Hi everyone It would be about now, mid-way through the month prior to the start of the Quarter, that I would find a message in my RiSi inbox from Mrs Mac, poking me about when the next book would be revealed .. Adelyne adelynechan had kindly volunteered to take a turn, and she has let me know the Book she has chosen for us, however .. as we are embracing our Remembrance Reads, do we want to also have a group read for Q4, or should we postpone and start afresh next year ?? Also, we've not held a Zoom meeting regarding the Quarterly read, to have a face to face discussion, so maybe that'll be another idea going forwards into next Year .. Poll will run until next weekend, to give everyone time to vote .. ** For those who have rejoined the Forums, each Quarter a Book is chosen for a Group Read and a thread is opened up for comments / discussion - a bit like a regular Book Club, except you have a whole 3 months to read the Book and add your review .. ** I am also looking for Volunteers for 2021, so please also express your interest below

Just dropping in to say I've seen this, but will be abstaining from the current vote as, well, it was my book choice and it feels a bit strange. If we go ahead with the current one for Q4 (seems unlikely at this time), I'd be happy to take a turn again late 2021.

I don't have any strong feelings either way. Will be happy with whatever is decided. Haven't read the book for this quarter yet, and it was me that picked it!!

I also don't have any feelings one way or the other so am happy to go with the majority as I only join in if the book is on my shelf, kindle or wishlist

If you don't have enough volunteers, I would like to might give me a kick up the butt to read!

The Poll has now closed, so although there were only a few votes, the decision is that we will restart the Quarterly Reads in January next year .. The Volunteers to choose are .. Adelyne Treez Emma one more and we've got the whole year covered ..

Hello everyone .. Thank you so much to everyone who suggested a Book for the Quarterly Book Club this year & to all of you who joined in with reading them, whether during the suggested Quarter, or indeed afterwards .. Although we are hitting another lockdown, I still feel it is worthwhile launching our Quarter 1 2021 Book choice .. I am just messaging adelynechan to confirm whether her previous choice has changed or not, so watch out for a new thread in the next couple of days .. We do have two more 'Volunteers' so just one more needed for Q4 .. you'll have plenty of time to find something suitable / festive ..
