Cheryl (cherylllr) I'm seeing very few nominations each month. Do we really have that few active members?

Do people not care what we read? (Maybe I should just pick the book that I want to read next?)

Is the request that if you nominate a book, and your book wins, that you get to lead the discussion, seen as too onerous? (If I pick the book, I can lead....)

Would you like to see more activity, and if so, how do you think we could increase it? If not, please be honest.

Heather(Gibby) (heather-gibby) | 469 comments Although I enjoy the time travel genre, I dont neccessarily want to read one each and every month, I probably participate in the discussion about once every three months.

at one time we had each book discussion last two months instead of one, That might be an idea to go back to if interest is lagging.

Personally I dont mind leading a discussion if I nominate a book taht is chosen.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 124 comments I think this group is a valuable addition to Goodreads and the fact that I don't appear to participate in things like choosing a book to read is purely because I don't have time to take part adequately - I'm too busy writing. However, I hope others will be able to choose and participate or even lead.


message 4: by Deborah (new)

Deborah | 36 comments I don't reread and sometimes I'm reluctant to recommend a book I haven't read. I'll try to think of something I want to read that I can nominate, but it may not be soon because I'm busy planning a trip and helping gather addresses for my class reunion.

I run another book club, plus I run a film convention, have a husband and two kids, and a full time job. Reading is my escape in the small amount of leisure time I get. I am not always able to join in, even when I want to. I always liked that this group was available if I wanted to participate but I didn't feel like I had to. If the expectation is that when we nominate a book that gets chosen, we have to lead the discussion, I won't be nominating any more books. I can't make that commitment.

Stretching reads out over two months would be helpful for me to be able to participate. I'm still waiting for Sea of Tranquility to come from the library.


message 6: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) Just to be clear, nobody has to participate. I just want to know if people want more reasons to do so, or for it to be easier for them.

Sounds like I should help us plan further ahead, and maybe not choose newer books that have longer holds, too.
