I actually got the idea on how to set it up from one of our dear friends in the fiction group, fadedrose. On DU2 she had set up a thread called "Fiction Book Series Authors (A-Z)".

boston bean copied that whole thread of fadedrose's over here to DU3 because it is such a valuable reference for us fiction readers. Here is a link to fadedrose's thread:

I liked the format fadedrose used so much, I thought it just might work for our book club. So in other words, I stole fadedrose's idea. But don't they say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery? Besides she is such a great person I know she wouldn't mind me using her original idea.

It does seem to be a good way to keep the whole book discussion in one thread, yes?

So thank you for the kind words dear friend.

a hug for both fadedrose and you.
