ponie wrote:I want to teach you all a song as we wait...we will all be singing it soon; as soon as confirmation is received. It goes to the tune of Oh Where Oh Where has my little dog gone. I'm introducing it early so we can all be ready when we need it. It goes with the waiting for the little brown truck dance.
Here we go...
Oh Where Oh Where is the little brown truck?
Oh Where Oh Where can it be?
Got my PM today
Confirmation has come
Now I'm waiting for my A-R-C
I'll do my best!!!!

I'm actually about 20 pages away from finishing Dog On It, which a few of the other First Lookers suggested. It's a great book. Not sure what I will pickup next.

For dogs and classical books lovers I indicate Flush by Virginia Woolf. It's in a dog perspective. See the link:

The message sent itself before I was finished putting in my data, so I had to start again.
Please let me know that I was successful. I really enjoy these FL books.

I agree with DSaff. I read The Forgotten Garden in April & it is well worthwhile. It's also a fast read.

I'm Teresa from Ky. Anyone coming to the Derby?
I've participated in two of the FL's including the most recent, Physick Book. I wasn't a member when House at Riverton and Monsters of Templeton were offered, but I read and enjoyed them after discovering the B &N on line club and reading the posts.
It's been a lot of fun to read & share with other book lovers!
I'm #3 on the waiting list at my local library for Kate Morton's newest

OK here goes....
Do you believe in Magic? I think we all do now
After reading The Physick by Katherine Howe
And it's magic if the book is right
Makes you feel enchanted morning noon and night
I'll tell you about the magic, much has been recorded
Read Of Bees and Mist and you'll be transported
Ohhhh talking about magic.......
Do you believe in magic?
