The Book Monsters discussion

Kate and I have been talking about doing some more fun stuff on the blog, but it's not as interactive to keep it on the blog, so we have decided to create a Goodreads group. We plan on having some fun stuff, including a monthly read-a-long, which you can vote for your choice in the polls.

I will also be taking suggestions for our first challenge soon as well. So, glad you have joined us and hope you have a lot of fun on here!

Hi I'm Colleen:), I don't do well with reading challenges because I'm a finicky reader. I read according to how I'm feeling that particular moment.

But, by way of suggestion, you can set up a section for book trailers. Everyone loves book trailers.

OOooo! Great suggestion *goes to work on it* Thanks Colleen for joining us!

No problem.

Could we have a thread to share giveaways too maybe? :) I'm always looking for fun things to enter!

Great idea! Will add it now. :)

What a great idea!

Thanks for the invite Kate and this sounds wonderful.

Thanks for joining us Anne and Babs!

Thank you Kristen :)

this looks like so much fun! thanks for the invite!

Thanks everyone for joining! We are so excited about starting this.

This group looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the invite, Kristen :)

You're welcome Eden and thanks for joining us!

Great idea! I've been super busy and so have been less interactive on goodreads groups, but I enjoy challenges! Anything to help me burn through this giant pile of over 250 books. :) Or you know... make saidpile of books worse. :)

Yay! Glad to have you Lady Ozma! My pile will never get smaller it seems... :)

Glad I"m not alone in that. I've been stuck at somewhere between 225-275 for 3 years. Ack!

Lady Ozma you are not alone my tbr pile will never go down :)

Who votes we need a book reading retreat????

Then again, we'd probably just swap the books we finish and end up with stacks three times as big! LOL

You are right our stacks would get higher, but think of the fun we would have :).

It would be so much fun, for sure! And hmmm, maybe we could survive the book stacks getting higher. Just a reason to live longer. Who can die with all these unfinished books, right? I figure at the rate I'm going, I will live to be 347.

Only 347? I am figuring at least 1000. You have to imagine factoring in all the other books that will be released as we get older.

I'm too afraid to contemplate that. Besides, I figure at some point we'll be able to jack those books right into our brains, greatly speeding up the reading process. Imagine, 8 hours of sleep turns into dreaming the latest book. Multitasking at its finest! :)

THat would be awesome. Or be able to read at Superman's speed. I need a room like in the book The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams. It stops all time and the girl in the book is forced to go in there to do all of her homework. I'd love to sit in there and read a books. Days would just be longer. :)

Wow, that would be cool, too. :) Though I still like the taking advantage of sleeping hours. It's like listening to an audiobook when driving. You take something that is normally a huge chunk of not being able to read time and turn it into reading time! :)

Yes! I <3 audiobooks. It makes doing dishes, working out and cleaning all the more fun.

Thanks for the invitation Kristen. I love to read but don't have a lot of time right now - more time in Sept when my kids are off to University - YEAH!!!!

You're welcome Laima! Lol. YAY! ;) That's something to look forward to!

Hi everyone, Heather here!

Welcome Heather!
