CIJ Book?
- Thread starter AnnieClaus
- Start date
Annie - How fabulous your are for making time for yourself! And, what motivation to get up early so you have time to relax and read! I love the idea. I snuck in a page or two during my very short lunch today.
Michelle - I just stopped by your blog (sorry, forgot to comment. I'll go back soon!) and have to say those cookies are adorable!!!! Also, I really liked reading about your Christmas book collection. I collect Christmas books too - probably started around the same time you did, but I also buy in paperback. I actually had to start an Excel sheet because I was duplicating them and Christmas CD's/DVD's. Now I carry it in my purse for quick reference. Do you use a system so you don't duplicate?
Annie -Hi, me again! I was wondering if at some point we might start a discussion about the book. I know that many of us (or at least me) are still reading. What if we started the discussion in August - maybe on the first day of our wrapping party? We could chat about if for the month and when the month ended - HELLO FALL!!!! I can't think of a better way to keep the CIJ cheer going. I want to defer to you though since this book read is all because of you.
Okay, I'm done. :0)

Kim, I don't have a system with my books, but after this last purchase I realize I will need to put one together so I don't duplicate them. It can happen very easily. I have my favorite authors and would like to try and complete those collections.
I'm still reading the book as well and have given myself the entire month, so August would be perfect for me too!

Kim - I do this, too. I find it is very helpful especially off-season when you tend to find discounted holiday books, movies and CDs. I also keep a typed Wish List handy!
Colleen - A typed wish list! You are speaking my language!!! Love lists. Any lists. Especially anything that has to do with Christmas! Just as a heads up, after Christmas last year - maybe early January or maybe the week between Christmas and New Years, can't remember - Books a Million put all their Christmas books on clearance. Novels, humor, childrens, cook books - you name it, it was marked down. I made out like a bandit. I have it on my calendar for this year, too.
Kim-
Yes, I was wishing we could somehow do a chat about the book. That way, those that read it could discuss without ruinining it for those that haven't had a chance yet to read it or may be saving it to read at the Holidays.
Is there anyway to lock a thread? So, maybe those that read it could discuss?

Yay, Foxpaw! Glad you got it!
Annie - I don't know about locking a thread but we could start a new one that says WARNING BOOK DISCUSSION - ENDING WILL BE REVEALED!!!! :0) What do you think about doing a discussion starting August 1?

I finished the book last night.
I have to say, I really enjoyed reading a Christmas book for Christmas in July.
Kim- Yes, I think we should start a discussion on the book for August 1st!
What a fun day August 1st will be- Book discussion AND Wrapping Party!

I better get reading! I'm reading three books right now. Don't ask me why I do that, I don't really know. I'll put the other two away and focus on our CIJ book so I can be ready to discuss it. I have not looked but wonder if there is a book club guide somewhere out there. Off to read!
One more week to read!
Then we'll do a chat or discussion of some type.
Kim- I'll look for a book club guide for it.
If not, I'll put my ex-teacher brain to use and come up with a few questions we can answer about the book.

I found discussion/book club questions for the book!
I'll probably pick just a few to post.
Looking forward to Sunday!
