ok i feel like a bum for so many reasons.
1. somehow i made myself a follower here. ha ha
2. i cant figure out how to comment on rachels post
3. i am a loser and dont think im up to 25 chapters a week. you guys are wonderwomen seriously...i can barely manage 1 baby and reading, forget about everything else you guys are involved in! long story short this is what i think i feel comfortable with: 1 book per month every other month. that would be about 15 chapters a week (so we have plenty of time to do a bit of research too)and then a break month so we dont start referring our husbands accidentally as book character names (my bad). ha ha i feel bad and am so impressed at you gusto. the beauty of 3 members is one of us can be trumped...so please let me know what you guys feel like. i dont mind if i skip a book and you both continue reading next month either- its just super busy w/ vacations etc.
good news:
a thought about supplementing reading. in another book club we have taken characters and then discussed our thoughts on them (traits, our feelings, what critics have said etc.)as a club as the book progresses. thats a pretty easy (and it is always so fun)way to get our feet wet in book clubbing Jane i think. we can also do questions too... whatever we want.
love you guys- and again sorry im a pill, ill be checking back for your thoughts!
love paige

sorry ladies about my poor spelling yikes....but on the up side i figured out how to comment here:)
I'm not sure what I think :) On one hand, that sounds find to me. But, on the other, I wonder if we spread it out too much if it will fizzle out.
At first I was a little overwhelmed because I had to catch up. But now that I have, I only need to read 3-4 chapters a night to stay caught up.
What chapter are you on Paige? Sarah, what are your thoughts?
Rachel
ps...Paige you are not lame :)
What if we read 15 chapters per week, no matter how long the book is that we're reading? Some books may take 4 weeks, some may take 6. That's only 2-3 chapters a day. When we complete a book, we take a week off before starting the next? I think if we say every other month, we won't start up again.
i think that sounds perfect. and if we do that i dont even know if we'd need a week off...it'll be easy breezy...we can just see how we feel when we finish. i agree a month is too long.
plus anyone who wants to read more can...just dont spoil the ending ha ha:) we can just stick to this format for study questions, discussion and such?
I already call Brian "Mr Darcy" anyway:)
Sounds good girlies!
Yay! So by next Wed, we will make it to chapter 40?
Well Brian IS very amiable :)
If only we lived at Pemberly!
ch. 40 by next wed is a go!
