Catching Fire, Mockingjay, and Choosing Our Next Book
Tallyho, Still Thinkers!
To accomodate everyone's schedules, we're going to postpone our chat on Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Our proposal: the evening of next Monday, November 14th. Please post your availability for that evening, and propose alternate dates/times if that will not work for you.
In light of the fact that we are a sophisticated group of multitaskers, we also wanted to start our conversation about choosing our next book, which is technically Book 12. Congratulations for all of the reading we have accomplished, and thank you for your participation!
Just think: that is so many books, you could bake a dozen cupcakes, and decorate each one differently to represent all of the books we have read. Of course, the twelfth cupcake would be as of yet unfrosted, because we don't yet know what we're reading, so...
Also in the comments, please post your suggestions for our next book! Without your input, our metaphorical twelfth cupcake will be forlorn and devoid of sprinkles.

The Hunger Games chat is at 8pm PST tonight.
If you can't make it, don't worry because there will be more. Although it has not been officially voted on, I think we might wrap up the series over the next couple months.
Hope you can join us!

Hunger Games
Hello friends,
September is falling into October so rapidly, it seems unreal. Since October is just around the corner, I wanted to see how everyone is doing with Hunger Games. Will you be ready chat the first week of October or do you need more time?
I have finished the book, so I would love if we could arrange a chat for the weekend of October 8. Please let me know what your status is, besides where you are in the book if you are reading it, it would also be nice to know if you are sitting this one out? I'd like to know how many people are still interested in the club because that will greatly influence how we choose our next book.
Let me know your status on the book soon, and if you can make a chat for the weekend of October 8. We can settle on date and time at a later date.
Thanks!

Hunger Games
Since I didn't get much input on book selection, I went ahead and chose a book for us based on Amanda's suggestions, and based on what my 8th graders are gonna read (selfish, I know).
Hunger Games is our next read, it should be really interesting and I've heard it is a fast read. Let's shoot for a mid-October discussion date, but depending on where people are in the book as September closes, I may push it back. Stay tuned, and let me know your availability.
