Hey ladies. I wanted to check in with you and get your thoughts about continuing the monthly book club challenges. The participation has been low and I wonder if you could all take a moment and answer a few questions to help us decide on how to proceed with this.

1. Are you reading the book but not interested or have time for the challenge?

2. Does the time frame influence your decision at all? Challenges run from the 20th for a month. Would you prefer starting on the 1st and running it month by month instead? That would allow for extra time to read the book as the challenge would be based on the previous month's book.

3. Are there any ideas/suggestions you would like to share?

I would appreciate hearing from you all. Thx for taking the time to reply to this.
 
As I have on been participating a couple of months... when I saw you posted a winner I had to take a second look as to when the challenge ended. I would have thought it ended at the end of the month. Maybe....
I haven't had time or motivation this month to do a "friends" page... well because I haven't been out with a friend in a while.
Sorry, not much of an opinion.
 
I haven't read the last book, or maybe two.. I've lost track now. But I would personally do better with the month to month on the previous month's book, because that would be easier to remember. But that's just me. I don't think I've participated in a book challenge this year. I've thought the challenges were very thought provoking and am hoping to actually remember to participate one of these months!
 
Sorry, I have not taken part in one of the Book Challenges. I agree with Elynnia that it would be good to run the normal month not from a date later in the month, and be about the book from the previous month as sometimes I do not get the book finished until the next month.
 
It seems like month to month would work well for our members. I hope this generates more participation and interest. It's a lot of fun to see how the book prompt generates a page design and I'm enjoying it, so hope more of you join in too and have fun with it.

I'm going to start the next challenge on May 1 until month end, based on April's book. I think this keeps it easier to follow.

Stay tuned for my challenge to be posted next Friday, May 1st.

Any other thoughts or ideas are appreciated.
 
I am a bit behind with the April book, too much going on with the pandemic as I am an essential worker. Juggling working from home and the office is quite the chore. Then...Survivor came and here we are at April 30th! IHope to settle down this week and finish the book. I prefer to stay with month to month as well. :)
 
I'm new to the book club, this will be my first month participating so don't have much insight. I do agree that running from 1-30th in the month is always easier to remember.
 
Thx for your input everyone. I'm a bit behind b/c of the iNSD stuff going on but the new challenge will go up later today and will run month to month now. I appreciate your comments.
