    That is great and a wonderful goal for you book club. I really enjoyed it and I think it will be a hit.
    I do understand the time and energy babies take. You need to invest so much because it is so important and it doesn't always leave much for reading. It is worth it. I can tell you that without a doubt. :)
    He'll end up having your love of books and that will help him go far in life!

    Hi Bilbah
    I hope you are doing fine. I just finished Lemon Swamp. It is a memoir and it is really good. So I thought you might also enjoy it. I love stories about strong women and this is one of them. I hope you are having a good summer. How old is your little one now? My grandchildren are 14 to 1 now. Time just goes so fast and I still don't have enough time to read, work, watch my flowers grow, watch the stars, listen to the bees. The unimportant things always get in the way.
    Take care

    Since I have been doing some heavy duty reading lately, I have just started an Iris Johanson suspense novel.
    I finished Benazir Bhutto's Reconciliation. She finished writing it 4 days before her assassination and I really recommend it.
    She really explains the ins and outs of the Middle East.

    Hi Well I have been reading some heavy duty books. I do recommend Benazir Bhutto's Reconciliation. She finished it just
    4 days before her assassination. It is really good and helps put a lot of what is happening in the Middle East into perspective.
    Last night I started an Iris Johanson suspense novel. I needed some fluff.

    Hi Bibah
    I just stopped by to see what you are reading lately. Did you ever get to see Wicked?
    You have to read Son of a Witch. I have it, haven't read it yet. My sister did and loved it.
    Take care Khabira

    Dear friend

    I'm so after the book "red tent". unfortunately I couldn't find it in my country(Iran). so if you, by any chance, have the PDF format of this book, I would be thankful beyond the words, if you let me have it.

    Awwww, thanks for accepting my friendship request! Tell me something; are you actively involved in a book club? I've noticed that you've mentioned being in a book club and I'm currently looking for one to join. If you are in one, do you all have any openings for new members? I'm local; I live a few min. away from Sil.Spr., Md. Let me know! :)

    Oh my gosh! A retreat? How fantastic! Our group has been toying with doing a retreat for about a year now--I'm planning on making it more than just a hope though! LOL I need to pop over to the website you gave me--I would love to see what your group has read.

    I don't know what form of artists are in your group, but if you're looking for ideas for creation--maybe you could have people make something that represents them as women now--or represents the path they took towards womanhood, perhaps something that shows their path of learning, maturity or development, or maybe a representation of a pivotal event in their lives as women.

    Your project sounds very interesting--I hope when you decide what it will be that you will be comfortable enough to share what you chose. Anyway--enough of my taking up your time--have a great day, I am really enjoying chatting back and forth with you! : )

    Thanks for the note on The Women of Brewster Place--I'm going to definitely put on my list for my next pick!

    I saw your note for The Red Tent--we had some great discussions about this on the Late Night Bookies discussion group, and I think on the Women of Lore group as well.

    In my book club here at home, we talked a lot about the role of women during that time period--the concept of power when you are in a submissive situation, the definition of power, as well as the culture of women. We talked about our personal beliefs, which are quite varied, despite the fact that several of us belong to the same religion. I found the book fascinating, engaging and controversial--but in a good and thought provoking way.

    I hope that helps a little bit!

    Happy night! HPG
