See you on November the 16th

Sorry for the delay, Bookworms.
We encountered some technical difficulties when we tried to book our next meeting room.

But fear not! This has been solved and we will meet November 16th in UCU 206.

If you can't make it to this time, but you want to discuss the book with fellow club members, head to our Goodreads group and post your thoughts in the discussion board.

A Winner is Crowned. A New Round of Voting Begins.

It doesn't get any closer than this. You guys have chosen The Book Thief by Markus Zusak for our November Book of the Month. Scott Westerfeld is crying in a corner somewhere because his book, Leviathan, lost out by just one vote!

The poll for our next meeting time is up on our website now. Let us know if you guys are open to the idea of going to watch the movie adaptation afterwards. The Book Thief opens in theatres November 15th. Here is the movie trailer:

Are you on Goodreads?

Are you on Goodreads.com? We know a few of our members are users on Goodreads and would love to connect with fellow book club members on there. If you want to share your Goodreads profile with us, you can do so in three ways:

1) Comment below with your Goodreads link
2) Email us your Goodreads link
3) Post on our Facebook page your Goodreads link

We will create a tab on the website dedicated to Goodreads info; that way other club members can befriend you on there.

Q: So what is http://goodreads.com/?
A: It's basically a website where you can catalog the books you've read and find more books to read. You can post reviews, interact with other book-lovers and look-up book ratings.

Q: I don't have an account. Is sign up free?
A: Of course! And signing up is easy. As far as I know, you can sign up using your email, Facebook, Twitter or Google +.

Anyways, that's it. Our book club is also on Goodreads. Feel free to join our group and give us some loooove. It's pretty empty right now.
