Hi Everyone,

Looks like we’ll be able to get some momentum on our long lost book club.
I recommend we start in the last week of Aug or early Sept. Previously, we read one book a month at the end of the 4 week period there was a lively discussion.

All are welcome to join, so far I know the following are in
@queserasera
@Muzna @WendyDarling

And I’m nominated @khattichic because I can :snooty:
And paging Hina!

So folks, lets suggest books and we’ll take a vote.
Hopefully we can start in reading a week or so.

My Pick will be To Kill a Mockingbird – I can’t remember what I read in school and would love to revisit it.

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

Sorry I don't know the rules. Wasn't trying to overturn Muniya reccomendation. Saw mocking bird reference and just shared the trivia.

I SECOND your nomination for this book!!

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

YES!!! To Kill A Mockingbird!!! :sadiyah:

Although I will say that “Go Set A Watchman” was a gross disappointment…that manuscript should have stayed lost forever and never been allowed to see the light of day.

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

Thanks for the review…saves me from reading it.
I’m okay with To Kill A Mockingbird. Will be a blast from past school days.

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

I was gonna suggest The Goldfinch. I am reading it right now its SO good. Maybe too long for a book club.

15

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

Yes, it's a democracy, mate.

16

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

Shall we put that on the next to read list?
How long is it?

17

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

^ it's 700+ pages long.

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club

OMG I just read the summary for Goldfinch - looks amazing.
Here's my problem tho - its on lists that include books like the signature of all things - and I hated that book. It was literally painful for me to read.

And 700 pages --- pshhh @Muzna will kill that in one night. hheheh

Re: Rebirth of the GS book Club
