I know a few bees didn't want romantic books but I thought you would still make it an option. :(
And what about Wicked. I was interested in that one, too.
Oh, I would prefer to 2 check ins.
I foound "Three Cups of Tea" really hard to read. It's a good story, but there are too many paragraphs that ramble on about things...
Water for Elephants" was really good. and so was "The Secret Life of Bees"
@yrret107 - i tried to include books that were suggested at least twice. & the previous two books were romantic and i think everyone wanted a change. Sorry!!
@bridegrl - ive heard the same thing about three cups of tea & i dont know how excited i would be to read that one. i dont really want a heavy read..but its all up to the votes!
OH, & i also think 2 check ins would be better. That gives everyone time to purchase the book, read half, & hopefully get into it enough to discuss it.
Anyone else? agree? disagree?
Oh, I thought a few people suggested Wicked. Oh well.
I think 2 check-ins would be good. I can't wait no matter which one we pick haha!
My job is misserable (terrible day) and I need a distraction, so I'm joining up. Glad we have this!
I haven't read any of this so I'm excited to join. I'm not voting (sorry! I can't choose) so I'll check in tomorrow! So excited
@msgthoney - welcome to you too! & please vote!! you never know what could happen overnight =] & ive included the summaries! glad you could join us!
Oh and ps, I haven't participated in this before, but I'd like to this month.
I'd love to join in! I've been told how great 3 cups of tea is and it's on my list to read, but I'm good with anything. A good reason for me to get back to my reading habit!
I never realized there was a Wedding Bee Book Club! I would really like to join in too! Is there somewhere where general info is posted about the general rules, etc?
Welcome to the book club ladies!! :)
I dont think there were ever any rules. We just have a new book every month & a new moderater for each book. At the end of the month, the new moderator will open a post for suggestions, then a post for a voting poll, & then a post to establish our reading pattern and discussion date. After that, we'll check in and discuss the book :)
Glad youre all joining!!
Glad to see Water for Elephants is in the lead...I have it, but haven't read it yet. I would prefer to have a check in once a week.
Is it bad to say that I will be in based on the book? I already read some of them. But I would love to participate if it's a book I haven't read.
@Charm bracelet - haha i totally did that with dear john b/c i had already read it. & if i wasnt the moderator this month, id probably do it again! :)
So surprised to hear mixed reviews of "Three Cups of Tea"! I've read it a few times and loved it each time - and it was on the NYT bestseller list for 3 years...
+1 for including an option with the word "bees" in the title! :-)
I think I may have to sit this one out...I just got the details on what my final exam paper/presentation for school entails. No fun reading this month!
I have never ventured into the weddingbee book club but I think I might join up this month! I really miss reading for fun! Random question... do you guys usually buy the book every month or rent it from the library? I haven't gotten something from the library in forever but I'm not sure a book/month is in the wedding-tight budget! heh.
edit: I'm an idiot. I just clicked the link and saw the book was like $7. lol. I assumed the books would be 20-30 each. :)
@corgitales - i think it just depends. i would definitely check your local library. & if you want your own, barnes and noble sells used books online. ive bought several and theyve always been in great condition. & if you buy online right now, everyone gets member prices on new books.
okay ladies, voting is closed.
this months book is "Water for Elephants"
:)
ps. check the new post!
I try to borrow from the library but sometimes there are so many people requesting it that it could take a few weeks.
My backup would be to buy from amazon.com. They have a marketplace to sell new and used books. I just looked and you could buy this book used for $0.49 and plus shipping which is $3.99 and now you just bought this book for 4.50 ish.
I love amazon!
