Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Are you all currently reading a book for the book club? I didn't know if there was a book a few of you Moms were reading! Thanks! :)

There is a comic book that was adapted from a short story. The case I am thinking of is The Wood Boy - The Burning Man. The stories were adapted by Sean J. Jordan (according to here into comic book form but the original stories were written by Feist and Williams respectively. This issue might be more straight forward as worldcat lists et. al. as the authors and it might be easier to just list the stories authors. However, there are probably other graphic novels that are adapted. I vote that the adapter gets top billing and put the author of the story the comic was based on second but I wanted some input.

A clearer example is Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere as it does not say Neil Gaiman is the author of the graphic novel.

I have generally seen the adapter listed as the primary author, and that makes the most sense to me.

Agreed. It also avoids the "graphic novel accidentally combined with original book" issue that we've had.

I've already read Labyrinth (I have been suggesting it for a few months!) so I need to choose another... I TOTALLY missed the past 2 months' book club books... just never got to them! The last club selection I read was "Running With Scissors" so that tells you how out of touch I've been! Which one(s) are you interested in? I haven's picked yet!

I have fixed so many of those with Neil Gaiman. Bleh.

So, I just have to find who adapted The Burning Man. Hmmm.

I was not a fan of Burroughs Running with Scissors. I even tried to watch the movie and give it a shot, but never made it through. Sorry!

I didn't love it either, but I plowed through... now I need to get on with more current club selections!

I have so many books on my bookshelf to read!!! The list goes on and on and on and on! I LOVE TO READ so I pick up all sorts of books and say, yeah, someday I will get to that book. But since the kids are getting a little older (5, 4 and 19 months old!) I TRY to find some time to read... I just picked up The History of Love by Nicole Krauss this past week.
I have been reading Love Walked In, The Other Boleyn Girl, Wicked,and a few others for book clubs I am in. I am in the middle of so many books right now! :) Somehow I am able to do that. I think it comes from my college days as an English Lit. major! :) Hope to chat again soon! :)

What is everyone else reading?

I am not currently reading any of the book club selections. I have Blood Orange in my TBR pile, but I just dont have an modication to read anything right now.

Currently I'm working through one of the CSI based books- In Extremis.

haven't been able to read any of the books in the group since joining.Too many series books and other stuff getting in the way.But i am going to read Blood Orange i saw it at the Walmart a few weeks ago and then requested at my library.It's now in and then i find out it a selection at cafemom.Whoo hoo i'l finally be able to discuss something yeah.
Currently finished Change of Heart and almost done with Carrot Cake Murder.Left it a neighbors house no have nothing to read.So I picked up Twilight that has been sitting here for awhile.

I haven't read too many. I wish I could read more of the selections however, many of the ones being chosen I have already read or am just not interested. However, I will keep on trying.

I am reading Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler. Very funny and is the perfect way to end a tiring day.
I am also reading Ninetten Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I had a hard time getting into it, then got to the point where I couldn't put it down, and now that I have put it down, I haven't picked it up to finish it.

I loved The Other Boleyn Girl and also Nineteen Minutes.

I just added Are you there Vodka to my list as it looks like a fun read.

Next up for me is a Karen Kingsbury series I got around January and saved for now!

Started Blood Orange and I have to say so far it is very interesting.I think it's going to be a very good read.

I'm not reading any of the Cafe Mom book club selections this time. None of them interested me much this time so I was just picking books off of my TBR list. I am reading "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon right now and "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is up next.

I you like Outlander or the Pillars of the Earth you'll probably like Labyrinth too!

Labyrinth is on my to-read list... I picked that up a while ago. I hope to read that soon! I just picked up The Last Summer of You and Me this past week... looks good!

Just about finished Blood Orange and I must say it wasn't bad.Alot of stuff going on in it.

I am just starting The Historian....has anyone read it? I just finished a few, including Monstrum, which I liked quite a bit.....

Right now I read alot of text books for school... children's books... but when I get a hint of free time and want to snuggle up with a book I'm also reading people of the Moon, By katherine and michael gear.

I read The Historian a few years ago... I enjoyed it and passed it on to my grandmother who wouldn't have picked a "vampire" book for herself but who enjoyed it too!

I am enjoying it so far! Thanks for the feedback

Donna I read The Historian a year or two ago and i really liked it.I didn't think I would because i'm not reall a history person but this book really interested me.It's long and most people didn't care fir it.

I finished it last week and have to say I really enjoyed it. I thought the last few pages were kind of odd - maybe I missed something there in terms of her intent...I am reading Middlesex now and love it so far.....

Reading Odd Thomas now.

Just about to begin "Loving Frank" by Nancy Horan

I'm about to finish Driving Sideways by Jess Riley. I'm really enjoying it and it seems a good book to end summer with. I'm going to start The Shack next.

im currently reading Two For the Dough. i recently started the stephanie plum series and i love it so far! looking forward to the other 12!

I am reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris and Eclpise by Stephanie Meyer.

I have started reading the Book Club by Mary Alice Monroe. Haven't gotten far into it but her other books were good.

I have The Book Club on my to read list. I got it over the summer... let us know if you liked it.

I just started American Pastoral by Philip Roth, my new favorite author. I also just read The Human Stain which was amazing and Indignation by Roth.

Oh! That sounds good. I like the Time Traveler's Wife. I should look that one up! Sounds good.

I just got The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb. Hope to start that this week.

I really liked The Book Club by Mary Alice Monroe. So enjoyable.
Right now, I am reading Dewey by Vicki Myron. That was one of my Christmas presents. Actually, I picked it out by I waited for 2 whole months to read it!

I am reading The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent

Now, I'm reading Sail by James Patterson.

Today, I'm start readingEmpire Falls

I'm reading grave sight by charlaine harris and listening to cross ocuntry by james patterson on cd

im starting lovely bones.

I read Lovely Bones a couple years ago. It was quite good but sorta strange. Depressing sometimes also. At times, it reminded me of a time travel book. The author would take us into the past & all of a sudden, she'd take us into the here and now. I had to read a fluff book afterwards.
