Hi - My name is Melanie & I live in North Dakota.

Hi Everyone, 

Three seconds sounds like a terrific read. I love thrillers. I live in North Central Florida near the Goethe Forest. I've been in other FIrst Look Clubs and they've been great fun with good discussions.

Hey everyone  I GOT CONFIRMED already!  I am excited.

Started to talk up the book with the honey today.  He said it would be nice and suspenseful as well. 

Looks like some new folks- which is always nice to get onboard & some old (relative to time not age) friends in the group. 

WELCOME everyone.  Back to critiquing the VIXEN- what a great read that has turned out to be.

This is my 3rd FL book & I am so excited to be reading at such a nice pace, and with friends who love to talk

Hello everyone.

I am Wanda from West Virginia. I am looking forward to participating in this First Look Book Club. Can't wait to receive my copy of "Three Seconds".

[gmfuhlman]

I would have to also agree with you that getting confirmed and notified almost immediately is so much better than waiting weeks. So Paul thank once again for the great job you are doing for us the FL book club.

Hi all!

My name is Audrey and I just heard about the first look program. I am an active member in a local book club and I am excited about the oppurtunity to get chosen for the First Look book Three Seconds! I read many true crime books so this seem right up my alley!

Hi Audrey. I think you will enjoy the First Look Club. I can't wait to start reading and discussing Three Seconds with you and everyone else.

I agree with how generous Barnes and Noble has been. Thanks you so much for this kind of opportunity which has brought me to new worlds and adventures...all for free. The books have been a valuable addition to my collection and when I like them I certainly do recommend them to others and have lent them to family members.

Hi fellow readers, I hope you are all well and that it is as sunny where you are as it is here today in Washington. 

My name is Tarri.  I am retired and live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where we are heading into six months of reading weather.  Since the Farmer's Almanac has predicted we will have more snow than usual, I will have lots and lots of time to read. 

I have been fortunate to be able to participate in almost all of the First Look book discussion and marvel at the high caliber books we have been given. 

I have two very large dogs and live in the work-in-progress farmhouse where I grew up.   My hobbies are reading, crafts (right now it's knitting), farming on facebook, and lawn mowing ten months out of the year.

I am a fan of both Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell so I'm really excited to read this one.  As a library worker, I love doing reader advisory and this could be a good one to recommend for readers who have already exhausted Larsson and Mankell.

Just got confirmed!  Can't wait to participate and read a great book!!

[scientistsolte…]

I just got confirmed too and I can't wait to start reading 3 seconds. I am currently reading Vixen which is my first look and I am loving it!

haha i use to be addicted to farmville as well...but you live on a farm so you get the best of both worlds ....what kind of crafts do you do? hope its not to cold up there...but maybe thats a good thing..because you can cuddle up with the dogs and books!!

[liisa22]

Hi everyone!!

I am already WAY behind here.  Here's to hoping I am confirmed!  

My name is Lisa and I am a HS Special Ed-English Teacher in NC, just outside of Charlotte.  I have participated in many First Looks.  This one looks to be quite interesting! 

OH-  I am also a reader-mod in the Classics, so I invite you to hop over and jump in, start your own discussions, whatever!

Paul mentioned "Steig Larsson" so I'll give Three Seconds a try

Steig Larsson also caught my eye!!
