Let's brainstorm here, lol....before I go ahead and start the group, hehehe.

- What should we call it? Sweet Readers? LOL, I dunno.
- Would you like to have a monthly read and discussion? Less frequent? More frequent? Not at all?
- What types of things would you like to have discussions/categories for? Recommendations based on genre, etc?

I'll totally start one if you all want to join in! :)
 
Oooh this could be fun! I've never joined a reading group before so I don't have any suggestions for you. But I'd join, and I think Sweet Readers or Sweet Reads, Sweet Stories... could be cool names.

I think a monthly read and discussion would be great. Gives me a chance to find the book and read it, sometimes I'm reading 2-3 books in one week but sometimes life gets busy.
 
Sweet Reads is what I had in mind Bree :)

A monthly group read sounds great! I also love the idea of book recommendations by genre - that sounds really cool.

I'll put thinking cap on as far as other ideas too!

I personally like Sweet Reads for a group name.

I'm a newbie here . . . but I was in a book club before (IRL) and I absolutely LOVED it and would love to join in.

Monthly or every 8 weeks is good, and I'm up for reading a wide variety of books.

Sounds like fun!
 
Sweet Reads sounds good! And I like the monthly read idea. I am also open to all genres! :D
I'm so excited, I'm glad I asked you all what kind of books you like lol!
 
Sweet Reads sounds good! For many, many years I was a book-a-day reader, and since having kids and discovering digiscrapping I've hardly read at all. Reading the Twilight books made me realize how much I've missed it, so I'd love to try the book club with all of you. I vote for a book a month, maybe 1 every 6 weeks if we're choosing longer reads.
 
Definitely sign me up. I read in spurts, but a monthly book sounds great. I like the recommendations by genre idea. Can we throw in family read-aloud books or children's lit in there too?
 
Oh this sounds cool! I've always wanted to join a book club :D I love Sweet Reads :thumbup:
 
I like the name Sweet Reads and the idea of doing it by genre, that way we all learnig about a bunch of different books we might enjoy
 
I love the idea (what kind of librarian-turned-SAHM would I be if I didn't LOL).
Sweet Reads sounds great and I like the idea of recommendations by genre. Sign me up!
 
I'd love to be a part of this too. I was just looking at Goodreads and noticed that there are actually a couple groups that are already using the name Sweet Reads. But, that doesn't necessarily mean we can't use it as well. I'm in either way!
 
I like Sweet Reads and don't mind if other groups have the same name. Or...we could do Sweet{er} Reads! LOL

I love to read and have really stretched way outside my box over the past year!

Sign me up!!
 
I love reading, just about anything, so I am game.

I do have GoodReads, but I just use it to keep track of books I have read/want to read. lol I don't do reviews. hehehe Well, I am not opposed to them, just have never done one.
 
Just thinking - is there a place I need to go to sign up?
I am a library-er. Can we have a few weeks or have a few books in advance so I can reserve them at the library? I live in a big city and getting a book (if it is not on the best sellers list or new) is really a non-issue, but for some it might be.

I like Sweet{er} Readers - kinda has a ring to it.
 
I've never been part of a reading group before. Is it something you can dip into? I love reading but for the past few years I've not been able to read anything too heavy/ tragic - can I still join in if I know will not be up to the sadder choices?

Also I'm in the UK, so I may have issues on getting hold of some books quickly, if at all - I would imagine the same may apply to others outside the US, so being selective about some of the book choices may be as a consequence of simple availability :)

Regardless of the above, this is such a lovely community idea.
 
I think this is a great idea! I just recently started reading again...after a very long hiatus! I'd love to join in :)
 
Sounds good to me too! I think every month or so would be great.

I'm part of a book club with a group of friends - we meet monthly and just vary the types of books we read. It's been fun to read books that I would not have picked up otherwise and often find that I've really enjoyed them.

I know it was helpful for us when we had a few months of books planned out so that people had time to get them from the library, or order them all at once from Amazon, etc...
 
I missed this but I'd totally be in!

I teach and have two small kids, so if it's a long read, I'd vote for a bit longer.
 
Hey girls...I'll go ahead and get this group set up in the next couple of days, or maybe after NSD. I just got out of the hospital today (surgery was yesterday) and I'm thinking of heading to bed, lol. If I get a burst of energy at like 2 am, I just might get it done tonight. ;)
