Books are my passion. I worked in a book store and library in high school/college and have a degree in English. My dream job would be running an independent bookstore/coffee shop. If there is a heaven, I imagine it has an endless supply of mochas, diet coke, books and all manner of animals - wild and tame. All-time favorite authors include...more »

    Hi Lauralia,

    I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you that the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota Group has chosen some good books to read and discuss together during the upcoming months. Our Group Read for the months of September/October will be The Master Butcher’s Singing Club by Louise Erdrich and the group read for the months of November/December will be Growing An Inch by Stanley Gordon West. Both books are by Minnesota authors.

    I invite you to join us in reading and discussing these books. I just finished The Master Butchers Singing Club and thought it was a great piece of historical fiction. I've started a thread in the group for discussion and would love to hear your thoughts also.

    Lynne / Doughgirl5562 – Co-Admin of the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota Group

    I love the Inspector Banks series. Here is his website: http://www.inspectorbanks.com/books/ the best way to read him is chronologically because each book builds on the last one. Hope you like him

    Hi! Just wanted to let you know that we are currently taking nominations for September/October group reads for the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota group .The books nominated don't have to be by Minnesota authors or have Minnesota ties, but that is preferable. Feel free to nominate any genre and type of book, as long as you think it is interesting and relevant to this group. Nominations will remain open for a few more days, at which time I will close nominations and we will vote.

    There is also a separate thread to discuss how the group want to proceed with group reads in general. Whether or not to do them. How often, etc. Your input on this subject would be very much appreciated also!

    Welcome to Better than Starbucks! Look around, make yourself at home, start a new thread or dig up an old one or just read and jump in on the more active ones.
