Is this being given priority over suggestions for other message boards |

No, not at all Glitter Baby. If you do have any suggestions for other message boards please add them to the Suggestions board for Natasha to collate. I'd rather it be added there than lost in this thread. |

Was posted on Suggestions board nearly a year ago and ignored which is why I asked the question. |

Gardening, crafts, religion, bird watching, current news and other topics are also really popular. |

As reading taste is very individual, surely there enough book suggestions in the media already. Most bookshops have one, there is Richard and Judy also. Its just that is there really any need for anymore.? There is also a thread on here already for opinions on books. |

So you`re thinking of having a "specific" board called "Book Club message board". |

Can I suggest a hobbies and interests board. That would encompass reading, crafts, bird watching etc. |

I'll second Ann and Budgie's suggestion of a 'hobbies' board, threads like the bird watching and gardening, maybe cookery also would run along nicely on a dedicated board whereas on General they tend to slip off and have to be searched for :-) |

Yes, a Hobbies and Interests Board would be a great idea. |

For Jax who commented on how far back a book thread was. That is because the people on Greaders threads are busy reading, those threads are mainly active every 3 to 4 weeks and also I am away from home and not on here as much. However Mersey's thread is often active. |

I'd like to echo the thoughts of whoever suggested a return to the old style Chat and General board....where the more serious minded members tended to congregate towards General and the more light hearted towards chat. (yes i know it's a generalisation but that's kind of how it worked with folk from both sides flitting across whenever their mood or their fancy took)... |
