Polls

Hello, this poll for the group series read along is based on the suggestions from those of you who've posted in the "suggestions" thread. At this point, the plan is for us to decide on a series. Once the series is decided, we'll vote again on a start date of either August 15th, or Sept. 1st. The end date will be dependent up on which series is chosen. We'll have a folder dedicated to the series, and a thread for each book. Whether you're just starting the series, or already somewhere in the middle, you can read at your own pace, and comment in the appropriate thread. The hope is that by reading a series together, those of us who need it (especially me!), will finally have the motivation necessary to knock some of those books from our TBR piles. *more info soon*
