Carpe Librum ~ Book Club November

It's Book Club time! Since I lost my list of books, I'm going ahead with my plan for December in November instead. So, here it is a little early. Please come join Books for a Book Club #2 to give us books you'd like to read and see on upcoming Book Clubs.

Each month I will post 6 books for you to choose ONE to read for the Book Club for your swap (you certainly may choose more, but one is the minimum). I will post the books by the 1st of the month and sign ups will stay up through the 7th of that month. The send date will be the 6th of the following month. That will give you about a month to read, and 6 days to send out your swap. If the swap is not sent out on or before the 6th (please note any weekends and holidays and send prior to that) I won't allow you in the next months swap.

• Sign ups will be held the 1st through the 7th of each month
• One full month to read one chosen book
• send date will be the 6th of the following month

Any questions? Post below, PM me or ask in the group forum.

Onto the books. For November, we are doing a re-visit!! If you missed out on any of the books we read in the previous month, or thought you had a few you wanted to read but couldn't get around to them all, this is your chance to read something we read in the last 3 months. If you didn't join up the first time, this is the time to do so. 18 books to choose from this time, books we covered Aug, Sep & Oct, so choose ONE you didn't read and send a swap for previously, and read it this month!!

Here are your choices ~

Aug reads were ~

• Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath ~ Classic Lit
• Devil in the White City by Erik Larson ~ Non Fiction Historical
• Divergent by Veronica Roth ~ YA Dystopia
• Fault in our Stars by John Green ~ YA Romance

• Wicked by Gregory Maguire ~ Fantasy

Sep reads were ~

• Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle ~ Classics
• Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella ~ Chick Lit Humor

NOTE ~ I'll go one step further for more choices. IF you had already read multiple books from the list and don't have any others you are interested in, then you can also choose any other one book by these 18 authors. Just let your partner know, of course, what book you have chosen.

If the book I have chosen is part of a series, and you have read it, you MAY read the book in the series you are currently on. Just make a note to your partners that it is a part of the series of the one that is chosen.

After you read your book, write to you partner all about the book and please write at least two full size pages (8.5x10 or A4), by hand, or 1 FULL page (no big spacing, fonts or margins) if typed. Here are some questions that you can answer about the book to help you tell about it, please answer at least 4 (half) of the questions ~

• What was the book about?
• Did you like it, or dislike it?
• What was your favorite part or character, what was your least favorite?
• Have you read other books by the author, would you read more books by the author because of this book?
• Were there situations or characters that you identified with, and how?
• If you could change something about the book, what would it be and how would you change it?
• Did you like the book from the beginning or did it take a while for you to get into it?
• Would you ask the author a question if you could? What question would you ask?

No rating requirements, since it's in the group. Please send on or before the 6th. If I get on to assign partners at midnight on the 7th/8th and it wasn't sent, I won't allow that person in the current swap. Please sent on time! Don't forget to rate your partner when you have received your swap! It's the other half to the Swap-Bot transaction!
