Title: just to let you know, starting up a bookclub this weekend!
Post by: mrmoody on May 23, 2012, 09:54:16 PM
starting this weekend, members more than welcome to join. will explain more tomorrow. I did start one on another depression forum and it was very rudely taken over without me being informed. anyways I dont feel welcome there and shall be spending more time here now. I have made some great friends in people from this forum so that in itself makes me feel more welcome and supported here. Hope to see you at bookclub soon! Alex

ok, you ask to join first, I put everyones names alphabetically by screename and that how we go through the list of members. I will put the list up on the sub forum that Pip has already started for me. I give four weeks between each book title and I will ask via PM for the book choice of the member whose turn it is, I can then announce it on the book club thread and so it goes. If you join and your not up to finishing a book, cant concentrate or get a book from your local library dont worry, its not a pressured thing, just something to relax about and enjoy

Just to let everybody know mrmoody is the moderator for The Book Club board so is 'in charge' there.  Any problems let him know and it will be sorted.

Pip can I ask you a favour please. I hope to get on a pc at the library tomorrow but my main source of internet is a rubbishy little phone. I need to get an alphabetical list up and running for tomorrow of members and then I can PM the first member on the list and ask them what book they want to choose. Then I can start bookclub officially folks! bear with me, its an economic and tech issue. I am on the dole and cant afford a laptop or pc right now
Title: Re: just to let you know, starting up a bookclub this weekend!
Post by: Ezel on May 25, 2012, 08:05:37 PM
No probs, I'll sort that out now and pm you the list.

just letting you all know the book club is up and running and all further information is in the Book Club sub-forum including the list and first book choice by Beetzart
