Bookdeyada!

[laliandra]

So, I am home for a weeks holiday on the Isle of Man. It's fairly lovely, I went to a wind orchestra concert and out for teas and lunches and such. I'm staying with my Granny and my Great Aunt, who are both, in the grand tradition of my family, crazy-awesome. Also their cat Alfie who is the least subtle cat in all the world. He likes to drape himself across my lap and demand stomach skritching. It's pretty good.

Anyway, I have been supposed to post about this for ages but my internet access here is limited and I have been distracted by trying to write make out scenes (ARGHARD). But I digress from the matter at hand, which is that I have exciting news!

So, books are great, right? And talking about books is great, and the internet is great and fandom, fandom is fantastic. Well, the lovely brimtoast and a couple of other equally lovely people (and myself) decided that the only way to make these things even better would be to combine them all.

So, we present bookdeyada , a fandom book club! And you should all come play with us! We are going to read abook a month and I loooooooove talking books with y'all and it's going to be SO MUCH FUN.

And yes it is called bookdeyada mainly for my own amusement (and hopefully the amusement of others).

You can go now and nominate a book for April. So, you should totally do that, or just wait for a decision and then join in the discussion. You don't need to be all Literary Criticism about it, you can just read the book and go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! with other people. Just, book clubs are so much fun, but it isn't possible for everyone to get to a real life one . And in this book club you can compare characters to Remus from the Shoebox project or talk about slash and canon vs fanon and shipping, because it's a fandom book club. How cool is that?! I am excited! I don't know if the exclamation marks made this clear enough!

GO! THE POWER OF LAL COMPELS YOU! ADD US A FRIEND! NOMINATE A BOOK! READ THE SUPER COOL INTRO!

Or you can ask me questions first. But I recommend doing BOTH. Then come tell me all about how you have joined and how awesome it is going to be!

bookdeyada , bookdeyada , bookdeyada , bookdeyada !

YAY! What a fantastic idea! I'm adding right now. I may be a very silent member, as I'm going through my usual spring!depression!fail and everything I do is soooo sloooow, but perhaps it will go away soonest. Comparing characters to Shoebox Remus is a must, anyway, so. :)
You are awesome. &hearts

Bookdeyada is an extremely awesome title! I don't know if I will join yet because such a book club would prompt me to buy many books and I can absolutely not afford this at the moment! And I would probably participate very irregularly anyway. :( Or something.

But: YAY. And also: LAL. <3

Now when people go 'why do you know all these people on the internet?' and I go 'it's.. um...a sort of.. book club..?' it WON'T BE A LIE
