So I guess since I didn't get a PM I'm out of luck, right?

[MJColson]

Nevermind...just read Maria's post in the schedule thread...LOL

I was starting to get really sad like the girl who didn't get asked to prom.

I just got my PM! I am home sick from work today (and feeling really lousy I might add), so I'm glad that something good happened to brighten up my day. See you all in the discussion threads.

Hi everyone,

This is my first First look book club. I hope it be a good and interesting reading. I really loved the extract of the book shown here at BN foruns. I'm anxious for my copy to discuss about a lot of topics with you.

Hi my name is Gail, and I live in Spanaway(Graham) Washington.  I was born and raised in San Antonio,Texas.  Really love reading so much that I have a shed in my back yard full of book,and all over my house. In fact I have two library in my house so if this does not tell you how much I really love books . Just came home and I got my PM I can't wait to start reading the book and  all of the post again. Good reading everyone.

Thanks IBIS, I had not realize that O'Nan is such an accomplished writer.  I stopped at the library the other day and picked up Snow Angels, The Good Wife and Wish You Were Here.  I planned on doing Mansfield Park in May but now I'll just concentrate on O'Nan till June.  See you there!

This is exciting to have Songs for the Missing by Stewart O'Nan as a First Look book...

I've just finished Last night at the Lobster, and saw Snow Angels at the movies last week.

Because Stewart O'Nan has several previously published works, they are a baseline against which we can compare Songs for the Missing. Early works reveal so much about an author's style and literary techniques. They will inform us so much about the current reading.....

This is huge!

I got my PM.  So I'm in this time.

Hi everyone....I am so excited to go another round with First Look....I got my PM yesterday and now I can't wait to get the book. I look forward to another wonderful discussion...talk to you all later...

[vivico1]

I know they will be sending confirmations out still this next week too but, has everyone at least had their request pm read? I can wait, for the confirmation, but I am worried if they have all been read at least and mine hasnt, cause you cant get a confirmation till they see your request. Can any of you tell me by lookign at your sent box, if yours has not been read yet either? Thanks.

[MJColson]

Mine is saying it has not been read yet either, Viv.

[cocospals]

Mine hasn't been read either. I think this is the slowest I have seen on the replies.

Its probably because of the weekend. I didn't get mind until Friday so you all that didn't get notified probably will Monday or Tuesday.  Hope its soon for you all. I know the wait hurts. huh?  Linda

[vivico1]

Ok, thanks guys, if yours has not even been read yet either, then I won't worry. I was startihng to worry too that my pm isnt working, because I had a couple of people pm me about it and no on I have replied to in the last few days, is showing that their pms have been read either, not even one to Maria on Friday I think, so not sure anyone is getting mine, or it could just be the weekend. I will wait and see I guess.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but since it is the Community Room, I'm thinking that this is more of an open forum where one can ask for opinions on something other than the First Look Book. Is this a correct assumption? If not, then please tell me where I should go to post. I just finsihed reading a book and I would like to know if others have read it, what was their opinion of the book. I will hold my question until I receive a reply knowing if this is where I can ask the question.

[Everyman]

You can ask anything in here. Ask away!

Ask away.  This is an open forum, so to speak.
