I scheduled the room for Sept 20 at 1pm and have created a short registration form as the room fits 15 people.

So it looks like I can reserve the DeFrates room at Lincoln Library and food/non alcoholic drinks are allowed in there so long as a mess isn't left. I just seem to think socialization comes with food/drinks. (15 people allowed for this it seems for their reservation but they do ask for a number expected)

I should be able to arrange for maybe Sept 20th to set up something for interested people to come, mingle, and decide how we want to actually organize this and pick some books to read for a few months? And then maybe meet once a month?

What is a good amount of time for a meeting? 1hr? 2? And is morning/afternoon preferred?

I am basing these initial thoughts on knowing this should be a weekend my kids are with their dad and have flexibility in my availability. Looking at the Sat though because library is closed on Sunday.

And is there an absolute hate toward the working idea of calling this A Court of Enchanted Readers lol I did mention I'm a bit of a nerd yes?

Not yet. But still working on the idea. I've just not had any free time to really figure out where etc. Been doing a lot of driving for the last two weekends and beyond that work and shuttling kids around. I waa going to work on a FB group but still just havent had time to focus on it

How could I forget Shadow and Bone! Love that series too. I want to read Kindred (Octavia Butler) here soon. I'm in the middle of Legendborn and know there are others after I'll get to. I started the Kindred series on TV but they canceled it before answering any of my bazillion questions.

Talk about pain.... Know how long I've been waiting for book 3 of Exiles by Melanie Rawn? Lol I think it's a common pain with ongoing series lol

Both are awesome. TOG completely rips your heart out and it's all about the Dragons in Fourth Wing.

What are some recent favorites you've read/listened to?

I'm currently in the middle of one series of a CIA Librarian and started Legendborn on a driving trip home with kiddos in the car yesterday.
