Didn't we have one? I'm pretty sure the book of the month is Project Hail Mary.
(Anyway, I like the idea.)
Yes we did, but they kicked the old admin who was managing it.
I just noticed that the thread with the book selection is pinned on the sidebar. But the discussion isn't anywhere.
It is hard to get the controls midflight, and it's normal to lose some context. It would be really nice if the club run with fixed dates, pinned threads, etc.
Also, will there be a vote for the next book or are we going down the list (Children of time)? If we are going down the list, it may be good to put a limit on it and do another round of book selection later.
I'm up for whatever you guys like. But I think it makes sense to open a nomination thread then vote on the top 5 or 10 or something like that.
That's what I've done at !printsf@lemmy.ca but to be honest theur hasn't been a lot of engagement. Would be happy to run the one here if you'd like.
I'd love to have the help. Lets see if we can get something going for October (I know it's a little late)
I think if we sticky a thread for voting we can get something chosen to discuss by the end of the month. You want me to write it up and post it?
Hey my apologies, I have been dealing with some personal life stuff the last few days totally missed your message. Let's coordinate on a nomination post and voting for November, if you are interested. Also, please feel free to change/add to / completely rewrite the post I made for JDATE. Thank you so much for the help! If you are interested in mod duty we could use another person interested in contributing!
Oh I read that several months ago! It’s pretty entertaining!
