I love to read! I started a book club at the local library 7 years ago and I have a web page that is devoted to my reading group and passion. I belong to an on-line reading group and I have picked up some great books and authors from this fun bunch. "The Novel Ladies"

    Just started reading it - really like Lisabeth though! Don't know enough about it yet. See you in a couple of weeks!

    Love the Book of Bright Ideas! It's a really lovely story - nice change from some of the other heavier things we've been reading.f Great suggestion. I might email the author to see if she's available for our next meeting.

    Are you friends with Nancy? That would be very cool to have her join a discussion! I will certainly take notes. Maybe we can save her new book for a future discussion as well?

    Bummer! I wish you were going to be there. Was hoping the meeting was sooner because I was excited to discuss this one. I thought it captured small town well and I really thought she did a great job of engaging us into her characters. I'd definitely read more of this author.

    Have you read Virgin in Small Plains yet? I liked it -- kind of racy in a few spots! Wonder what some of the book club thought....I think I've got my hubby convinced to read it though!

    Haha... I've gotten so used to the school Mac's and all of their shortcuts that its just a whole lot harder to access on a PC. :)

    Right now I'm kind of between books... any suggestions? :)

    I was thinking of doing the Christmas cards with some bookmarks. I make bookmarks with my scrapbooking stuff, so I was thinking of doing a set of maybe six or twelve. I think I will go ahead and do that.

    I did do the SS and I feel like a big boob. The name I got asked for nothing but trade paperbacks and the price was ranging from $15 -$20 so I asked for a list of mass market books, I bought the book mailed it and then I got my package and I can tell there is more than one book and something else. I also see where almost everyone was sending quite a bit more than I did. I feel like I should send another package, but I was going based on the rules, I did not realize everyone else was going overboard. What do you think, should I send another package?

    I tend to stay up until at least 12 everynight. I stay up later on the weekends. I get up about 7:20 during the week. I like staying up late because it is so quiet at that time, I get more reading and computer time then.

    I got that message too, Libby does not post every day, so what is up with that. I also thougt no rules. I feel like there is some negativity there, I am seriously considering dropping them and just staying with Novel Ladies. I also belong to a couple of other groups but they are groups you only post occasionally in. I also have my scrapbooking community I belong to. I also did not like that things were being brought up about Novel Ladies on CC long before Crystal chose to address the issue. I feel I don't have much in common with the CC anymore.

    I am still getting used to this website, but I kind of like it. I sometimes am a little overwhelmed with Novel Ladies and kind feel guilty now for joining Chatting Chicks.

    haha thanks! :) (I'll have to write that goodreads website down. . .) Most of the Stephen King books and Dean Koonz are my mom's, but most of the others are mine!!! :)

    Thanks so much for accepting my friend request. While I have you here, I was wondering . . . would you be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

    Thanks,

    Dena -- was it you the recommended the God of Animals? I just finished it and thought it was excellent. I cried my eyes out. I have to miss the discussion tomorrow for a meeting in Blair -- so bummed because I really wanted to discuss the author. Loved the character depiction -- they were all very real to me. The horse parts were heartbreaking. Anyway, thought I 'd tell you thanks for the recommendation!
