[Rachel-K]

We are in our last week! Please help me to give thanks to Sarah for her warm, intelligent, and generous responses to our questions and comments! And thanks so much to Amy Einhorn for sharing her thoughts and work on Postmistress and the publishing process.

And to the group--thanks once again for your close readings and the wonderful depth and scope of your comments. This was a wonderful novel to be able to listen to your thoughts on. Hope I find all of you in upcoming groups!

The Postmistress was a good read. Thanks for joining us at the First Look.

The one thing that sticks out in my mind, is the introductory letter from Amy Einhorn.

It really set the tone of the book for me.

Thanks, pen21

I echo Rachel-K's thanks to all and also want to give a shout out to B & N for making this book club possible.  I really appreciate all that goes into choosing the books, sending them to us at no charge, and having such wonderful moderator's who so skillfully choose points of discussion. 

Hoping we all meet again for the next selection.

Thank you Sarah and Amy for a wonderful story.  This book gave me many hours of entertainment.  Thanks to the B&N folks and the discussion group.  This was just as much fun as reading the book.  It's been a blast.

[sheljenk]

Thank you B&N First Look for letting me read this phenomenal book!  It was so exciting to be a part of this. This book will go far.  It was so moving and insightful.  I was brought to tears by parts.  Love it!  Thanks again! 

[Tarri]

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your wonderful book with us.  I got a copy of Grange House today and cannot wait to get reading. 

Thanks also to Paul and Rachel for their help and insightful questions. Thank you to Amy for finding and publishing The Postmistress.  And to all the other First Lookers, it's been a great discussion, as always.

[Carmenere_lady]

Sarah, loved your book and thanks for the time you took out of your schedule to "talk" to us.  Wish you much success with The Postmistress.

Thanks Paul and Rachel, as always you were right on top of things and provided excellent questions to kick off discussion.

Finally, Thanks to all First Lookers who participated with their input and ideas.  To coin a phrase the only bad idea is the one that isn't presented, it's great that we can have a discussion with respect and openmindedness to all. 

Hope to see you all again in December.

Thank you Paul and Rachel for your guidance, Amy for your editorial input, fellow Lookers for your observations, speculations, and always interesting contributions to the debate about The Postmistress. Most of all, thank you Sarah Blake for giving us a chance to read and discuss your latest novel.

Hi Everyone,

  I'd like to take this opportunity to say that First Look came up with another great read.  Sarah has a wonderful way of writing and I was completely drawn into the story right from the beginning.  Thank You Sarah, and Amy for such a great novel. 

  I'd also like to thank Rachel and Paul for their parts in moderating such a lively discussion.  You two are beyond compare.  Thanks to everyone for the lively discussion.  I'm sure that we will be seeing a lot of Sarah Blake in the future. 

[Peppermill]

Little point in repeating what many of you have said so well, but I will, in short form -- many thanks are due to Sarah Blake, her editor, B&N and its staff, our moderators Rachel and Paul, and all the participants for making this an interesting and most pleasant month around The Postmistress. I enjoyed the book and will recommend it to friends.  Pepper

What a treasured gift we are given, to have a chance to read a wonderful new book - ahead of publication! - to be able to interact with the author and publisher, and to have this open forum to share our thoughts with other avid readers.

Heartfelt thanks to Sarah and Amy, and to our thoughtful and provoking moderators,  and to all the readers, those who struggled with,  and those who fell in love with this book, and even everyone on the fence.  Sharing our thoughts and feelings about books, as with so many things, makes us all richer.
