I'm hoping we can use the results of this poll to start a few book clubs on the forum! Maybe have po ...

Oh, yay! I thought I would wait a bit to let more votes come in before putting up threads to take suggestions for different genres, but I already have some ideas! Although I could see myself getting in over my head pretty easily. Haha! I think I'd need some help. That, or maybe we'd choose one genre at a time. Thoughts?

...just a few suggestions, maybe start out small because I'm not sure how many people would be interested, but we could start a book club and leave it open for all interested members to join. Then, following in the footsteps of the movie "The Jane Austen Book Club" we could choose a book by consensus and read a Chapter or two (for example - or any agreed amount) over a certain period of time (start off at slow pace, so not much time pressure), afterwards, all members would be welcome to post comments (like a review) and discuss thoughts, impressions and suggestions (in a kind, respectful manner) i.e, debate and disagree, but not attack personally - don't want to make it toxic, just get other people's perspectives in a fun, nurturing environment...sprinkled with jokes, digressions and even links to other books that members recommend. Please tell me if any of this works for you, Azuredove?
Thankyou

All of these suggestions sound great! For the most part, I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know about groups, though. A group sounds like it would be perfect for an ongoing conversation with multiple people joining in. As for genres, I think it might be a good idea to begin with either Mystery/Thriller or Classic Literature based on popular votes from the poll. And I already have a suggestion for each genre: The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix (which, I believe, also includes a reading guide for book clubs) or possibly Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I haven't yet read either one, but both are spooky reads. And speaking of Jane Austen, I will definitely go re-watch The Jane Austen Book Club! That's a good tip! Also, I have no idea how to set up groups or polls. Haha! I told you I am in over my head and I would definitely appreciate any help I can get! But I love this idea!
Great poll! Thank you!
I don’t under why romance doesn’t have its own section?
It will be great if we can have some Chinese and Japanese books as well =)
