Well, this club kind of died before it started. IDK how to run a club I guess. If you’ve given people comments for the club but haven’t gotten as many back, message me. I’ll review your story.

 Like I’ll literally give you the password and join as a member if you want. I’m not interested in running it anymore.

You’re free to take it over and do that if you want to.

@BookshelfBookClub I think the main reason is that it had no hold on its members. By hold I mean... something to make us feel committed to it. For example, the point system said more of.... "Read another members book if you want, don't read if you don't want to, don't worry, we can wait forever."  That didn't help anyone feel committed to it. Plus, the official members list was never updated so there was a lingering question of... "So how many points do we have to get exactly before we become official members?" And when someone gets up to seven points and the official list still isn't up then I think it starts to seem quite uninteresting and maybe a little bit like wasted effort especially when no one even checked out your book. 
          	  
          	  I also think that when there is an official list of members, then assignments should be given if not, it will die coz it will fell like... "I'll get to it some other time" which may become never. 
          	  
          	  So I think you should just review how you run the club, not give up on it. I thought it was a wonderful idea when I first read about it on the community but I guess it just needs some improvement. :)

Hi everyone! I've just posted an announcement in the club book. We're doing a promotion event this month only where you can get points in the club for reading and commenting on the books you would read and comment on anyway. Check out the book for details!

Hi everyone! I've got the prospective members' list updated. However, I'm unaware of how many points everyone has earned - I think I've added the points earned from commenting on my own story (Tidbits) but if you've commented on other people's stories in the club, please let me know how many chapters so I can credit you. Thanks!

Hey y’all! Sorry I haven’t had time to update the member list yet - I haven’t had time to get to a computer - but I should do it by the end of the week at worst. In the meantime, please check out the reading list on this profile while looking for books to read.
