I am so pleased that there is interest in a book club here on Steepster!

This is the thread to add your Official Book Nominations for MAY 2010! I’ll be taking them until Sunday April 18th at Midnight. If you see a book that you would like to nominate already mentioned in the thread, there is no need to nominate it again. You can cast your vote for it once I put up the voting thread.

The voting thread will contain a list of the nominations and you can cast a vote for one book for May’s book club selection. That vote will be open for one week, and close Sunday April 25th. I will then announce May’s selection on Monday April 26th, and we will start on May 1st!

I will be doing research on how to best conduct an online book group. I have run an in person one, but never online! My gut tells me to keep it on Steepster, and have it be a thread on Discussions we can add to as we wish. The main thread message will be reading guidelines/questions to think about/etc.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to add them to the other book club thread for the sake of clarity, or PM them to me, and I am also available at
j m a n n i AT u a r t s DOT e d u via email. I love suggestions and I want this to be a collective effort. Please tell me if something doesn’t make sense, or can be done a better way.

Interested in leading the group in some capacity (taking nominations, doing the vote, guiding the discussion) for JUNE? PM or email me :)

xoxoxoxxoxo Thank you all so much for making this exciting, interesting, and fun!! I love you guys!!!

EDIT: I really like Doulton’s idea about choosing ahead. How about we make the runner up book June’s book and #3 July’s book to save us some picking angst? Then we can see how that works and see if a three month choosing cycle works for us?
