Welcome, Brandon! You aren't the only man here. My husband (MSaff), Marcilio, and others are here too. I hope you enjoy the book and the discussion. ![]()

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!

Hello! *waves*
I'm Melanie, named after the character in Gone with the Wind. However, I've been told at times that I resemble Scarlett more.
I'm a teen, and I just recently discovered the First Look Club. It's a great idea, and I thoroughly loved Under this Unbroken Sky. I'm looking forward to many more First Looks to come. I read a wide variety of books, but I admit that I have a soft spot for historical fiction. The past is so... Mysterious.

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only teen (or close to it) here (I'm 20)! This will be my first "First Look" as well, and am looking forward to it!
Where are you from?
Brandon

HI! My name is Emily and I am currently living in Baltimore. I have participated in a few FL books discussions and enjoy reading books that I normally might not pick up. Reading is my favorite hobby/obsession. I look forward to the Postmistress and the lively discussion!

I've never been disappointed in the books I've read through this program so I have nothing to say but positive things!
Happy Reading!
