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!

Hi Michelle,

    I have never had the opportunity to read Wuthering Heights.  Way back in the day.... (early 70's) when I was in High School it was one of 4 reading choices one semester along with Les Miserables another choice that I didn't make.  It struck me when you mentioned it because I just finished New Moon and Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer and she mentions Wuthering Hights quite a bit too.  I think something is telling me it's time to pick it up.

Hi,

   I'm Cathie and I'm from the southeastern part of Massachusetts.  I've had the opportunity to participate in a few of the other First Looks and this book sounds like it's going to be the best yet.  I work full time so I don't have as much time to read as I would like and needless to say my "To Be Read" pile of books is always 6 or 7 books ahead of me.  I'm the mother of two grown sons that I'm very proud and a very precious granddaugher.   When I'm not reading or working I'm probably off somewhere playing bridge. 

Life is good and I have much to be thankful for.

 I was also lucky enough to meet Stewart O'Nan at a discussion at our local library. I'm very sorry to have missed that group online.

Hi Gimp,

How was meeting Stewart O'Nan?  I was a part of that discussion of his book "Songs for the Missing".  I would have loved to meet him and talk to him about his book.

I hope you don't break anything else.  Good luck!

Hello everyone! My name is Linda and this is my first time with the First Look bookclub. My sister told me about it and I'm glad she did.  I was going to do the January club, but was in the process of moving to South Carolina, so I waited for the February book. I signed up while living in a hotel, waiting to move into my new home! I was actually a bit surprised when the book came, as I have been overwhelmed with the unpacking and setting up house. But I look foward to reading and discussing Sag Harbor.

Hi everyone!

I'm Audrey, from Wisconsin. This is my first First Look, and my first book club. I am really looking forward to this!  I've never done this before - so do we just "show up" on the 16th? Any time? (or did I miss something?)

I work full-time, and blog about books and reading.
