Weekly Round-up for August 6, 2012.

The new site has been up and running just under a week now, and judging by the e-mails in the inbox, you guys are getting right down to adding reviews, updating links to your lists, and completing the Club Monthly Meme. We’re all so excited by the response to the new site! We hope that this will continue to be a place to come together to read the classics.

This is the first installment of the Club’s Weekly Round-up posts. Each week, I’ll be here to recap events from the previous week-including reviews, new members, and anything else going on here on the site. Hopefully, this will prove to be an easy way to keep track of new reviews by your fellow Clubbers!

Since the site just launched, we have a slew of reviews and new members to announce (which is awesome!). Everything will be linked up below, so make sure to visit our newest members to welcome them and check out the new reviews. I’m sure you’ll find more books to add to your TBR.

General Club News

The first Monthly Meme was launched on August 2! There are already a number of posts linked up! Check it out and feel free to write your own post to link up. You can participate at any time during the month of August, so if you need some time to think over your answer, you have plenty of it! You can find future topics here.

Adam of Roof Beam Reader is hosting Austen in August this month! Make sure to check it out, as he has some awesome giveaways and great guest posts coming up.

We are looking for nominations for our two new features-Classic Clubber of the Month and Featured Post of the Month. Know of a Clubber who has been rocking their list, or who is just a general inspiration to you? Nominate them by filling out this form. Or, did you run across an amazing post by a fellow Clubber that everyone needs to see? Make sure to nominate it by filling out that form. Both of these features will run every month, so you can continuously nominate!

We also want to make sure that you know if you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding anything to do with the Club or the new site, you can always contact the moderators.

The launch of the site also brought us quite a few new members. Please make sure to visit our newbies and welcome them to the Club! If you are interested in joining, you can find more information on our Join the Club page.

New Reviews by Members

In addition to linking up a lot of new members, we also had a lot of members submit links to posts they’ve written in the last few months (since the Club started). Some individuals hadn’t linked up before, so you will see multiple posts by some individuals. To link up posts, you need to fill out this quick little form. Additionally, if you want to see all the reviews submitted by Members, visit our Reviews Page!
