Welcome & Introductions

[thewanderingjew]

Hi,

I just got notified that the arc will arrive next month. I have enjoyed the other first look discussions and l look forward to this one too. Thank you B &N for such a wonderful program and opportunity.
Right now, for the winter, I am in Florida. My son is getting married this weekend, on the beach, and it looks like the weather will cooperate although the beach has been badly eroded from storms offshore during the summer. This Thanksgiving, I have a lot to be thankful for in my life.

Hi, Linda!  Have a great day with your family!  Sounds like lots of good things to eat!  Safe travels to you!  I'm staying home, alone, this year.  I've spent the whole week celebrating Thanksgiving, actually the whole month, with friends and family.  Now I get to stay home, read, and eat leftovers! Ha!

Be well, 

Kathy

Hi, I'm Judy and live in South Florida.  I just signed up for this latest First Look book and hope to get it.  This will be my 2nd First Look book.  I enjoyed reading and participating in The Believers discussion and look forward to reading this newest pick.  I am an avid reader and this First Look book club has been great!

Hi everyone, my name is Carolyn from northern Virginia.  This will be my 3rd First Look book.  My previous First Look books were Songs for the Missing and The Mighty Queens of Freeville.  I was excited to discover a new First Look coming so soon after The Mighty Queens discussion.  I thought we'd all have to wait a while before another selection was posted.  I love to read, that is when I am not busy cross stitching!  Look forward to receiving A Fortunate Age and discussing it with all of you.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hello to All!  I am MamaBear and I've taken part in a few First Looks awhile back, but then just got too busy.  I really missed them.  I am from Southcentral Minnesota (not really the frozen tundra as it is over 40 degrees today, but it will be well below zero later this winter).  I'm really looking forward to this book and the discussion with all of you.
