Hi Everyone,
Many, many thanks for such a successful First Look Book Club. Hats off to Katherine Howe for writing such a terrific book which spurred our great discussion here.
We'll be announcing our next First Look selection next week, so keep your eyes on the boards!
Best,
Paul

Thanks to all of you who make the FL book club possible! From the B&N staff who select the book, to the moderators, author, editor, etc., you provide the opportunity to not only get to know the book but also the author. Thank you. This is an awesome opportunity and I can't wait to see what is next. ![]()

Hi Everyone,
I can only echo what Paul has said here. Katherine Howe is a first rate, first class, and wonderful writer. She knows how to get you into a book which in turn created a GREAT push for a Great discussion throughout our time here.
I would like to say thank you to all who participated in this discussion. I really enjoyed the book and the discussion with everyone.
I can't wait for her next book, and look forward to the next FL pick.

Adding my thanks to all involved in another memorable FL book, Rachel, Katherine, Paul and all the FL posters who offer amazing posts which enrich the experience. Somehow FL continues to get better with each selection. It's exciting to think about what you're going to come up with next. And to D & MSaff. It's been nice seeing a husband and wife share and discuss this novel together.

Thank you, Barnes and Noble, Maria, Paul, Rachel and Katherine Howe for making this possible and the generous gift of books and your time!
I really enjoyed this book and the discussions - it was my favorite of all the First Look Selections. The wonderful combination of suspense, romance, and early American History was terrific.
