I’m breaking my usual Silent Sunday rule! We’ve been having some chatter about starting an online book club through my blog.
I’ve had a word with my techie expert (hello Jan!) to see how we can start a page that can be sub-divided into separate books and their comments, so we don’t have thousands of comments about all the books in one long stream.
Jan will do her usual magic and get back to me, so if anyone out there would really like this to go ahead, please comment on this blog post so I have a rough idea of whether it is a good idea to launch ‘Reading Between The Wines’?
Maybe thinking about doing one book a month to stretch our MS-foggy minds? So let me know (and please spread the word!!) and we’ll see where it takes us…..
Sounds like an awesome idea to me !!! You definitely have my intrest , I love to read & was part of a book club at one time but because of my MS it made it to difficult to get out & when I needed my chair not everyones house can accomedate my needs !!! But I miss it &i love read , so I think it would ne fun !!! Let me know how thinga work out . Oh will this be limited as to who can participate ? I have a friend who might enjoy it to , but he don’t have MS … Be good , talk to you soon .
P.S – i’m looking 4qard to 2morrows guest blogger !!! X <3 🙂
Hey Scot!
Yay, my first book-clubber!! This is exactly what we were thinking – a book club for people who can’t /aren’t able /don’t have enough time to go to a physical book club. But definitely not only for MSers – also open to anyone who fancies it, so invite him along. There’s a whole bunch of friendly people I have ‘met’ through this blog so would be good to do something social! Wine is mandatory, lol.
Tomorrow’s guest blogger is brilliant, just like you!

Yay! Count me in.
🙂
Woo hoo! I’ll be looking forward to your comments!

I really would like to be the second member!
Its a great possibiliy to everyone wherever we live!
Hope t have more news about the club soon!
Hey there!
I will keep you all updated, no worries. Am very excited about this – a truly international book club!!

I like it!
Hi Nicole!
Excellent – so far we definitely have enough numbers for it to go ahead, but more always welcome!

interested to see how this goes – “real” book clubs turn into a bit of ‘who can shout the loudest’ cock fight. please note: my reading time can be dependent on the vagaries /moodswings / sleep patterns of my 21 month old daughter
Hey Steve
You must have been at my last book club, lol. It descended into shouty matches about politics, fueled by wine. Am sure our online one will be better!
At least this way, we can fit it round everything else, including 21 month olds, bless you.

Would love it but I may be a slow starter lol!!
Hi Anita!
Everyone welcome – we’ll give ourselves a month to read the book we choose, so no pressure, promise!
X
So how will we pick the book we’re going to read each month ? will yoi provide us w/ a list ? And if there’s anything at all that I can do to help you get this up & running just tell me what u need , I don’t mind saying i’m really excited about this ,being able to be part of a book club again , I miss yhings like that so much !!!
Hi Scot,
Great timing! In discussion with Jan, the wonder-techie-expert. Seems it isn’t as simple as it looks. We may need to set up a private club at http://www.bookclubit.com and manage it that way. Take a look and see what you think? Would be great to have moderators to run it alongside l’il ole me.
We could easily order book from amazon and they do free 3-5 day delivery. If we have a month of discussion, plenty of time.
I’m really excited too.I don’t get out much, lol. Good to be part of a community.
