Great Discussion

Wow. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose head was reeling during that great discussion of Revenge. Thanks to Kara for choosing such a meaty book. Thanks also go out to our newest member and Revenge expert Alex, a.k.a. Dark Past.

Moving on to future months, you can see by the tote board on the left that the upcoming moderators have chosen their books:

Andy has chosen Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim for this month. It's an emotional story of a young man's struggle to learn what happened to him during several hours of "lost" time from his childhood.

Kate's title for March is Shopgirl, Steve Martin's look at the life of a lonely woman who works behind the glove counter at Neiman Marcus.

Next, Mary Carmen's April selection is Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire and illustrated by Bill Sanderson. This retelling of the Cinderella story is set in 17th-century Holland.

I hope everyone is looking forward to the upcoming discussions.

Anyone ready to take on May? (You knew I was going to ask!)



comments

Sure, I'll lead the way in May. I have no idea what book to suggest, when is my deadline for deciding? Oh the pressure!

Hunter, you are on! Do you think you can come up with a good one before the end of the month?

Yipes! I know I can think of countless books I've enjoyed. Problem is coming up with one that some of you might enjoy. I'll get cracking.

A book on string theory, anyone? :^)

Double yipes! My name is already listed for May. No backing out now. :^p

how about a book on string cheese?

I may be slow with commenting and posting, but I'm quick off the draw when it comes to nabbing a volunteer. You're right, Hunter, no backing out now!
