I've not been added yet, but am writing about Sidney Poitier's memoir "The Measure of A Man." I usually fail the Title test. Mine sound like film, book or play titles or famous quotes.
Linda, I absolutely love the idea and have been thinking about focusing on writing more intentionally about the books I'm reading. No joke, it has been top of mind for the past several weeks. I would welcome the opportunity to participate. A name? Nothing cutesy, maybe just something straightforward like Books for Life/Living, Reading Life...maybe I'll think of something better later, but those are my first thoughts. Your idea has me excited and fired up to get started!
Oh, Kathryn, I'm so happy to have you along for the ride. I'm excited about getting this going now. I'll come back and post the link when I have it ready.
Oh, I am SO going to take you up on that. lol. I just need to dive into the 5 wordpress support tickets I have open for a client and will set this up over the weekend. I will be in touch, that's a promise. :)
When I read your newsletter, I wish I could also meet you in person. It would be lovely to chat over a cup of warm tea and a slice of apple & cinnamon cake.
I like your idea and I'd love to be added as an editor/writer.
What about this name that, maybe, someone else may have already suggested?--Peek-a-Book!
You won my heart at apple and cinnamon cake. I will come back and send you the info to join us. It's going to be fun! That's a fun name, too. So many good suggestions, now the hard part is picking. lol
Hi, Linda, I am interested in a book review publication. Would published reviews be acceptable? I have a number of reviews that I've published on my blog (not Medium) that I had been thinking of putting on Medium. There are some great name suggestions in the comments. Good luck picking one :-)
The first name that comes to mind is "More than a Cover." Your writers write book reviews in a variety of styles and formats and, of course, you shouldn't just judge a book by its cover...unless you're illiterate.
Hey Linda! I'd love to be added to the publication once you're ready to add writers/editors. I recently finished listening to Picture of Dorian Grey and have SO many thoughts I'd love to share.
I'm assuming that the books need to be fictional? Or are you also open to non-fiction? I have lots of non-fiction books I'd love to write summaries about too.
Non-fiction is good too, Trevor. I plan to write about both, too. I will be sure you have the join page as soon as it's ready. Glad to have you join us. :)
oooh, I'm IN! I always write some kind of review/commentary on books I read and haven't yet found a good home for them. Maybe tags by genre to help readers find books they might be interested in? I've been an editor for several publications on Medium so am familiar with the process. It's a great idea to make all writers editors too.
Yay, Tree. I would be so happy to have you in there. What a great idea to use tags by genre. Now I need to look up popular genres since Medium only gives us a few tags. Any thoughts on tags to not miss?
I just read a memoir about Françoise Gilot, a 100 year old woman who lived with Picasso for 10 years. She's still alive today. A book by Michael Pollan, This is Your Mind on Plants, about Caffeine, Opium and Mescaline, and my favorite, The Beautiful Possible by Amy Gottlieb, it's fiction, and is a love story within a love story.
Oh, you have several you can start already. Me, too. I already have picked the first three to write. You can start on the drafts if you want. Then you'll be the early bird when I shout go. lol
Please consider me as one of the writer/editors of your new publication …since I read a lot!
Let me think about a possible title for this new adventure of yours. Nothing is popping into my aging brain at the moment. If something does pop in, I’ll I’ll be back.
Sara, lol. You don't want to know how long my TBR list is. I don't think I'll live long enough to get through it. I will be sure you have the info to join when it's ready. :)
Jerry, I'll be sure to make sure you get the info to join in. I started with no ideas for a name, now I have so many I don't know which to choose. lol. That's a great one, too!
I sure will, and will make sure you have contact info, too :)

You bet they're welcome - if it's about a book and you wrote it, it is very welcome! Looking forward to getting this going.
Hey Marie... Tada! https://medium.com/the-book-cafe/write-for-the-book-caf%C3%A9-9f14f1be3790
I went, I read, I loved it! Please count me in. I responded to your call for writers :-)
The first name that comes to mind is "More than a Cover." Your writers write book reviews in a variety of styles and formats and, of course, you shouldn't just judge a book by its cover...unless you're illiterate.
Thanks, Harry. So many great suggestions that picking one is hard. lol

Yes, I'm interested in joining as an editor/writer. As for titles... how about 'How to Scale a TBR List'?
Sara, lol. You don't want to know how long my TBR list is. I don't think I'll live long enough to get through it. I will be sure you have the info to join when it's ready. :)
How about 'TBR List Inflation.' Because I'm sure that's what the publication will do, it will inflate the size of all our TBR lists ;)
LMAO. Yes, you're probably right.
Tada! https://medium.com/the-book-cafe/write-for-the-book-caf%C3%A9-9f14f1be3790
Hi, Linda. I would like to participate in your new book review publication. As for names. how about Talking about Books.
