MR Book Club

[jhale]

thanks, i thought something was wrong with my browser.

 

[LeslieS]

Yes, it looks strange to me as well. I do not see any avatars and initially, I couldn't open anything except the first post.

I already have this book, and ordered the big Sprung Volume 3 book. All my tanks money is also going to books

FYI Christine and Anthony are now engaged.

Christine has offered us a copy of his new book on coral propogation when it comes out later this year. If we like it, we can do a group buy. This might be one that the more advanced members will really like.

whao i'm excited...so when and where's the first meeting?
my book arrives tuesday.

 

[LeslieS]

Hey Froggie,

The first thread will start on March 11th. We will start with the foreword and intro.

 

[bad coffee]

this is funky. i'll send a pm to Josh to take a look at it.

 

[Josh]

Working on fixing that!

The forum display issue has been resolved.

 

[MightyMike]

There's no cabbage-patch-dance icon, but I'm doing it to celebrate the arrival of my book. This will suffice. :sgrin:

This is the e-mail that I am going to send to Bob Fenner to let him know we will be reviewing his book. Are there any suggestions?

Hello Mr. Fenner,
The Manhattan Reefs Book Club will be reviewing The Conscientous Marine Aquarist beginning with the introduction on March 11th.
We will post a new thread for each chapter on Sunday nights. As a book club, we strive for shared learning and motivation to learn through discussion and accountability to the group.
You are welcome to peek in (lurk), join any discussion you like, or completely ignore the threads

Thanks and Best Regards,

It looks cleaner in e-mail.

 

[digitalreefer]

Looks good Leslie... it would be great to have the author involved in the books we're reading... although, I think "discussing" would be a better description of what we're doing (rather than "reviewing"). Just my opinion.

 

[Quang]

Looks good Leslie. If I was to write it, I'll just add/adjust the following items:

But if that takes anything away from your intended message, please disregard my post.

 

[Josh]

BTW, we now have a book club post icon.

See above my post.

 

[ellebelle]

Looks good to me Leslie!

 

[LeslieS]

Thanks Guys, I am going with the froggie version. Thanks for editing, Q.

 

[PalmTree]

[Quang]
