Last edited Sun May 27, 2012, 12:14 PM - Edit history (2)

the book for the bookclub choice is One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd.

i looked in our libraries and we have one copy. to give others an idea whether the library carries it. libraries also have intra library loan which now costs us $3.45 ish. it used to be free. ah, well. that can take up to two weeks to get.

i checked my kindle and the price $9.99. barnes and noble is $10.98. i checked the stock at barnes and noble, and they have a copy there. i also saw used for .99, though those would have to be ordered.

there are also plenty of used on amazon for a buck. and four dollar shipping.

women, ... this is now little stars baby. she is going to organize the reading the book.

if anyone has any problem getting a copy, please pm me. i want everyone to participate that wants to participate. dont let anything hold you back.

edit.... how long do you women think we need to get the book, before we start the discussion. we really are new to this, so we need some feed back.... june 1st, this friday, or june 15 a little more time to get the book?

1. When are we supposed to start?

I've never been in a "book club" before.

2. i am handing it to little star. she is experienced. i pmed her and she

can give me that stuff to put in this OP and i will edit and add. so that stuff is not in her book thread. check back today.

[seabeyond]

4. we havent either. so, how long do you feel we need to start discussion? nt

[Little Star]

9. People are talking down thread about when we should start....

so far it looks like most say June 15th. Go down & post when you think we should start. Sea's counting up the answers in this thread.

[seabeyond]

3. Good job on this, Seabeyond... Thanks for doing the research!

And, now, LittleStar takes the stage! Thanks to you both for doing this.

5. People need some time to be able to procure the book.

I go with the 15th for start of reading the first chapter.

[Little Star]

6. June 15th get my vote. Wonder how others feel? Hope they speak up.

[seabeyond]

7. gigglin... i love you. nt

[Hatchling]

11. That should be okay.

I requested it from my library. There are six hold on 10 copies (one is mine). It must be really good. I didn't expect so many people to be reading it since it was published in 1998.

As an aside: seabeyond is catching! I had to go back and Capitalize all my i's.

[seabeyond]

13. bah hahahah... iiiiiiiii'ze love it.

that is funny.

i am surprised too. i had better get on it and ask for a hold myself.

[MerryBlooms]

8. The 15th is good with me. My copy won't be here until the 5th ish.

Pat on the back, to you and Little Star. Thank you!

[Hatchling]

31. I picked up my book from the library today.

When do we start reading? I thought we started discussing the book on the 15th. How does this go? Enquiring minds want to know.

[seabeyond]

32. ya. cause i am seeing we are discussing tomorrow. so i think we need to read what? the first

chapter anyway.

i had better get on it

i am gonna have at least the first chapter read.

i dont know. i dont know how to do a book club. we need to be naggin on little star

[Little Star]

33. We can start discussing tomorrow after I get the thread put up. However..

everyone can discuss at their own pace. You'll see..

I will start reading tomorrow if my darn life can slow down just a bit. It's been wild around here so I am looking forward to some quiet reading time.

[hlthe2b]

36. Ditto here, Little Star... I may get a little time early tomorrow morning.

[seabeyond]

38. " early tomorrow morning" omg... what?

get up at 5 instead of 5:30?

lol

[hlthe2b]

39. Or maybe earlier....

Tallulah had me very well trained and I'm still waking up very early. Unfortunately, I'm sort of chicken about going out that early for a walk as I used to do with her, so I guess I can try to read the first chapter.

[seabeyond]

40. how are you doing?

does your house seem quiet? it was hard walking into the house when i first lost my dog. the engery and feel is still there.

sigh...

i hear ya.

[hlthe2b]

41. She had such a presence in the house, it does feel like she's still there sometimes...

In her last year of life, I knew she could go downhill quickly at any time, so I would jump out of bed to check on her, if she didn't come wake me first, always feeling that sense of relief when she would look up, seemingly fine. So, waking up is tough now... way too quiet. She was a herding dog, so sometimes I still feel as though I can sense her nudging and nuzzling my legs as she would do to get me going? And, I still find myself wanting to save a morsel of two of what I was eating for her, as I often would do.

Yes, it's pretty tough... Thanks for asking.

[seabeyond]

42. .

[seabeyond]

37. I am looking forward to some quiet reading time.

i hope you get it.

ha, i got my book.

[CrispyQ]

43. I started the book last night.

I had never heard of the 1000 white woman proposal before. I'm looking forward to the discussion!
