After a while of talking to members about books, i've decided to set up a book club,
This book club isn't one with deadlines for reading books, it's somewhere people can talk about books they've read and review them, so other people get some good idea's on what to read next.
Also there is a chatroom for general and book related chat.
It's started with this basic website thats still underway as i only started today, i'm aware this is a very slow loading website but overall it looks nice.
As this is unable to be accessed by mobile i've decided to set up a blogger account to go alongside to add book reviews too so you'll still be able to see them.

Any questions please don't hesitate in asking.
 
Sounds good to me too, though i am not on facebook so cant join in there..... i see you mentioned FB on your other thread in General chat.
 
I'm gonna ask everyone to email me or I'll message them so I can get a confirmed members list (:
 
UPDATE!

I've messaged alot of people that showed interest in the book club but realised not everyone has access to this function yet. I've been sending out the same letter to everyone so thought i'd paste it on here.

To get onto the members list please either message me or email me at

theres an underscore between neon and puddles (:

The blogger,

http://tgpfbookclub.blogspot.co.uk/

The blogger will be used so that people can still view the reviews made on books while on the go, and to also operate to a wider audience.

The Website,

http://www.wix.com/neon_puddles/tgpfbookclub

Here is where most of the action will take place, here you can submit reviews, (this can also be done through email) and also read and now even chat about reviews with the addition of a small chat room.
We will also hold polls on a book for the whole group to read and discuss. (Thanks to HyperHeavenly for the idea)

The Facebook,

http://www.facebook.com/groups/288037724610798/

This is for those who have Facebook as i know not everyone does, the group will be updated when new reviews have been uploaded as well as hold polls that are also available on the website.

The Newsletter,

To join the newsletter i will require email address or your permission to message you on the forum !
I will be sending out a newsletter (probably weekly of fortnightly) to inform book club members on what is happening, any polls, top reviews etc.


So now you know the basic parts of the book club it's time to explain a little bit more about what the book club is about ! our book club aims to give readers a place to share there thoughts and opinions on any book they've read. On top of this it also allows people to find some information on a good read and know what to keep there eyes open for when heading to the shops.

Submitting a book review is simple, just email me at,

[email protected]

here i will read through and then upload, the review format is simple

Name (TGPF Username + optional real name):
Book Title:
Author:
Review:

What to include in your review ?

What genre is the book ?
What audience does it suit?
What would you rate it out of 5 ?
Would you read again ?
Why do you reccomend ?

Don't forget to be informative about the book but don't give the storyline away people want to find out the ending for themselves !

Any more questions please don't hesitate in asking more information will be given out shortly.
 
I've just submitted a review but it is pretty detailed - hopefully not too much so! :)
 
NEW REVIEWS !
There's been alot more reviews posted recently, there are more on the blogger than website right now but that will be sorted shortly ! (:
 
The first newsletter will be going out tonight, If you'd like to be on the newsletter list please message me your email address or message me asking to send it via TGPF !

Thanks to everyone so far (:
 
Newsletters were sent out last night.
MISSING OUT ?
No need to worry, just message me with your email address and i can send you a copy and sign you up to the book club.
Many thanks the members we have so far !
