I have a bit of a compulsion when it comes to acquiring books. My personal library is my happy place - it keeps me calm, the only problem is that I have acquired far more books than I will ever be able to read in my lifetime. I love both fiction and nonfiction. I am a history buff, especially NYC History and General American History (I am a... more »

    LOL, I know. It's a shame. I heard a rumor that you can download a track to play along with the Twilight movie. They couldn't get the rights to use the movie to make a show, but apparently you play the audio, while you watch the movie. I will be searching to see if this is true.

    Absolutely, I'd love to. Do you need me to post some questions on the 1st to kick off the discussion?

    Greetings CROAH member!


    We are now accepting nominations for the next group read to cover the fourth US President, James Madison.

    Please send your suggestions via one of 2 ways:

    a) a private note to either Regina or Dog Lover (this method reveals your email address to us), or

    b) use the "Questions About this Group" text box found on the member's tab. This sends an email to both administrators and masks your email address.

    Please do NOT post your nomination to the site's discussion tab.

    Please include the title, author, and brief description of the book. It would also be nice if you included the Shelfari book page URL.

    Nominations will be accepted through the 18th. Nominations will be posted and voting will take place through the 25th. We will post the selected book on the 26th.

    Because we are approaching the Holidays a revised schedule will be followed for the remainder of 2009 and beginning of 2010. We will vote for the Madison read in October, post discussion questions in November, skip December, vote on Monroe reads in January, and post discussion questions in February.

    A suggestion has been made to continue the extended reading schedule past the Holidays and provide 2 months between book selections. We would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Would it help you? Would you lose momentum? Are you too busy to participate on the current schedule.

    Please post your comments on this proposed scheduling change to the nomination thread found at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/146618/James-Madison-Nominations-are-Open

    The four books we've chosen since the group started have been fabulous. We look forward to seeing the nominations for the fifth.

    Thanks,

    Regina & DL

    I'm glad you liked Shutter Island - it's one of my favorite books. I've recommended it highly to many people, unfortunately fewer people that anticipated "get it." So, without spoiling the storyline - what do you think happened? Feel free to responde privately to that.

    Glad you did the "invite" - thanks!

    I LOVE the Group Read Central thing - terrific idea!

    I have some suggestions about making that information more, er, "findable". If you are interested, we can chat in the CROAH

    Yo Brad!

    We have a new member in the subgroup! (YEA!) I usually post a welcome public note when someone joins one of my groups. Do you wish to do that or do you want me to do it?

    Greetings CROAH members!

    The nominations are in for the CROAH September group read about Thomas Jefferson.

    You'll find the ballot at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/137240/Vote-for-Thomas-Jefferson-Reads---September-2009

    This is a "ballot" therefore...

    Please vote only once.

    Please indicate only a vote "for" - do not vote against a title.

    Please do not include any sales talk or justification for your vote - just "yae" or "for".

    The last 3 reads have been just fabulous. With this range of nominations, it looks as though we'll have another winner for our 4th group read!

    Thanks so much to all of you who submitted nominations - great job!

    Lookin' forward to your votes,

    DL

    The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly - Far from being as good as The Tea Rose.
    Hidden Currents - Not for the faint of heart - Lots of action.

    I had to leave this comment after spotting your avatar- seeing Buster Keaton put a huge smile on my face. I've been looking for some good history & horror books, so I'll be browsing your shelf for ideas, happy reading!

    I don't really have a preference either - I'm happy to take Ireland if you've got an Africa book in hand. I'm enjoying the heck out of my Scotland book and should have it finished today. Can I have India in the last leg? I've had The Marriage Bureau for Rich People out from the library but figured I'd save it for the India tag.

    You, too. No rush. I'm guessing the third leg won't start until Friday. I have to say I'm relieved you're strategizing this about as determinedly as I am!

    Got a preference for leg 3? I've got some Christopher Brookmyre books I haven't read yet, which would cover Scotland, but I'm bound to have something tagged "America" too, so either way.

    I've got France tomorrow, right?
