Hi all 
I participated in reading Eternal on the Water and absolutely love that book! I mention it to everyone I know who reads as an awesome general fiction read, and great love story. Now I look forward to these reads and discussions with B&N book clubs and am excited about this one because even the brief summary pulled me in; can't wait to see what happens.
Reading at my desktop isn't an ideal situation and like others have mentioned I'm disappointed it's not a traditional hardcopy book/arc but I haven't been able to afford an eReader as of yet so I'm going to try and read at work on breaks. Meanwhile I'm also crossing my fingers I win a nook from one of several contests I've entered

Debbie,
The best thing I can think of is the following: If you are interested in new technology, like books, but hate the weight of carrying around a heavy book in your bag, and want to get a little greener, then the Nook is for you. If not, then it probably isn't going to be a wise spend of the $259. I got my Nook just before Christmas and I adore it. It goes with me EVERYWHERE! It fits in my handbag and I usually pull it out at lunch and both of my breaks each workday. The only downside is that I now want more than my allotted 1 hour lunch break, just to keep reading.

Anyway welcome to all the newbies you'll be old friends here soon this is sort of like a commune an extended family and here's a big bear hug from me. Don't forget to visit all the other book clubs here too, you have no idea how my TBR(to be read) pile has increased since joining here so be prepared to meet new friends and discover great new authors.
And to my old friends from FL and the other clubs hi good to see you all.

This will be uncharted territory for me. Since I don't have a nook, Kindle, or IPad I will have to read this new book the "old fashioned" way...on my PC! I will miss having a real book to hold, but I'm I'm up for the challenge!

Hello Literature,
I missed The Poacher's Son because I've become part-time caregiver to a 98-year old friend and just haven't had the time for regular participation, though I've posted occasionally on various nook boards. I was in the first group to get nook (delivery was delayed) and I loved the help we all received from admins and each other when we finally got it. Now I use my two hour bus rides to my friend's house to knit and read on my nook and confuse the other riders. Who else takes one hand off the knitting in front of her and swipes a finger across a dark screen regularly? I've put close to a hundred books on my nook (and I have about 60 on my "old" kindle) so I am all set to commute forever.
I am still struggling with the new "Quote" function on the "Reply" screen. I don't seem to be able to get rid of extraneous material and I don't have the patience to figure out how. Oh well, the first step was to sign up for The Writing Circle which looks very interesting to me since I belong to a writing group and find writing circles amusing at times.
