I started the book two days ago and finished it last night. I told my friend cathy about it (she posts in Natter and Music sometimes) and she wants to borrow my copy so she can join in the fun.
Don't I get a cookie?

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Somehow I missed this about Asher Lev. I looked on amazon but they have My Name is Asher Lev listed....can I get some more info on this?

Did we agree on a deadline for it yet?
Did we consense your suggestion? If so, it'd be 8/31 for the reading deadline and 9/15 for the discussion deadline (unless, at some point after 8/31, we group decide to begin the Asher Lev before 9/15), yes? But I'm not sure your plan was ingrained enough so that people have enough time on this round to make the reading deadline. Or, I could be remembering wrong. Hmmm ... it occurrs to me now to check Lilty's first thread post, since that's where the updates go in-thread ...
ETA: Nope, nothing there.
And also, is it time to pick book #3 ... that's brenda's choice, yes? Again, if I'm remembering right.

Yup. Which I've chosen, but haven't put together a post about yet. I'll post it this weekend, before we get into discussion time.

I don't think the plan was ingrained or accepted, and at this point I think we should just go the one book a month route. If we see there's significant dead time we can always integrate the plan for future books.
So here's a question for consensing: Should we set the reading and discussion deadline for My Name is Asher Lev for September 15, 2004, which is a Wednesday, or should we try to start all discussion periods at the beginning of a week like a Sunday or Monday? I personally think that starting discussions on a Monday would make the most sense (giving people that extra weekend day to cram in the reading).

I like Monday as a start day. But I'm ready whenever.

Also liking Monday for start dates.
