Welcome from Your Moderator!

[ConnieAnnKirk]

Hello, Readers! And welcome to the Barnes & Noble.com book club for Charles Dickens's A CHRISTMAS CAROL. I'm ConnieK, and I'll be your moderator for this discussion. It's that time of year again, when food and family come together with good times and good talk and maybe just a little bit of downtime to fit in a few good books in between. I look forward to re-reading and sharing this old-time holiday classic with you all!

If I can be of any help with the club at any time, please do let me know. You can reach me off the board by clicking on the tiny envelope at the top right-hand corner of the board screen and sending me an IM (Instant Message). Feel free to start threads on topics of interest to you. You start a thread by clicking on "New Message" at the top left of your screen.

I will set up threads for chapter groupings for those who would like to discuss as they read. I'll paste this to the top of our board. Please avoid discussing topics from later in the book than those chapters so as not to spoil the book for others. In the section of the board below the line, we will place any topics for discussion for those who have completed the book. Feel free to post "Spoilers" of any kind in those threads--likewise, readers who would not like to know how the story ends before they read it for themselves are cautioned to avoid the threads below the line.

I wish all of you a joyous season as we prepare for the holidays!
