Okay @bluejay ready set go!

@kate-flournoy I’m here. You want to go for an hour? That’s fine by me. 🙂

@daeus I won’t be able to do it this time as my Mum says Animal Farm is not for me quite yet. *one day…* Anyway I hope the first of many club talk/discussion goes well for you all who are doing it.

@dbhgodreigns and @everybody We can start as soon as everybody has their book. What do you all think? Is a week too short for everybody to get a copy? I think two weeks is the most we can wait.

@overcomer I’m so sorry about smashing your hopes. It’s my intention to do that as little as possible, but time is a big consideration. I’m not incredibly surprised that your sister disliked one of the author’s other books. I’ve never read any of his other books, but I know a little bit about him. People often mistake the purpose of Animal Farm…[Read more]

Okay, no sweat @Adry_grace. 🙂 Family’s more important.

@bluejay hahaha nope, I’m writing until 9:30 so you should be good! 😀

You can get a free audio version of the book here: https://archive.org/details/GeorgeOrwellsanimalFarmRadioAudio

You can get the ebook for 99c and should definitely be able to get the paper version from most libraries.

Awesomesauce @adry_grace! Let’s see if we can make it to 8:30, that all right with you?

@kate-flournoy I can’t be here till around 10:30 (8:30) will that be too late for you?

@overcomer it’s a political allegory— I absolutely loved it. Basically about a farm of animals who decide they’ve had enough with farmers and are going to set up their own democracy and live life fairly and equally… which devolves into utter chaos as the rules keep changing, and in the end… well… I won’t spoil it. It wasn’t a warm fuzzies…[Read more]

Okaaaaaay people, I need some help. My muse is asleep and I’m going to try and trick it into thinking its awake by utilizing a little friendly competition… @Daeus @bluejay @faithdk @anyone else…

@Daeus Yeah, that’s fine. I get why you did that. We probably would end up discussing the historical setting more than the quality of writing in the book, etc. 🙂

Hello everyone,

After some back-and-forthing, we have decided that Animal Farm will be the first book of our study. *Three cheers and confetti!*

Now I do have to make a confession. Animal Farm was actually the second most popular with The witch of blackbird pond leading by a slight majority. While I think The witch of blackbird pond was a good…[Read more]

@writefury @ingridrd and I finally did some Book Spine Poetry 🙂 🙂 🙂

@writefury I finally did some Book Spine Poetry 🙂 🙂 🙂

Oooh @writefury you’re back!! *jumps excitedly up and down on tiptoes, grins wickedly* come see what the President of the Cobalt Fan Club did with him!!!

Honestly, I think I murdered it. 😛

It would depend, I think. Assuming I was faced with such a problem without having bound myself in any way by promises to either party, my first thought would probably be ‘who do I know is ready to die?’ One: myself. Two: hopefully my family member. If both myself and the one person who would stand to die for the many are saved and ready to die, I…[Read more]
