Hi Karen,

I just signed up so now just crossing my fingers. I haven't had the pleasure of reading Zoe Heller so I'm looking forward to experiencing her for the first time.

Can't wait.

Hi,

I just signed up for this one too.  I have never heard of this author.  I hope that I get in for this book.  Sounds very interesting.

Hello everyone.  I am excited to read another Zoe Heller.  I read her Notes on a Scandal.  Great stuff.

Hey All! Just signed up and am keeping my fingers crossed..... Is her book Notes of a Scandel what the movie was based on?

I'm not sure that I'm registered.  Was it a simple click on the title - The Believers or did I miss the spot?

Hi everyone! I just signed up for The Believers. I am a veteran of the First Look club and have

read Zoe Heller's What Was She Thinking? [Notes On A Scandal]. It sounds interesting. Looking

forward to the discussion.

Hi, I'm Deb and I loved Notes on a Scandal and also Everything You Know, which I'm not certain is available in the US. I ordered it from the UK. She's a great writer and I can't wait to read her latest.

Hello all;

I am so happy to be in another great book read with all of  you. All of these clubs are so adventurous. We do not know the beyond of these brand new stories. I just love the suspense of it all. I am a real oldy on B&N book clubs and of course the most avid reader there is on earth. Well, at least, one of the most avid readers.  I am retired so I read all the time, well sometimes I have lunch dates with friends and overnite trips with friends and doodle alot with scrapbooking and am on some committees but mostly read. What a life of Riley!  I know!  Happy reading to us all.   Linda (Va)

[anaifrs]

yes. the movie lacks some of the details, but nonetheless the movie was nominated for several academy awards/oscars

[Readingrat]

I just signed up too.  It was hard choosing but I think this one sounds interesting.  Looking forward to discussing it with everyone.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Chana, from Haifa (northern Israel).  I just signed up, and hope I got in.  I'm another old veteran of B&N book clubs (since 2006), but this is my first First Look club.   It was indeed very hard to choose between the two books offered this time.  I haven't read Zoë Heller's work before, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks to Melissa W for the info on registering.  I'm registered and I hope I will receive a copy.  I enjoy the different viewpoints that readers have of the same book I read!  I certainly enjoy the opportunities that First Look provides.
