Welcome
Every avid reader, even occasional readers, have The List. It looms over us all. Every time we enter a book store or a library, a friend or stranger recommends a book, our book club recommends one, or we see a book anywhere; we are reminded of our List.
What is this List?
The possibly very long or even short list of books we want to read that have been recommended to us or have just sparked our interest. So often we find we can never accomplish reading our List. The problem is the List keeps growing.
What is The List Book Club About?
It is supposed to help people to accomplish some of the reading on their List. You don't have to read a required book; you read the book that's next on your List. By posting a little or possibly long blurb here about the book you will be reading next or have just finished, you are making a commitment to others that you will finish that book. The List Book Club's hope is to make you accountable to someone else, even if they possibly are a stranger, so you have to read that book and make your way through your List.

What Do I Contribute?
If you haven't started your book, yet, then just leave a little post stating which book, its author, and why you wanted to read the book. If you've finished a book from your list, post another entry. This time, sum it up. Comment on the book if you want. Then tell the world what book is next on your list along with its author and the reason why it's on your List. Comment on others posts. Don't be mean. Encourage them in their reading. The point is so help others get through their lists and expand your list as well while readings about books other people have on their list.
If you need an example a post, check out my first one. It's rough, but not disgusting.

What I FINALLY Finished: The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray
Seriously, I am pretty sure I have never taken so long to finish a book in my life.
One year later, it’s done. I did really like it though. The middle section felt really long, but that’s probably due to the fact that was when I stop reading it for eight months.
I liked the ending a lot and it made up for the fact that I forced my way through the middle section.My List:
~[Finish] The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray
I need to do it! I will not let myself start anything else until this is done!
~[Finish] In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan
I lent this to my mom and was never able to finish it.
~The Magicians by Lev Grossman
I read about twenty ages of this and am loving it. It’s a struggle to not read this right now.
~[Reread] Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix by J.K. Rowling
I have read books 1-4 ten times each, but the last three… not so much.
~[Reread] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
I knew I should reread the books when my friends complained about how the latest movie had been so different from the book and I had not even noticed.
~[Reread] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
I should probably reread this before the next movie.
~The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
Yet again another gift to myself that has been sitting on a shelf for far too long.Up Next on My List: In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan
Only 180 more pages! I am actually very excited to read this book. As a dancer, eating correctly for my body to perform at its best ability is very important to me.
