I love to read but often go in spurts... lots of reading, and then dry spells. I'm lucky that my sister just opened a bookstore, so I have a great selection at my fingertips!

    Hi!

    The Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota Group recently hit 100 members, so we're kicking off a 100-Member Celebration! Details are available on the group site. Hint: It involves a drawing for some gift certificates, and participation is required in order to be eligible for the drawing :-) Come celebrate with us!

    Also, we've announced that our summer group read will be Leif Enger's newest book: So Brave, Young and Handsome. I'm reading this book right now and will have the discussion thread up by next week. The thread will be available for discussion this entire summer.

    I just noticed that you taught at HP Senior HS in the past. I graduated in 71 (a year early). I recently joined facebook to see who I can find! There might be some children of my classmates there!

    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 at least one more week, 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!

    I can't remember why I decided to re-pick up Guy. Fascinating stories though.

    I have only disliked one other Berg book, Until the Real Thing Comes Along, but this book seemed to be going along fine, but the ending was terrible. Ruined the entire book for me. It was like she slammed a door in my face.

    Hi my4giraffes,

    Thanks for the note on my booklist. I read a great deal at night and very early in the morning. I am a fast reader, sometimes I read too fast and don't take the time to truly enjoy the words and story. Reading is my addiction and my drug of choice to fix anything. :) Expensive habit but heathly.

    Look forward to talking books with you soon. ~ Tina
