I've been asked to lead a book klub discussion, which I'd love to do. Since I have three books out, I thought I'd get an idea from people about which book they'd like to discuss with me, The Ark, The Palmyra Impact, or The Adamas Blueprint.
Please chime in if you'd like to participate and give me your vote on which book we should discuss.
Thanks,
Boyd

I would be happy with any of the three.
I went to Amazon and read the synopsis of each and they all sound exciting.
So let the majority choose and I will go along.

I would like to read either The Ark or The Palmyra Impact. I am reading The Adamas Blueprint now and I would like to do a book klub with a book I hadn't read before.

I have read all three now but would be interested in the discussions folks had on them. So I am up for any of them. The Ark could create some rather interesting discussions.

I have also read all three and haven't been involved in a Book Klub before. Any one of them would be worth re-reading and discussing with Boyd and everyone else.

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

I just bought The Adamas Blueprint, so I vote for it, but I could do any of the three.
*waves arms enthusiastically*
This is so exciting! I haven't ever been part of a book club before!!

I have them all but haven't started any of them yet (The Ark was on deck but I'll wait now  ), so I'm open to whichever! EllenR |

I think any three would be great. I've read The Ark so far and I'm about 1/4 the way through The Palmyra Impact. BTW...left you a review for The Ark :-))

The synopsis I read on all three books made me want to buy all three immediately!! Doesn't matter which book we start with unless there is some
sequence to the books. When will the fun begin???

Thanks, Chynared21, for the wonderful Amazon review! And thanks to everyone for reading my books. I've been overwhelmed by the response I've gotten from the members of Kindleboards.
Let's read The Ark. I think it offers some interesting discussion topics. The book is 73 chapters, including the prologue. How should we break up the weekly reading schedule?
I should find out by the end of the week when the Book Klub will start. I'm looking forward to it!
Cheers,
Boyd

Boyd,
This will be my first, so I have no thoughts on the amount of reading.
I have read Jeff Hepple's book in less than a week.
So whatever pace you want.

They all sounded good with great reviews so I just bought all three. I'm just finishing up on a book now and will read The Ark next. Looking forward to the bookclub.

I've read the Adamas Blueprint and am partway through The Ark. I suspect I'll be reading your third book shortly.

Just finished The Adamas Blueprint and really enjoyed it. Haven't been involved with a book club before. Since I have already purchased all three, due to the wonderful recommendations, it looks like I will be joining everyone reading The Ark.

In case you didn't see it in the other thread, I wanted to let you know about the meet and greet chat that Linda set up. Hope to meet you there!
Date: 04/25/09
Time: 7 PM CST/ 5 PM PDT
Location: Chat
Please bring a cup of tea or beverage of your choice, take a seat and meet author Boyd Morrison. Boyd has agreed to lead a book klub beginning May 1 on his popular book The Ark. This will give you a chance to get to know him better prior to the book klub and an opportune time for him to meet some of the people here at KB who enjoy his books. This will be an informal, fun and informative chat.
Hope to see you there!
Linda
