Rating our Books =)
Posted in on 9:54 PM by Escape To Read
Here is a little example I found for rating the books we read:
Blah
1 Stars
A book we just really couldn't get into no matter how hard we tried.
It Was Okay
2 Stars
It Was Okay means exactly what it says - the book was only okay, nothing very special about it.
A Good Read
3 Stars
A Good Read is a book that we enjoyed reading. We won't put it on our personal top 5 list but we'd recommend it in the right situation.
Almost Fabulous
4 Stars
Almost Fabulous means we really liked this book for many reasons and it came close to receiving 5 stars, but fell a little short.
Fabulous!
5 Stars
Fabulous! is Fabulous! We loved it!

On choosing a book....
Posted in on 9:37 PM by Escape To Read
First off we'll go in alphabetical order by our 1st names for choosing books if that sounds good...so Cindy Davis will be 1st!
OK I found a great website about book clubs and this was some good tidbits on choosing a book that I thought I'd share!
The bottom line is this - you CAN'T please everyone!
So what can you do? Take into consideration the interests of your group. Do this by:
Looking at a bestseller list.
Asking for a recommendation.
Check out these recommendation lists:

Whatever way you go about finding a book you should keep in mind that you want to choose not only a book that you want to read but a book that you want to talk to other people about.
You can be original in your selection. Just be sure not to go so far in your own direction that nobody follows you! For example, unless your group is really ambitious War and Peace probably isn't the best choice!
