I want to start a homeschool blogger book club
Here's my idea. Bloggers tend to be people who like learning new things, and tend to be people who like writing about learning new things. Having a few bloggers reading and writing together about books would be interesting, no? Well as someone who loves books and blogs, I think it would be wonderful.
What I would like to do is to find a couple/few other interested homeschooling bloggers, pick a book and start reading in the next week or so. I will post a suggested reading schedule and maybe some discussion-starter questions. Participants would send me their links to their posts, and I would categorize them. Kind of like a blog carnival, only a blog book club carnival. I'm sure this is being done, but I can't find any examples of it so I'm kind of still working out the idea in my mind.
If anyone is interested, please let me know! Or, even if you're not interested, if you feel so inclined, please post some info about it on your blog to spread the word. I am a very new blogger and not too many people happen across my little speck of the blogosphere.
I think I would like to start with And the Skylark Sings with Me by David Albert. I've started and stopped reading it several times and would like to actually finish and ponder it at some point!

I’ve wanted to read that book too. I’ll post about it on the main page so all members will see it.
[…] Over at unbridled learning, she proposes just that. The first book up for consideration is “And the skylark sings with me“. Feel free to drop by and give some encouragement, suggestions and maybe even join in the reading. […]
Count me in!
I have been interested in reading this book for several years, since I always enjoy Albert’s articles. Excellent idea. 
We’re in the middle of moving into our first house right now but after the new year I definately want to do this too! Bookmarking your blog so I don’t lose it and forget.
I read the book this summer but would love to reread it in company, since I always learn more from a book that way. Great idea!
(There is something a bit like this going on with the Great Books Partnership http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?action=info&ring=GBRP but it’s different too since that one’s more about literature than homeschooling.)
Count me in, as long as I can figure out the logistics of it. I’ve already ordered the book, used, from Amazon. And I can’t wait to read it. Thanks for organising this!
Can I join in? I started reading that one a while back and loved it, but a little kick to read it again and actually finish it this time wouldn’t hurt at all.
have read this … excellent book, but would like to reread in company and reread having moved a few years down the line.
keep me posted when you start and I’ll try to get a copy from amazon for then.
I’m interested too, is it too late to join in? I already have the book and have read parts of it but never finished it. This sounds like a great opportunity to read it again AND here everyone else’s insights…
Thanks!!!
