August "Picking Party"

It's a new bookclub year and we're tryin' out some new ideas. We met last night for our annual "picking party", although it wasn't just books we were picking. Instead we were picking months. Let me explain.... people got to volunteer (or not) to be responsible for book selections for a given month. Here's how it works:

1. Two months prior to the month you signed up for, you select three books that seem of interest to you. You have total freedom in your book selection... it's your month. You can choose books from one specific genre of your choice OR three books in totally different genres. You can pick books that you've read or simply ones that you've been wanting to.
2. I post the books on the blog, along with a brief synopsis and picture.
3. Everyone gets a week to vote.
4. Two months later, we meet and talk about the book.

This is an opportunity for those that would like a say in the book selection, to guarantee to have one. It also gives us a chance to read more current books, if that's what we're interested in... the votes will speak for themselves!

Any questions? Pose it in the comments section... you're probably not the only one confused!

Stay tuned... I'll be posting October's book selections up for vote this weekend!
