Hangout for Friendly Readers discussion

In another Goodreads group I belong to, they do something that might be a good idea for this group as well: they use the term "buddy reads" for what are in effect informal mini common reads, member-initiated, and open to anyone in the group who wants to take part. These usually have more than just two participants; they aren't featured at the top of the group page and there are no whole-group notifications or changes of shelf status for the book involved, but the discussions are carried on using a dedicated thread on the discussion board for each one, rather than by personal message. So, I've created this thread for any proposals along this line that any members of this group might wish to suggest, from time to time!
