Well the list of book proposers we have so far are:
DavidS
JohnSweden
billytea
If nobody else volunteers I suggest these choose our next three selections.
Dreg: Glory, Your Most Fresh-And-Cleanness. It's only a matter of time-- Glory: Ugh, everything always takes time! What about my time? Does anyone appreciate I'm on a schedule here?! Tick tock, Dreg! Tick freakin' tock!

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.

Those pickers are good with me.
billytea, is there a time you'll be not-too-available, with your antipodean move, and everything?
I'm sorry I haven't gotten to participate as much as I wanted. When the school year revved up, my schedule exploded. When I read, I pass out.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yay, new selectors!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billytea, is there a time you'll be not-too-available, with your antipodean move, and everything?
Yep. But I can work around it, I reckon.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sounds good to me.

Because books.
I'm sorry I haven't gotten to participate as much as I wanted.
Cindy is me. Between a deadline that's creeping up on me like very quickly-creeping crud, and the kids, reading is this dimly remembered luxury that I sometimes indulge in for the two minutes before I crash at night. I'm still not done with Asher. (Hangs head and slinks away...)

(Neither am I, AmyLiz, and I think my copy is overdue. I'm not looking at that, until tomorrow. The sad thing? I love Potok, and love what I've read of Asher, so far. The first book didn't interest me all that much, so when I didn't get to it, I didn't mind. This is killing me in a having everyone's-a-half-season ahead of me-watching-Buffy, when-I have-the-tapes, kind of killing me way.)

Twice now I've gotten caught up in RL stuff in the week before we start and spent the bulk of the discussion racing to finish and resisting the urge to read the discussion. I'm about half-way through Small World so I should actually be able to participate this time. It's been fun reading the discussion even after the fact, though.

I'm Cindy and AmyLiz, only without children, a new school year, or writing deadlines. Geez, I'm lame (er, because I can't get the books done in time, not because of not having those things). But! I am also brenda in enjoying reading the discussion anyway and in anticipating participating in the Small World discussion.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'd really like to be a selector, but I don't think I can participate actively for a little while. Can I be an alternate?
