Here's the RSS feed to our Push discussion to at least pique your interest. http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%23_Push_
Hi Italdumpling, Thank you for responding. You're the only one who did! We decided to read Sapphire's Push instead of Kola Boof's Long Train to the Redeeming Sin. It was the better choice since the movie Precious opens next Friday. Twitter is addicting, so it's best you stay away. I think you may like it if you download a client like Tweetdeck or even use a web-based client like Hootsuite. It makes it easier to see incoming tweets, respond to mentions and hold private conversations.If you ever join us on the chatty side of the Internet, we use the hashtag #_Push_ to respond to questions about Sapphire's book.
italdumpling,Would you be interested in a Twitter bookclub for Kola Boof's Long Train to the Redeeming Sin? I'm currently in a Twitclub for Orange Mint and Honey by Carleen Brice whose also on Twitter. Our discussion leader posts 2-3 questions a day for 1 chapter a day (Mon-Fri). We keep track of the questions and answers via a hashtag. Several times, Carleen Brice the author joins in the discussion!!! It's fun and frankly way more engaging than Shelfari! We just started Orange Mint so I estimate we'll begin Long Train by November. I'm sure she'll join in! Kola Boof is also on Twitter so I thought it would be great to choose Long Train for our next selection. I'm sure she'll join in!If you're like me and don't stick around Shelfair because it isn't interactive, then join us on Twitter. @vizionheiry (My Twitter username)
