Alright, a board book club seemed to generate some interest. Does anyone have suggestions for books to read? Fiction/nonfiction/whatever all welcome.

Potential options:
The City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
Big Little Lies by Lianne Moriarty (book the show is based on)
Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple
House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
Curse on the Wolf King by Tessonja Odette
These are all novels. I'm open to other suggestions too.

Where'd You Go Bernadette sounds like a good, easy one to start with. I've already read Big Little Lies, but wouldn't mind reading it again.

I’m in, will read what the group lands on.
Is this where I confess that I’ve never been in a book club before?

Lol. Thanks. I'll go with Where'd You Go, Bernadette? When do we have to read it by? (I've also never been part of a book club). How long do people think they'll need to get it and read it? I'd say early April at the absolute earliest. But if someone thinks they'll need more time, we can do it later.

I'm going to get it from our library, which has to get it from another library. I also have to go to the library and get my library card reactivated.

How does this work? Do we start reading- do we do it all together?

How does this work? Do we start reading- do we do it all together? Well, people want to have a zoom chat to discuss, so I think we should all read and set the date/time for our chat. My copy just got here today. I bought a used one off ebay. We want to make sure that mrscheese can join in, so probably a weekend evening would be better for all. Though you east coasters may have to stay up a bit late.

I could definitely go a little later but I very rarely make it past 10 anymore. Old😔
