From Amazon: “I’ve left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page. If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.†So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions? |
| From Amazon: The weather outside is frightful, but these stories are delightful! When a huge blizzard (that doesn’t show signs of stopping) hits, Gracetown is completely snowed in. But even though it’s cold outside, things are heating up inside, proving that the holiday season is magical when it comes to love. In three wonderfully (and hilariously!) interconnected tales, YA stars John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson create a must-have collection that captures all the spirit of the holiday season. |  |
Last month’s book — Eleanor & Park — was excellent.
I picked Let It Snow and Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares because I was looking for something fun and wintery and holiday-ish and they seemed to fit the bill and seem like a nice way to end the year!
So here’s the plan as always!
1. Read the books!
2. Post about it on the internet*
3. Link me to your post in the comments here
4. I’ll do a round-up post on NEXT MONTH 1st-ish and announce the next book
5. We can have a casual-ass comment party about the book
6. REPEAT
Your site, Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress, even Twitter is fine! (Just Storify and link!) Whatever works for you!
This is a very casual, kick-back, low-expectations, low-effort deal! I just like the idea of reading the same book and then hearing what people think about it. That’s literally it. FUN, YES?! Good.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep up The Casual-Ass Internet Book Club next year, so if you have suggestions for the next book, shout ’em out! Especially if there are new releases you’re looking forward to, I’m terrible at being current. I’d appreciate if it was available on Kindle, but that’s the only requirement.
Share this with people if you do it! Tell me if you’re going to do it! Tell everyone!
*Even if you don’t get the book finished and posted about by the end of the month in which we’re reading it, do it and link me anyway! I will add it to the round-up post no matter how late it is and you know I always want to talk about things I’ve read!
