I love to see what other people are reading and challenge myself to read books that expand my understanding. I love book stores, libraries, and book lists. I am a speech and language pathologist who works with young children.

    Since there is one home football game remaining, Nov. 21--next weekend--my guess is that is when the next Book Club is. I'll decide when I know what time the game is, but I wish it was this Saturday. Would love to see you soon, Marcia

    You know, Mari, I really don't think that did happen; but I think she is reading the book, and I know she gave up on Pillars. I'd better send her a quick email and ask her. But Book Club is in another week, isn't it? And this is a quick read, so anyone who wanted to could get it read.

    Now that I have caught up with Book Club books, I can finish Cloris and start on my long list of "intentions." Sure was a lovely day today, and here I was indoors working all day; just like you!

    I just finished reading "Skeletons at the Feast." It was so well-written that I couldn't put it down - even on vacation!

    I can't have any fun posting new books, etc. I have to finish this TOME!! But I'm half through now, so things are looking up!

    Thanks for the well-wishes! We went out for dinner in Sioux Falls, and I guess that is the extent of our celebrating! We will fly to Paris and waltz in Vienna in our imaginations!

    Have you read Garden Spells? I read Sugar Queen based on your shelf and decided to try Garden Spells since I liked Sugar Queen so much. It was so good I read the entire book yesterday. (I don't usually do this!) :)

    Almost finished with People of the Book. Too many changing stories for me; so it's interesting to me that it is one of the finalists for One Book One Lincoln. But the NRBC has a great track record for picking the best/most popular/whichever!!

    Also, I got invitations sent to Kathy and Kathleen, but that's all I have on my Friends list from BC. So if you have Darla or anyone else, please send invitations also. Are you through with school or teaching summer school, or both?

    Please do, as I have failed at figuring out how to add books to the group shelf. I tried to add the Ken Follet book also and did something wrong. Please put whatever you want on the shelf, since I'm still "dundering!"

    So how did you get in it? By accident like I did the first time?

    I agree that Book Club has really made me aware of a much wider selection of books; so that is a good thing. For the most part I think my favorite book is the one I have just finished reading!

    Just spent the afternoon finishing The Guernsey Literary, etc. What a delightful read, and what diverse books I read! From this to last week's My Losing Season. Thank God for books and reading!!

    Hi, Well, I was tired. After working until 5:00 most days, VBS was from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Then, we left around 12:15 pm for the Scout camping at the baseball diamond in Sioux Falls. We had the baseball game, fireworks, running around the bases, and then signing autographs. Then there was a movie until 1:00 am. We did not get much sleep because breakfast was at 6:00 am and since the baseball clinic was at 7:00 am, we had to have our tents off the field by 7:00. Then Kyle and I left for the NeSoDak retreat from 11:00 to 4:00. I was tired and grouchy. Talk to you later.

    Mari, we shut Shelfari down while you were gone. We did not feel it was worth going on without you! 'Hope you had a good trip!
