Book Club Book Poll

[tatersalad]

If they don't get picked I'll still be downloading The Invention of Wings and Everything I Never Told You. Both look really good. Thanks for setting this up!

[belle0720]

I'm in! I've never heard of any of these so I'll let you all decide

[gigi3126]

budders Thanks for setting this up!

[littlemissgrump]

I will have to get to a computer to see what's here! The anticipation!

[holliberry28]

Thanks for the suggestions budders! I really need to start reading again. I hope to participate.

[mrsmonogrammed]

I'm excited for this! I picked 2 but every description I read seemed better than the one before so I'll be thrilled with whatever way the vote falls.

[dmoney]

This thread excites me. I really want to start reading again, and this will give me a good reason to stay up a little bit later instead of going to bed at 8. Hope to be able to participate!

[belle0720]

Are we talking about "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins or "Girl on a Train" by A J Waines?

Figured I would read up on the few top voted choices and pick my favorite, so I want to make sure I'm reading about the right book.

[littlemissgrump]

I am happy with any of the picks!

[Deleted]

So I'm assuming the girl on the train won? What's the next step here?

[gigi3126]

It was a close one! Girl on the Train it is. Is everyone okay with a Sunday book club thread? It's the easiest day for me to check in and start one.

So when are we starting?

I was just thinking about this. I'm thinking that I'll give it a week, so that people can get their books. We can also set a goal of reading just the first chapter by Sunday. Or if everyone needs a little more time to get the book, we can just wait and do a check in to decide chapters for next week.

[musicfrk2002]

The ebook on Google play is $13. Is it cheaper to buy the actual book?

[tatersalad]

The Girl on the Train is so good. Get ready to lose some sleep when you stay up all night to finish it. I couldn't put it down after I started.

I paid €6.99 on kobo, do you have that?

I don't have that, but it's showing the same price on their website for me.

SITB
Are we starting Sunday May 8 or Sunday May 15?

[gigi3126]

jessila and everyone else who wants to do book club: I'm thinking we can do 3-4 chapters by 5/15. That would give people time to get the book and start reading. Does that sound okay?

[hannahl201477]

I just ordered it, so it won't be in until the 9thbut I can cath up with everyone whenever.

[gigi3126]

@scoop yup!

[stinybean]

I started "reading it"(listening on audible), but keep spacing out so I will be starting over.

[gigi3126]

@hazeldublin Lol! You can still participate. Just refresh yourself on what is happening in the chapters and chime in. It's essentially what I do with my students. Sometimes it's really hard not to give things away, but it works.

The chapters are named so can you list the chapters that are to be read? In the ebook version there's no numbers on them.

Read through the second Megan. The one that starts Tuesday October 2, 2012. In other words, stop at Rachel Monday, July 15, 2013.
It's about 50 pages, which I think I reasonable considering that some of us have less available reading time. (Ahem, me.)

I started reading tonight and had a really hard time putting it down! Clearly... It's 11pm and there is no one else awake in this house. Just me and the kindle.

Me too! I resisted reading too far ahead for now but no way will I make it to May 15.

Lol! We can start a thread early and those of us who haven't gotten there can just wait to contribute.

Sounds good to me, but someone else should probably get the ball rolling. I haven't started yet...*hangs head in shame. I'm a terrible book boss.

[belle0720]

Going to try to remember to download it to my ipad tonight! Someone who is awesome and is on the fb group, feel free to remind me in 8 hours.

[Bluedaisy]

I'm going to download it tonight or maybe tomorrow night!

[purple]

I also need to remember to download this! Part of the problem is that if I'm on my Kindle I'm not on TCF, and vice versa.

I just checked and I'm 15th in line at the library so I just did the e book library version.

So have it now! But only thing is it will delete off my phone in 21 days but I can just re download it whenever we do the questions I would think!

If you don't need the wi-fi on your kindle you can download the book then turn off your wi-fi. That way you are able to keep it until you're done. But if you're like me and watch Netflix on it, then you're on your own!

I'm picking up my copy at the library today!
