On The Same Page discussion

Hi, everyone!


We've been considering some options to make the group more responsive to the members' reading habits.

One thing we've noticed is that the monthly reads don't draw a lot of comment. I can understand that - I'm a member of a number of groups that have group reads, and although many of them are on my TBR, it very seldom happens that they are books I intend to read that specific month.

On the other hand, we get a good number of nonfiction nominees for our quarterly read, and more commentary on them than the monthlies are getting.

So question: Regarding the monthly group reads, would you prefer

1) to have a poll for a genre instead of a specific book but keep it monthly,
2) have a specific book but do it on a quarterly basis,
3) make the monthly read both book-specific and reader-specific --in other words, each of us who participates would post a specific book we are planning to/committed to reading that month, but each member would choose his or her own book,
4) all three choices or
5) something else?

I'm putting up a poll to canvas the members about these options. If none of them work for you, please feel free to add suggestions below! The poll will remain open until December 15th to give the mods time to put up the winning option(s) starting in January 2024.

I like that, Amber, and I have a great big list of hundreds of characteristics that could keep us going in that vein for years. :)

I like Amber's idea!
