book club thread...

[personal profile] diet_poison 2014-12-09 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Guys, we've tried a couple of times to take recs for January, but it's been hard for me and Bigpaw to get the post up consistently. I work 4 nights a week, and lately I've been even more distracted by work and holiday stuff and possibly some family stuff that's come up that may interfere even more.

I think it might be wise to just skip January as a book club month - we could even extend the discussion date for All Creatures Great and Small if anyone else thinks they might have trouble finding the time to read the book this month (that's optional though, and I should be able to get it done if necessary).

I'm really sorry about this, guys. :(

(Additionally, if there's anyone else who would like to help out with the running of the club, please let me know. It would be super helpful to have someone who could help cover announcements on the nights I'm not home.)

(Oh, also, if you did rec a book for January - I haven't checked the posts in a couple of days - those recs will still be good to use next time!)

Don't know if you want to try this, but maybe you could use previously recced books that weren't selected, or are on cooldown? Maybe the ones that made it to a tiebreak and didn't get chosen? There's a lot of books that were recced previously, so if no one's reccing for Jan, that might be an option...

SA Don't mean to say you should do that for Jan, since it's a busy time. But just in case it happens in the future!

Yeah, the other options in the tiebreaks would make a great backup list. You know there's interest, so keeping them in reserve isn't a gamble. That way, you don't have to worry as much about January or any other month with similar circumstances.

My issue with doing that is that there has been basically zero participation so far. If nobody is making recs, and it's a busy time, it seems unlikely that very many people will take the time to read the books and participate in the discussion.

And yeah at this point I don't want to start a rec thread for January since by the time we finished with that and voting and possible tiebreakers it'd be basically the end of the month. Don't want a repeat of what happened with the December book.
