New Adult Book Club discussion

We are looking to do the travelling book programme again. If you haven't heard of this before it basically means a book is selected one paperback copy (usually donated by the author) is mailed around in turn to all the members who sign up to take part for them to read.

Our first one was back in 2013, and the winning book was Three Years Later by Casey McMillin. We had over 40 members sign up to take part, and the book successfully travelled to places such as Malaysia, Australia, Scotland, England Ireland, The Channel Islands and 17 different states in the US. Members left messages to the author in a notebook, and some sent little gifts for the next reader. We can run this however we like (maybe not writing in the book unless the author approves).

What are your thoughts on this idea? Most importantly readers would you join in? :)

yes

Yes. Sounds good.

Sounds fun.
I would join in.
I think for me it would just depend on what book is selected.

Sounds like fun! I'm in!

I would love to do this!!

This sounds great! Count me in!

sounds so fun :)

Sounds fun, I'm in!

This sounds awesome!

Count me in!

Depending on the book, I love this idea!

This sounds like such a good idea!

Great idea! Sounds so fun!

Wonderful idea! I'm in

Sounds like fun!

if this is still going, I am in!

Agreed - depending on the book it sounds fun

I'm curious how often a selected book is available in audio format. I never have enough time to read a book with my eyes but have plenty of time to listen! I love the idea of the group so I assume it may be hit and miss,

If this is still a go, I am in! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Well I send Derna a message about all the interest on this subject and am awaiting her response.

I hope she posts something soon, this sounded so awesome.

Sounds great, but again depends on the book

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for the interest at the moment I'm still waiting to hear from authors who would be interested in taking part. As soon as I have some/ one I will get back to you.

Hi Derna, I'm more than happy to donate a copy of my book! I'll send you an email with the details asap.

Would love to do this! We've done this with some of our own books in a book club that I'm in. We add a journal for people to make notes or add their thoughts in and we always throw in a postcard and some kind of treat for the next in line. It's fun!

I'm in for this!
