Hello everyone! My name is Jess and I am from Des Moines, Iowa. I work full time and go to school full time (I am an English Minor), and I have never quite been able to get into the "First Look" groups before. I always miss the enrollment deadline. But after much dedication and monitoring I have received my confirmation message and I am greatly looking forward to reading,Three Seconds! I think my biggest challenge is going to be reading out of an actual book for a change. Ha! I have been doing everything on my Nook. I almost forget how to turn the pages of an actual book, nor will I be able to adjust my font size. 
Looking forward to receiving my copy and getting started on this new adventure! Until then...
Hi JDanow,
I also have trouble adjusting to a "real" book after using my nook so much. Once I tried to look up a word, but realized I wasn't reading with my nook

My name is Rose. Too funny. I only recently started using a Nook and I love it. Already it will feel strange to be turning pages in a real book and not be able to make the font larger. I must sound like a spoiled brat, but I guess that's what a Nook does to me!

I agree! Paul and his crew have really opened avenues to new genres and authors. Thanks everyone at B&N!

Reading many different types of literature during the course of this book club have been extremely enjoyable. I would not have chosen to read Eternal on the Water, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Of Bees and Mist. or Songs for the Missing, all wonderful books.
Thanks to Paul and the others at B&N for choosing these selections and for providing me the opportunity to read and to discuss them with this group.
Welcome to First Look, Laura! It's good to have you with us.

I live in Noblesville, Indiana and have a wonderful husband, who reads as obsessively as I do, and two daugthers, one a senior in high school and the oldest in Graduate School in Ithaca, NY. I am lucky to have a family that enjoys reading so much we have our own little "book clubs". Enough about me....looking forward to our discussions!!
