Book Club - different Chapters?

I also posted this in the August Nomination topic within the Book Club community. I wanted to get the word out about my idea. Do we have interest in these Book Club decisions?

I know we're all busy, but the Firefly Book Club is a great way to feel connected and learn with each other. It's our book club, we can do whatever we want! Such as...
  • If we want to take more than one month to read a book, we can
  • If we want to take less time to complete a book, we can
  • If we want to have multiple book choices going at the same time during the month, we can
  • If we want to create different "clubs" or "chapters" (ooh...that's a cute term, let's use that!) within the larger category of the "Book Club", yes we can!
    • Some possible Chapters:
      I had way too much fun coming up with these "chapter" themed titles...
      • The Otherworld (spiritual topics)
      • Witches and Broomsticks (craft topics)
      • The Realm of Fae (fairy topics)
      • Fantastic Adventure (fantasy fiction)
      • The Final Frontier (science fiction)
      • Healthy Dose of Reality (non-fiction)
      • Teen Dream (young adult fiction)
      • Splatter Punk Ketchup Freaks (horror genre)
      • ...

I like this idea, because I think we all have different tastes and moods. Although having only one book choice for everyone is unifying, it also deflects some people from participating. I think that reading should our main focus for this group. Let's get people to read with us! Even if a Chapter has only two participants...who cares! That's awesome. Friendships are formed under such conditions.


What do you all think about this?

I would be all for this. I was on a Google Pagan Book Club group but it fizzled out.

Oooh, me too! Anything with the word 'book' in it attracts me like a moth to candlelight. It'll give me a good push to know that someone is reading and learning 'beside' me.

Cool! I really like the Chapter idea. I think it might help people feel more inspired if they find their favored genre. Don't know how to go about it though...the threads could get complicated...hmmm. Thanks for the support!
