| I have a list of books that I want to read, and I am constantly adding more to the list. At the moment, my list is quite long, and I look like a nut pulling out my ragged list each and every time I walk into a bookstore. My list: The Senator's Wifeby Sue Miller Suite Francaiseby Irene Nemirovsky The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Remember Me by Sophie Kinesella Amazing Grace by Daniele Steel Honor Thyself by Daniel Steel * well that isn't my entire list, but those are just a few that I am wanting to read. I also am interested in reading the series of books by Libba Bray, The Gemma Doyle Trilogy, and so many others. I read a book and most of them I ship back to my mother and cousin to read, but if any of you are interested, I have quite a few books around here, and maybe we can organize some kind of book swap/club? |

| That would be awesome, we could put each other on the list of a book, then read it and send it to the next. When everyone has read it, it goes back to the owner! Yeeehaw _________________ Super Mod

I'm reading Suite Francaise right now. Has anyone else read it? I'd be curious to know what others think of the book. I'm enjoying it, but for some reason, I am reading it very, very slowly. I also have The Kite Runner which should be next on my list. I kept reading other books before both of these. I hope it's not too political to say, but I read I am America (and so can you!) over the holidays and loved it. I'm with JWChitown on the book club, I'd have to buy a second copy of every book! When I get finished with these two, I could send them to you, Fame. How does June sound??  |

| Jume would be GREAT! LOL.....Please let me know what you think of Suite Francaise when you are finished. I was telling my mother about it, and she asked if anyone had recommended that book, so I would love to be able to give her a little review from someone. By the way, on a side note, I wanted to mention a lovey pm I recieved. I mistakenly went to the old board this morning and to my amazement, I had a message from Lisa Burdziejko, the author of [/u]Still Breathing[u]. I was shocked. She had googled her name, saw what I had written about her book and how much I enjoyed it, and send me a very kind pm thanking me for the recommendation. I was totally impressed because it was completely genuine, and so unexpected. |

When I saw Lisa Burdziejko had signed on as a new user, I thought that name sounded familiar. The world gets smaller and smaller every day, doesn't it!
Actually, it was fun for me to Google: Still Breathing by Lisa Burdziejko and low and behold, the URL for the old forum comes up. Maybe we should go more into the book review business. It must have been really fun for you to see._________________ ModeratorNo matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. But, BB season is the best! |

| Fame, that's great that she contacted you. I saw the username too and thought WTH?? Is she a producer on BB? I didn't make the connection. I wonder what she thought when she took a look at the site. I would say we're not your average book club site. She must have also thought WTH?!? Anyway, in case others might be googling....Stephen Colbert is a Golden God. :lotsolove: |

Remember Me is a really good book. I have read most of her Shopoholic series too, which I really love. The Shopoholic books make me nervous with all the excessive spending, but I really loved the books. I have lent the books to others and they did not like them because they thought the major character was a little shallow. To each his own, I always say.. or... Bring on the shallow, because I loved them...
