Cate and I just wanted to send out a reminder about a few of our group's guidelines. As the moderators, Cate and I are responsible for starting all discussion threads. We want to make sure that all discussion threads are on topic, relevant to our readings, and, of course, appropriate for our community, which is why we start them.
In regard to buddy reads: if there is a book you would like to read with others, please let me or Cate know. If there is no overlap with any upcoming polls or group reads, we will post a buddy read thread for you and others to discuss a particular book. We also want to make sure there aren't too many buddy reads going on at the same time so as not to overwhelm members or distract from the main books we are discussing as a group. A great source of books for buddy reads are those that ranked high on a monthly poll but did not win. We'd love to see more of those titles in our group, especially since there are usually others in the group who'd like to read them.
In regard to group book discussions: if you have specific questions you would like to raise about a book we are reading, please post in the mid-month check-in thread or the end-of-the-month discussion thread. If you'd prefer, you can also contact me or Cate, and we will make sure to include your question(s). If you are interested in leading the discussion for one of our monthly books, we also welcome that! Again, just get in touch with me or Cate, and we will work out the details.
I hope this clears things up for everybody! As always, we want this to be a fun and safe place for people to read and discuss books, and we welcome your feedback and questions. Cate and I are here to listen and chat if you ever want!
