I've never done one of these before, but the book sounds interesting, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I'm getting married this weekend. Probably won't get the book in time to read on our honeymoon.
Oh well!!!!

McMommy wrote:Hello! My name is Lynn, and if you guys accept me, this will be my first First Look. I'm super excited about it. I live in North Carolina, and I'm a home health nurse on third shift. Since most of my patients are sleeping and I'm mostly watching monitors and intervening when needed, I get a LOT of time to read books. I never leave home without my nook or a good hardcopy of a book to keep me company! I'm looking forward to participating in this First Look, and hopefully more in the future!

I'm an avid reader and love the opportunity to read new books and different authors. My Dad got me started reading early and always has a stack (really about 10 stacks) of books to pass on when I visit.

Welcome to First Look, Lakeshia! It's good to have you with us. ![]()

I'm a drama girl but I enjoy reading novels by Kristin Hannah, Janet Evanovich and Patricia Cornwell. I'm a fan of the Millennium Trilogy by Steig Larsson. If Three Seconds is like those novels, I will definitely enjoy it. I hope that I do receive a copy so I can start reading it. I look forward to discussing books with you.

Hi, Lisa. Welcome to First Look! I participated in classes at the old BNU as well, and find the community here in the book clubs fantastic. I'm glad you found us. ![]()

Hi all, This looks like a great group. I've never done a First Look discussion but I did do some book groups back when B&N University existed and loved it. I'm Lisa in Ann Arbor -- a great little city. I'm a part time engineer, a part time writer, and a full time mom. I can't wait to get my hands on the book. I've been reading mostly ebooks lately and I somehow miss holding the real thing in my hands. But don't even try taking my ereader from me.

Hello all,
I am Naomi and currently live at Fort Benning, GA. I love to read and among the 75 books I've read so far this year are Larsson's books and one by Mankell. I really like mysteries and crime fiction. I have a degree in Forensic Chemistry, but am currently working full time in the beverage and flavor industry. This would be my first time joining a book discussion group of any kind. Besides reading, I like to quilt, and am an active member of postcrossing.com (postcard collecting/penpalling) and swap-bot.com where you can sign up for different swaps involving items you collect or craft. I have 2 daughters (14 and 3) that keep me busy as well. But there is always time for reading!
