The Ownbey Sibling Book Group for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too discussion

Is there anything in particular y'all want to read next, or do you want to do something like use a random number generator and let it pick?

I thought we were going to do American Gods next?

I wasn't sure if you wanted to stick with that one or if one of the new ones we thought of had anyone itching to read it instead. That's fine!

We can read that. But I have to finish hobbit again. No half reading things.

Let me look through my kindle so I can suggest things I have

We can also read each others favorite books...

OK, I will pause American Gods and read Silence of the Lambs for now. I'll also remove Hitchhiker's Guide and In Cold Blood since you've already read them and read them on my own some time. I like the each other's favorite books idea.

I'll be done with hobbit tomorrowish

This super geeky guy Mal works with sometimes gave me a sci-FI book called storm front...look into it maybe.

By Jim someone. About a wizard p.i....

Reviews on that look super mixed. I'm going to download the sample and read it tomorrow at work. I like Urban Fantasy generally, but I've also only read chick UF.

Have y'all read The Hangman's Daughter?

No. I like the idea or reading ppls favorites...I'm pretty sure you've both read mine. BUT KATE NEEDS TO READ ATLAS!

I will get to Atlas, y'all have both read it, let's read other things first or each others favorites if only the one of us has read it. Also, to keep from getting bogged down in the democratic process where we spend more time choosing which books to read than actually reading them, why don't we go in order of age and each of us pick the next book from what we added to the group "To-Read" shelf. American Gods was one of my picks, so we can count that for me, so Adam would pick the next one. When you know which one you want to do (and then Sarah) we can add them in order to the "Upcoming books" section of the main page.

I agree. AG next then.

And then...

Good news. I can access this website from the boat, as I am doing right now.

And for our next book...I think we will read Torg's novel...yall can pick which. Read the synopsis of both and let me know.

Torg's?

Oh, your teacher. Let's read Horseshoe.

k. email it to me

I'll loan it to you after we read American Gods. I think I can only loan it once though.

What is Adam's next pick?

IDK. Adam, did you get the file Sarah emailed?

i havent been able to check. soon though...

Did we ever decide on the next book? Did Adam get Gone Girl? Are we doing Midnight in the Garden?

Sure

Adam, do you already have Midnight? If not can we send it to you or should you just tell us what you have already??

more reading?

yes! more!

Hey, I checked my Yahoo mail and just saw this. Reading! What do we want to read now?

How about This Is Where I Leave You, by Jonathan Tooper?

the book thief? it's something I has...?

Book Thief has been on my list too.

Adam do you have the book thief?

Come the end of November I will be dont with the end of the semester and have a month off... what shall we read? I DID finish ATLWCS. I vote for Infinite Jest, House of Leaves, orrrr Room!

I saw you finally finished ATLWCS. I think Goldfinch is the current one. I have started it. I haven't gotten far.

...I think it book club died.

and I read goldfinch, but I don't think it was because you guys told me to. I think I just liked the way the cover looked

and for another thing. do one of you have my copy of atlwcs?

I have not read the Goldfinch.

You bought me ATLWCS so that's the one I have

NEW BOOK

Omg book cluuuub!

They're making a Goldfinch movie out this year. How did you like the book? I couldn't get into it the last time I tried. I think The Secret History by the same author sounds good.

If we are going to revive book club yall should read Good Omens with me, I'm not super far in it yet.

And I had ATLWCS in ebook and audio, not a physical copy. I think.

I see there are still no new replies...

🤔🤔🤔

Y'all look up The Huntress by Kate Quinn.

Also, nobody has added Anna to this yet.

Finch was kind of meh.
