Jess (jesmy777) I'm in the midst of packing and moving this week... Can one other mods post polls this weekend?

I don't remember what we had decided re: genres and such, so discuss and we'll figure out what we want and how many books.

How did we feel about tackling two books this past month? Do we want to do that again?

I'll second horror since I don't want to let go of the Halloween spirit just yet. NGL tho I really want to suggest the Illustrated HP that just came out, though. I guess I'm feeling a bit nostalgic so I'll go with MG/YA since I think Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's stone falls under MG/YA.

I can do the weekend polls. Are we doing genre and specific books or just one or the other?

But that's a special edition, isn't? How many people have it? I don't T_T

Maybe we can just do the regular edition? I've seen some people posting on the pictures on other social media and I kinda just wanna squee about them. But I'm open to doing something more widely available, too.

I like doing two - it gives people options if they don't like one of the choices.

Jess (jesmy777) We have never done a Harry Potter RAL here. We could! I'd gladly join in. :D

Amira (liightningbolt) | 68 comments I'm actually re-reading HP1 right now! Well, listening anyway.

I nominate Modern Classics again. And can we have a general/literary fiction option?

I'd love to do the new Welcome to Night Vale novel later this year or early next year. (My copy just came in the mail a few minutes ago.)

Would that qualify as general fiction or weird fiction? I'm not sure.

I'm fine with doing another modern classic.

All right, so our November genres are going to be Horror and another Modern Classic based on the noms. What books are we thinking?

And I have another question. What do you guys think about making December a catch-up month? Most people will be busy anyway, so why not leave that one open for everyone to catch up on this year's books and comment on past discussions before we start off in 2016?

Amira (liightningbolt) | 68 comments Yes @ that December idea! Would love a catch up reading month.

I support that motion xD

I recommend The Club Dumas, Let the Right One In or Pet Semetary for horror.


message 14: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (girlcomeundone) | 63 comments I would second Let the Right One In and also nominate NOS4A2

So we're in November, let's do this! I'm in the middle of The Magicians #1, but I can start reading the book we decide to read this month anytime.
