Welcome and Introductions

[jayne25]

Hi, I'm Jayne from the Connecticut Shoreline.  I am a fifth grade teacher, love to read as a way to relax after a very hectic day, and especially love to talk about books !  As the snow continues to fall here, I am looking forward to curling up with Sag Harbor, a cup of tea, and great book discussion! I've marked February 16th on my calendar!  Be back soon.....

I'm Sandy from Lake Minnetonka MN but wintering in Wewahitchka FL.  This will be my fourth First Look book. First Look is my savior while away from my two Minnesota bookclubs.

Thanks B&N.

Hi,

I'm Susan and I've done five or six of these and have enjoyed every one of them.  A few of the books we read so far have become favorites.  I look forward to the discussions on this book and notice that our start date is coming up quickly - so I hope to get the book soon and will have to get reading!!

Hi, my name is Jen and I am a second grade teacher in MA.  I am looking forward to reading this book, it looks interesting.  I have participated in a few First Looks.  I just participated in "A Fortunate Age", however I got behind in reading the postings and, as many of you know, once you get behing it is hard to catch up.  I am hoping to stay on track with this book and participate fully in the discussions.

Hi!  I'm Michelle.  This is my 4th first look book through B&N.  I am an elementary school teacher who wishes she had more time to read.  I try to find a balance between books to challenge me, books to entertain me, and children's books.  I just finished Wuthering Heights for the 3rd time! 

I can't wait to read another "adult" book!

I understand what you mean.  I am an elementary school teacher too and I wish I had more time to read as well.

I'm so happy to be a member of First Look again. The discussions here are excellent. It's always great fun to meet the authors and editors. I can't wait to get started!!

I live in Northeast Pennsylvania. We've got lots of snow, so I have plenty of time for reading!

I'm from western Massachusetts and this is my second First Look. I usually read thrillers and I am using these opportunities to expose myself to different genre. Looking forward to get started.

Since I haven't got a confirmation as yet, should I assume I'm not in the club for this book? I thought my introduction was early enough to express my interest but I haven't heard anything as yet, and so many others have heard. Hopefully it is not too late. Would love to know the answer to this.

[Maria_H]

Where did you look for your confirmation? 

In your private message box?  Because one was sent to you on 2-03-2009 at 11:22 AM.
