The Not-So Austen Bookclub discussion

I've always longed for a bookclub that was online.

One that was accessible, full of new and exciting books and with lots and lots of fellow bookworms so I could rant squeal discuss my favourite novels.

So I woke up one morning and decided to make one. On Blogger.

Now, with the help of some brilliant and wonderful people, I've expanded it to Goodreads so as to get the message out there: People like reading and people who like reading should stick together!

Just think: one day people may not even know what reading is!! Some people I know have no idea what The Lord of the Rings is. There are people out there who don't know who Jane Austen is, either.

It has begun. The slow disintegration of bookworm-dom.

But do you know what else has begun? The revolution! I've created this bookclub. And you are apart of it!! And with each bookworm that joins, the bookworm spirit spreads further and further. It is possible to change the world...one book at a time :)

So thank you for joining and I hope you fall deeper in love with the world of literature than you were already!

Best wishes,
~ Booknut 101 Herself

YAY! Another Jane Austen fan!!! I think all people should love Jane Austen, you know? Then the world would be a better place, full of men with bowler hats and charming smiles, women with fluttering fans and witty banter and libraries full of Tennyson's poetry.

*sigh* Unfortunately...this is the 21st century. But still!

Hey everyone :)

Can't wait to discuss books (and Jane Austen) with you all!! :D

Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors! She gives a new meaning to the word "classic."

This group sounds great!

Jane Austen was such an amazing writer of victorian romance and elegance which she portays so beautifully in all of her works and hence it is so sad that her own life was far from wha..."

I agree! Jane Austen, in my opinion, is one of the greatest authors ever! Her writing is beautiful and her diversity of characters is amazing! I love to be transported back to a time of balls and dresses and just "experience" a different world from ours. It is fascinating!

Lucinda wrote: "Dear Olivia,
What i have always loved most about the Jane Austen books & films is all the elegance and decadence of it and how there was chivalry. One was so polite and everything else was left hu..."

That's true. There was an ere of politeness and modesty that no longer exists today. The clothes they wore were beautiful without being "too showy" like many clothes today. The way they danced was beautiful and elegant. The way people dance today is well, not. If you get transported back in time please take me with you!

Lucinda wrote: "Dear Olivia,
You are apsolutely right & of course if i get transported back in time in a time machine, then you can come with me!
Lucinda :)"

Yay! I look forward to it:)

thank you so much for inviting me! i've had such an incredible time here and met so many amazing book lovers!!!

Haha nice:) I haven't read the last 2 yet because I don't have enough money to buy them and going to the library will make me sad because I can't own them...

Lost Prince and me - a love story! I can't wait for it to come out, mainly because Iron Knight and the Iron Fey Valentine's story awoke my love for it again after finishing the first three books. I can't wait to find out what happens with Ethan!

Thanks for the invite Booknut :)
And I don't like how people are losing interest in reading ether :/
I bought my boyfriend a book for Christmas, and he told me it was his VERY first novel >.<

Thank you for your invite, Booknut! :)

*gasps* Oh the horror! Well, I guess you know what to get him next Christmas!! :)

And every holiday after that. And remember, it is perfectly alright to make up holidays as an excuse to get him to read.

Like 'Bookworm Day', 'Will Herondale's Birthday', 'Demon Pox Day', 'Non-Bookworm Support Day'...!

You know Will's birthday?!?

I wish!
