We're going on hiatus

Hi everyone. We've made the decision to go on hiatus. We love this community and I personally have been grateful for all the book discussion it's brought into my life, but participation has been low for a long time now.

And the community has served its purpose by bringing book lovers together. I see so many of you on GoodReads, having lots of awesome discussions. So the spirit of beforetv will live on!

Thanks for everything.

Discussion Post: Something About You
arrow; hacking is such an ugly word

Hi, everyone! Today is our discussion of Something About You. I don't really have any specific questions, but what did you think of it? Did you like Cameron and Jack? What did you think of the supporting characters? How sad are you that this wasn't turned into a TV show (it was pitched to a few networks in the past)?

If you've already read the rest of the series, did you enjoy going back to the beginning? And if you haven't, are you interested in reading more?

It's ficathon time!

Okay, it is time for another beforetv ficathon!

Here are the rules:

1. The fic must be based on a book

That's all!

(Okay, but here are some guidelines. Prompts should be something like this: Fandom, Character/Couple, Prompt. Bold the title of your fill. Write everything. Reply to your own prompts. Reply to other people's prompts. Reply to prompts that have already been filled. HAVE FUN.)

Happy Saturday, boys and girls!

We have two weeks to go before we do our discussion of Julie Jame's Something About You, so I hope you're all excited for that. Our sort of sister community belovedbooks is talking about Madeleine L'Engle's Troubling a Star tomorrow if you're looking for something to read this Saturday. And finally, we are going to do a book ficathon on LJ next week, so start getting your prompts ready.

With all that said, let's talk books!

(Mirror entry on Goodreads is here.)

Hey all!

Here's your weekly discussion post. I think some of the active participants are off on vacation, so a vacation-themed question for you: Do you bring lots of books on vacation? Did you ever have to sit in the car with your legs straight out because the car floor was just THAT full of books? (Why didn't I have a Kindle 20 years ago?)

And, of course, fill us in on any books you want to talk about!

Happy Saturday, everyone!

I will edit in the GoodReads link when I figure out how to set up a thread over there (or until I make katayla do it for me), but until then, please use this for all your weekly book discussion needs.

Just a reminder, next Saturday will be our discussion of Kelley Armstrong's Bitten!
