Welcome!

Welcome!!!

I love reading so much but since having Baby K, I find it difficult to get my reading in! So I have decided to create a book club to help me make sure I schedule my reading!!

This is going to be a fun process as we feel our way through and make sure each club member's voice is heard in this process.

So here are a few firsts:

1. The first book of the Book Babes bookclub will be "Say You're One of Them" by Uwem Akpan. This book was on Oprah's Book Club and has been in my Must Read book pile (there are about 50 books collecting dust!!). In the future, we'll be taking suggestions and letting everyone decide which book we read.

2. We're going to start off by reading a few chapters at a time and we'll give a date that we'll "meet" back up here to discuss the chapters we've read. I know we are all really busy so it will be more like a question/answer post that everyone can comment on in their own time and read through other comments.

We'll begin the book club on Tuesday, November 1st. I think that gives everyone plenty of time to pick up the book. On November 1st, we will announce the chapters that we'll need to read in that week and it will also say the day that we're meeting back up to discuss.

I'm really excited about this. It will keep me reading and I hope it will get lots of others to read more, too. It's always fun to discuss books-- especially the ones that leave a mark on us! If you have any suggestions on anything else - please shoot me a message.

So let's do a bit of a roll call. If you plan to participate or you're thinking about participating, please leave a comment!
