Welcomes and Introductions

[kanellio65]

Hello! I am a reading teacher and entered as soon as my students were dismissed. I hope that isn't too late. I was part of the last First Look, The Sister, and it was a dream come true to get an ARC and be able to discuss and review. I am hoping I get my copy as well as some of my friends as we want to discuss the book in our book club as well as online here! Looks like a great choice and I can't wait to get started on it. Keeping fingers crossed I will be able to join the group! Have a grand day!

Hey guys.
Its me, Vivian from Oklahoma. I love thrillers so looking forward to this book very much. I am reading a romance Thriller right now with some friends for this month, so since I know this place can get hectic and thousands of post between now and June, I will just say, see you when we get started in June or in one of the other clubs next month. I am looking forward to the one with the author "Belong to Me" for May, so I am set for the next couple of months. See you all later.

Hi everyone. I am looking forward to be part of this First Look Book. It will be my first one and I am very excited. In fact it is the first time I am involved in an online book club. I love reading for my own pleasure as well as with my two daughters. I have already turned my 7 year old into a book hound, and my 3 yo will not go to sleep unless she has 3-4 books on her bed! I live with my husband, 2 girls, a dog and 2 fish in South Jersey. Can't wait to start !!

Loved the other books we have read.  Didn't get to post on "Sister" as much but really fired up and ready for the new one.  Songs for the Missing sounds like a wonderful read.  Thanks B&N for all the great fun.  By way of intro - I'm a 60 year old grandmother of 10.  Love to read, garden, and travel.

Hi My name is Shelley & I'm in San Antonio, TX.  This will be my 2nd First Look if I get picked.  I enjoyed reading the last book.  I started a little late last time so I didn't post much but read lots & lots of posts.  I plan on starting right away this time.  KxBurns--How long will it be before we find out if we've been picked?  I'm ready to start!!!!

See you all in future posts (I hope!)

Hello everyone. I guess I am in for another great read. I am Linda and this is my 3rdnewbookclub. The last two were good books also. I am from Virginia and we are finally getting some Spring weather but probably will get more Winter also. Hi to Viv, don not see Deb and Cind yet?  Happy reading!

[Skelly7645]

Hi.  I'm Susan from Southeastern Massachusetts.  If I am lucky, this will be my second First Look book club.  I enjoyed The Sister....I posted comments when I could, spent a lot of time reading the posting threads, devouring others' thoughts and opinions and hope to also be a part of this reading.

Having four teenagers (only two can drive) leaves me little or no time to join a local book club.  The B & N First Look club brings a great benefit---writings by new authors as well as authors new to me...Opens me up to reading genres that I may not have tried before as well as experiencing the views that others also share.

I am so happy to hopefully have another opportunity to participate.  Happy reading to all.

Susan

Hi Everyone:

I'm Twink from up in Canada. I'm hoping I made it in  time as well! I've not read Stuart O'Nan before but this sounds very promising!

[Linda10]

Hello!

My name is Linda (obviously).  I live in Idaho but grew up in beautiful Ohio, which will always be home as far as I'm concerned.

Like everyone else, I, too, hope I get picked for this new First Look Book.  I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa to arrive!

P.S.  Hi, Vivico!  Good to "see" you again.  I've enjoyed your comments in previous discussions!

Hi everyone, I am Tarri (surprising, huh) and I live in Washington state.  This will be my fourth First Look book and I look forward to the discussions.

Hello to all,  I'm Lynda from Ohio.  It was really a nice surprise to read O'nan's excerpt and find that it is placed in Ohio.  I bought my car in Kingsville for goodness sake!  This is my third first look arc and I must say that I liked the last two very much but for many different reasons.  I see some familiar names and look forward to discussing Songs with old and new members.

HI Everyone,

I am Bridgid and I live in Philly.  If chosen this will be my third first look book.  I actually took my laptop to work(I'm an RN) and scheduled my break to coincide with the sign-up.  I have enjoyed the previous books and disussions and look forward to another,

Hi! I'm Maribeth and I have participated in one First Look before - The House at Riverton.  I read the excerpt and really hope I get in.  Look forward to talking with you all.

[Bethann425]

Hi.  My name is Bethann.  I love to read and write.  I'm trying to write my first novel.  So far it seems slow going, but I've found by reading online, novels take time.  I enjoy these book clubs.  I can't wait to get the free arc.  Hopefully someday, I'll be able to do this with my first novel.

Hi,

I'm from southeastern MA and thoroughly enjoy the First Look bookclub!  If chosen this will be my third.  This selection is not my usual genre but that's what's wonderful about bookclub is that they provide an opportunity to read something different.   I don't get to post as often as I'd like.  Sometimes I get so caught up in reading the postings and digesting all that is written, that I don't have time to post myself! 

I hope I'm chosen, I loved House at Riverton, Sister was just ok, can't wait.
