Kim’s comments from the Best Books group.

Ok!! We are nearing the end of the year. And close to my fave time of year..Autumn! What is everyone reading or planning to read?

Hi! Its been awhile. I have been between computers and moved a couple of times. But I would like to see who is still interested in the Group. So I am open to any new ideas for us. New formats, no polls/more polls, etc. Just leave any and all ideas. I will keep checking to see what anyone comes up with. Hope to hear from you soon!!

This section is where members can share their ideas about books. It is also where you can find similar authors to write to and/or work together.

Good afternoon, Best Books members!! I am happy to announce that I have added a new Co-Moderator to our club! Her name is Jenna. She has been a member of the club for awhile. She is an avid reader and has some new ideas. I am sorry to see that we have lost some members, but I hope to grab the attention of current and new readers. We are planning some new ideas for the club, but we are always open to suggestions!! Keep an eye on the club for new updates, and we are always looking for suggestions for Book of the Month books. We will have a poll up and running asap for October! Happy Reading!! :)

Hi!! I deeply apologize for my long absence. I don't want to bother with all of my family drama, but I am back on board and hoping to make us more successful. I will be adding a Co-Moderator to help me and the group. She is an avid reader and has some new ideas. Please hang in there for some new postings!!

Hi to all remaining members! It seems as though we have lost a few, and I am so sorry to see that happen! I don't know where April and May went, but I have been a little AWOL online, not intentionally. I apologize for this. I would love to re-do the group to make it more appealing for members and possible new members. Please do me a favor and send me your thoughts. You can post them here in the Moderator's Corner, or I will make a new topic section to put your responses. I will have a title and picture up for the June 2013 Book of the Month as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience. I hope to hear from as many of you as possible!!

Please use this topic area to post the books you are reading for March. If you would like to, please post the Book Name, Author, and your reviews on the book!! Thanks!! :)

Hi, Member! I have decided to do something different for our March Book of the Month. For this month, I would like each Member to choose a book that they would like to read. Anything! Then, I will post a topic are for you to come and tell us what you read and your thoughts about the book! This can help each Member possibly find a book to read that they hadn't thought about before!! I will also have a new Discussion Topic coming up this month, so please stop by to visit us and see what's going on! As always, I am open to any suggestions for the book club that you might have!! I look forward to see what all of you post about the books you are reading this month!! :)

Hi to all members!! I have noticed that we have lost a few members in the past few months. I really hate to see that happen! I would love for any of you to come up with some suggestions or ideas to make our group even better, more exciting, more inviting! I am open to any and all ideas!! Please stop by and let me know what you would like to see new to the group!! I look forward to reading your posts!! :)

Please stop by and give me some ideas for our poll for the March Book of the Month!! Look forward to seeing all of your ideas!! :)

The February Book of the Month is The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I chose this book for a couple of reasons. I know this is a well-liked author, and it is a book that many are wanting to read. So, I thought our group could give it a try. Please stop by and post any feedback, positive or negative, that you have about the book, author, or anything else you would like to share!! Happy Reading to all!! :)

Hi, Members!! Since I haven't heard from anyone suggestions for February's Book of the Month, I guess I will try to choose a book from past polls that received a high number of votes. I hope a choose something you all will like. Please stop by and give me your feedback. Also, please give me any suggestions for March BOTM. I will have the February book up today or tomorrow. Happy Reading!! :)

I am a fan of Alice Hoffman, and I have wanted to read that book. I just haven't had the time to do so. I will have to try it to see what I get out of it. Thanks for the input!! :)
