Hi Rafonauts
How are you all? Cracking on with the various challenges?
Sorry we admins have been a little silent of late. Real Life has been busy for all of us, I'm sure you understand, but we've also been having discussions about other things for the board.
Personally, I've been having a great deal of difficulty writing reviews. I've tried to review four different books recently and none of them have happened. It's a pain, but hopefully I'll be able to get something up soon. In the meantime, keep your reviews coming. They're great.
We'd like to do a Book Club soon, and your input would be useful. So please answer the following questions for me!
- Will you participate in a Book Club on this board?
- If yes, when's the best time of year for you? (I.e. when you've got the most time to read a book with a view to discussing it.)
- What do you think we should choose for our next Book Club event? (SF/F options, please.)
- Is there anything you think we could do to increase participation in our Book Clubs?
Thanks very much.

Those would be the two most likely books to generate some interest in regards to SF/F books. They are high profile, people are getting/reading/just finishing them now, and it wouldn't take too much effort for some to pose questions and get reactions.
I hesitate on committing to anything now that I'm working on a few projects in addition to my time-consuming main job, but I might participate. It takes greater reader awareness of the books under consideration to draw interest, so maybe if it were pitched that way?
