www.bookbrowse.com and www.bookmovement.com are both good resources, similar to goodreads.com, but with more emphasis on book clubs. Book Browse has a section on book club advice as well a list of weekly recommendations. Both websites allow you to peruse the site but to gain complete access, they require membership. Book Movement is free but Book Browse charges a fee after a one month free membership.
Peggy found a site that offers FREE audio books at www.bookshouldbefree.com. Are you saying to yourself that there must be a catch? It appears there really isn't a catch and the books are really free. While you won't find any books from the current best seller list, you will find many classics and older books. This would be a great way to catch up on all those books you feel you should read. The audio books might be be helpful to some of the high school students who are struggling with the books on their required reading list.
Lastly, Peggy discovered we are not the only Not Too Serious Book Club in existence! Our sister NTSBC is a program offered through the Midland, Michigan Library. In case you are curious, they have read such books as The Eyre Affair, The Time Traveler's Wife, Look Again, Cover Her Face and Mysterious Affair at Styles. Perhaps they'd like to check out our blog!
