    You're right, there are other websites that have discussion questions. I just noticed that the edition that I have for Mists has discussion questions as well in the back. I'll defitnetly help with the Woods. It sounds interesting. I am actually enjoying midwives tremendously. It's a culture that we really don't learn about.

    hey mimi! how are you doing? i hope you are having a fabulous time reading.
    I am having a slow time reading for some reason but I should be done with Midwives by this weekend and be able to post questions by Monday. Now for the other BOTMs, what books would you be needing help on? I am halfway done with Mist of Avalon right now and I have already jotted down a few questions so far. I will be going to the library tomorrow to pick up The Woods and Atonement. So, whatever is easiest for you, I am more than happy to help.

    Oooh Hawaii! I've never been there but I bet it is a beautiful place. Not much is going on over here other than trying to survive. The tutoring company that I work for is shutting down and is being transitioned into Kaplan Tutoring. Hours are becoming less and less each passing day and pretty soon I won't have any hours for at least two weeks or until the new company starts. I am just hoping that my bills don't catch up to me because it is really hard to find another job. But in the bright side of things, I have more time to read my hundreds of books that are here taking over my room :)

    I get on those supernatural kicks now and than myself. Sometimes I just crave something a little dark and magical. You should really check out the Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. Bitten (the 1st in the series) is one of my favorite books of all time.

    Yep, it's a great group. I hope to participate in the group reads eventually. i do have a request hold on The Host at my library, but it may be a while. I just started reading Turning Angel by Greg Iles. Have you read anything by him? I read The Quiet Game a while back, which is good, since the main character for this one was featured in that book as well.

    Sure, I can help out. I may disappear for a few days at a time because of exams but otherwise I'm online pretty regular. I'm also going to be gone for three weeks in August so if that doesn't cause problems, I'd like to help.

    Hey! I had someone ask what we're reading for March in the Bibliophile group. When do we start picking and voting for March? :)

    Hi Mimsey!

    I hope this finds you well and further along in Dante!

    I'm impressed - reading it in the original language. That is incredibly cool! Not sure if I'd have the patience to do that, but it's something I have thought about attempting in the far future. I did read "Le Petit Prince" back in high school. Something I've been meaning to do again. Now that I haven't had French in years it would be extremely interesting! I only got as far as buying the book and that was years ago. Maybe someday :)

    Take care and happy reading!!

    Mimsey, I liked your note in the 1001 book group. What do you do when your wife starts throwing your books out when they start taking over the house? I tell her hey these are my friends.

    Hi Mimsey. I saw your note in 1001 Books. What do you do though when your wife says "too many books" and starts taking them away? Fortunately, I have held onto my favorites. Hopefully, it is not too cold in CO. My secretary just took off for DC to watch the inauguration.
