    I've requested this book at library but it will be next week before it comes in. Was the consensus for every 2nd or 3rd Friday?

    I think I only saw a vote for two weeks but if I need to extend it to three I will.

    I got mine and started it. I like that it caught my attention right away. I hate slow building books!

    Book didn't come in today. Courier comes back to library on Friday. It will be after holiday before I can start it. Hopefully it will be a quick read. Looking forward to it because had it not been for this book club I probably never would have been interested in reading this particular title.

    Can I make a suggestion that may help those of us getting books through our libraries? Can we select the upcoming book, so we can request it in a timely manner?

    I could always post the week before the start date? Or you all could vote on the next one and votes have to be in the Wednesday before. I definitely think that would be better as I can't get the Night Circus from my library either physical copy or Kindle copy so I am going to have to wait.

    I want to add The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks to the suggestion list. I just received it in a early birthday gift. I know its a movie but the books are always better!

    I am good with you picking one a week before. I couldn't get Night Circus from my library either. I ended up buying it

    I'm still waiting for library to call about Night Circus. It was supposed to be returned this week, but it hasn't. From now on I am going to get better about returning books on time. I learned my lesson. I will go ahead and order the next book from the library.
    When are we to have Night Circus read by?

    Ooh the next choice looks great! It's only in hardback in the UK though, I don't think I can afford that....

    Sorry I will be skipping The Splendor of Silence. I have had it for a week and I am only 70 or so pages in. I feel like I am forcing myself to read it. I read for enjoyment, I don't want to have to work at it. I will be checking for the next selection. 9/14?

    I understand that life is too short to read books that do not appeal to you, still I hope others do not give up on this book. It was recommended to me and I am loving it so far. The story is intriguing and not too much is given away so the reader is drawn in deeper to learn more.
