Hello Everyone!  Have yet to receive the book (I live in CA and it takes longer to get everything), but I'm really looking forward to this round.  The book sounds great.

Hi KxBurns & everyone,

I am OrangeBee (OB for short).  I am happy to join this group and look forward to chatting with you all soon.  I got my copy of the book today and I can't wait to dive in!!!  Weather in NY is supposed to be snowy tomorrow..so I'm hoping to spend the weekend snuggled up next to the fire (okay...the space heater) and read all day long.

Happy reading to everyone!

Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a mom, wife and Wisconsin teacher. I have never belonged to a formal Book Club so I'm excited to be a part of this, especially since it is online! I'm looking forward to receiving this book and getting started!

Hello Karen and all the other members of this book club. 

I'm married, mother of 6, grandmother of 10 plus 3 great-grand babies.  I'm retired (IT) and spend my time reading, quilting and enjoy traveling whenever we can. 

I have committed myself to reading more classics this year (working from 1001 Books To Read Before You Die".  I also want to read more mainline lit this year - I tend toward romance, paranormal and mysterys).

Look forward to reading this book and discussing it in this group.

Hello, everyone!  I'm Pam, and I'm thrilled that I get to be a part of this.  This is my first book club participation EVER and can't wait to jump in.  I live in NC with my husband and 3 children, type legal transcripts at home (so I can work in my PJs if the mood strikes! )  And, most importantly, I love to read.  I'm so looking forward to chatting with all of you.

[allieboy]

Hi. My name is Ilana, and I've never belonged to a book club before, although I absolutely love to read, and do so voraciously. I can't wait to be in discussion with others who like to read as well. I live outside of Philadelphia, and our current cold weather lends itself well to curling up with a good book!

[Skelly7645]

Hi. I am Susan.  I live in Southeastern Ma. and enjoy reading ( now that my four children are all teenagers and older).  I spent alot of time waiting for ice hockey practices to end.  I use that time to enjoy books and coffee!!  I participated in the First Look Clubs for The Sister and Songs for the Missing.  I also read The House at Riverton on my own, as I was intriqued with the discussions from that club.

I am looking forward to receiving the ARC and will get set for the discussion to begin.

Happy Holidays to all.

Susan
