when the discussion transfers to the blog of the person who last posted or something like that. I don't know enough how these things work but I suggest it because I'd like to meet more book bloggers. I'm on goodreads and I know lots of readers there but not many folks out here in the blogging world. Anyway, that's my 2¢! Whatever you do, I'm up for some reading! booklady Jennifer,

I'm really hoping to make this a great resource without any times you "have" to partipate. Irene, I hope everything eases up for you over time. That sounds incredibly stressful to me.

Sometimes I don't attend my church book club because I haven't read the book or am not quite up to it. After the fact, I usually regret not having gone anyway. I always read the book if I attend my other book club, but we are pretty flexible with just about everything. What helps me participate in a book club is a little flexibility.

Family commitments often prevent me from attending. I have been looking into an online book group commensurate with the very literate group I miss. All of the suggestions offered are worthy ones. Caregiving for two Alzheimer's family members (my husband and my mother), really stresses me out; especially when they are together. I should tape their conversations(?). Reading is one of the best stress busters for me. Irene I belong to a book group that meets once monthly. Family commitments often prevent me from attending.

I love historical fiction and don't seem to get to read enough of it. This novel sounds so good. I belong to an online reading group already-we've all been together for 5 yrs now and the suggestions I have are already listed for the most part-the threaded discussions is a great idea-that way everyone can voice an opinion on the topic at hand; it's nice too to come up with a short list of books for the next selection and have a vote on which to read; last maybe a montly online chat via yahoo to discuss the book for those that would be willing to participate or could for that matter with time constraints, etc. I really look forward to joining in the fun if you'll have me. I've already got a copy of this novel on order so you don't have to enter me into the draw. I’d love to join in on your online reading group.
