Twainy My input would be. Well, it‘s a book. With pages. And words. Next. 1y
TrishB 😂😂 somewhere between 1&2! With a few eye rolls. 1y
BiblioLitten 3!! Go for 3! 😄 1y

batsy 3...but the heart says 2 😂 1y
Amor4Libros Agree with @batsy 🤣🤣 1y
Bette Hmmm, toss up, but 2 sure would be fun to watch. 😆 1y
rabbitprincess Definitely the baked goods option 😄 1y
Bookwormjillk 3 with a few diplomatic points thrown in because someone might feel the same but is afraid to say it 1y
dabbe Totally with @batsy on this. Would LOVE to see #2 in action, though! 🤣🤣🤣 1y
Enchanted_Bibliophile I want to do 2... But as a hostess I'd prefer 3 🤷🏼♀️ 1y
Cinfhen I find the BEST discussions are usually when I/we politely disagree on a book, but of course it‘s after I‘ve enjoyed the baked goods and had my fill of wine 🍷❤️😉 Go For It, Reggie! Burn the place down with your wit and charm xx 1y
Cinfhen And #CuriousMinds want to know…what was the book???? 1y
RaeLovesToRead I have totally number 2-ed at several book clubs before. In fact, I can think of several books I'm STILL ANNOYED ABOUT! 🤣🤣🤣 1y
RaeLovesToRead Also, a 4th option... have you considered sharing your opinion through the medium of Puppets? "Well personally, I enjoyed the book, but Mr Snuggles has a few things to say..." (at this time, whip out a hand puppet and let rip. If anyone complains, look innocent and point at the puppet #bookclubtactics) 1y
RamsFan1963 While option #2 would be the most emotionally satisfying one, I'd probably go with #3 so it least I'd get fed and could keep my negativity to a minimum. 1y
Ruthiella Definitely the sock puppet option! 😂 1y
Susanita You can‘t do worse than an old guy in my mystery book club who walked into our 7:00 at 6:59. He threw the book on the table and said he hated it. The meeting went downhill from there. (I actually liked the book. 🤷🏻♀️) 1y
Susanita @Cinfhen I find that the best discussions are when nobody likes the book so we spend the meeting trashing it. 😎 1y
Jas16 I was in a book club with one of my best friends and we strongly disagree about almost every book so we rarely had a meeting where everyone agreed. I think that makes it more interesting and you should share how you really feel. 1y
CoverToCoverGirl My motto is there isn‘t any book that‘s to everyone‘s taste. Your views are your views. In a book club everyone‘s point of view should be appreciated… But I would certainly enjoy option 1 & 2. Now that would be a book club meeting to remember.. especially so it there was popcorn involved !🍿🤣 (edited) 1y
Cinfhen Oh the joys of bookclub @Susanita !!!! 1y
Reggie @TrishB @BiblioLitten @batsy @Amor4Libros @Bette @rabbitprincess @Bookwormjillk @dabbe @Enchanted_Bibliophile @Cinfhen @RaeLovesToRead @RamsFan1963 @Ruthiella @Susanita @Jas16 @CoverToCoverGirl Thanks for everyone‘s input. Turned out 6 out of 8 of us didn‘t care for the book. So whewww! 😅 1y
RaeLovesToRead What was the book? 1y
Reggie @RaeLovesToRead @Cinfhen the book was The Enchanted Hacienda. 1y
vivastory The most memorable #NYRBBookClub discussions for me were at the opposite ends of the spectrum: they were months when the vast majority loved the selection or the months when they hated it 1y
merelybookish I was hoping for an exciting report and am slightly disappointed to hear it was all quite civilized. 😂 1y
Bookzombie I quite like all three options and probably would pay to see #2 in action. I‘m glad your discussion went well though. 🙂 1y
sarahbarnes Would‘ve given a lot to see option 2! 😁 1y
Rissreads Aghh Reggie, isn‘t life wonderful! ♥️ 1y
Centique Oh my god i wish id seen this earlier and could have begged you to mske some drama. 😂😂 Perhaps next time you could say “im going to express my opinions in the form of interpretive dance” and then stomp all over the baked goods 😂😂 1y
Centique My only book club experience though (which i may have said already) was a bunch of very polite women lawyers who would grit their teeth about the book i chose and say “i just dont like books about people who make bad decisions” 🤯 1y
kspenmoll Seems like #2 is the winner! I agree with many here. There is more to discuss when people have divergent views. 1y
kspenmoll By the way, Happy Litsyversary!!! 7 yrs🎉🎉👏🏻 1y
