Hi I'm from Western NC and this is my fifth time participating in the first look club.  I really like this book club because it forces me out of my reading comfort zone and has introduced me to some fantastic authors that I may never have read otherwise.  It has also made me braver in my book selections when I go to B&N to browse and buy!  I am looking forward to this book because I really love historical fiction.

HI skiibunny!   I am from not too western NC, but west of I-77!    Good to see  you here!

[liisa22]

Welcome Bonnie,

I am originally from Tallahassee and visit there quite often to see my sister and niece.  

First Look is a great book club.

Welcome, Kim. Hopefully the book and discussion will help fill some of your time. I needed that when my last one left home.

Hi,

I'm new to the club I had read some of the first offerings but had no time to discuss. Summer is coming to a close and I plan to do more of what I love best READ. I am still working but am a partial empty nester. Partial as I have one daughter who comes and goes. I also have a husband and a dog. I'm from Minnesota and look forward to many good discussions.

I'm so glad you made it!

This will be my seventh First Look and I am as excited as always.  However this Historical novel  seems to be 

one that has me awaiting its arrival already---love affairs, love letters--it sounds wonderful

You are a nerd, but I love you anyways SIS!! And that sounds like a good idea to try for my first book!!

Thanks for telling me about this!!

October is my favorite month of the year too!!  I'm Becky from Northeastern Wisconsin.  The leaves are starting to subtly change here - I loves this time of year!!!!  I am 31.  I work part-time and have two young boys (4 and 6 1/2 months).  My oldest starts 4K tomorrow - I'm a nervous wreck waiting for the first time I have to see him get on the bus!!

Hi Everyone!

   I just received my confirmation and I am so excited! This will be my second "First Look" and I think it's such a great experience. Chatting with fellow book lovers, interacting with the author.... I'm from Connecticut, an avid book reader, run a book club and have a book blog. I look forward to meeting people while we discuss The Postmistress....

Hi,

I'm brand new to this and hope I followed all the steps correctly!

I'm a native of Washington State and live now in Iowa.  I moved from a tiny community in the north central part to the Des Moines area in June.  I love living in the midwest.

I had a great time reading this summer and look forward to reading and discussing online!

After reading just the first page of introductions, I feel like the only male in here.........

My name is Brandon, and I just turned 20 a month ago. I've been kicking myself to read something, since I've managed to read almost nothing since I graduated from high school a little over a year ago. I'm a freshman at Florida International University, and majoring in Information Technology and minoring in Music. After reading the synopsis that popped up on my fan page from Facebook, I decided this is what I would challenge myself to read.

I look forward to discussing this book with every one of y'all, as much as I look forward to reading it!

Hi,

I am Brian.  I am 42, married and live in Central Florida near Disney.  I am looking forward to being a member of this club and getting to read and discuss the books we are given.  I was a middle school science/history teacher until having to retire early due to a medical condition.  I am mostly housebound so this is a great opportunity for me to have something interesting to do during the day and have some additional social contact with the outside world.  I can't wait to get started!!!
