Also, as one of the readers in this club. I would like to take this chance to thank Lisa for making this a very enjoyable club. You have truly given us food for thought and a greatly entertaining book too. In many ways, this has been a much more intimate club with the fewer numbers of people. I thank you for doing this book club Lisa and will be keeping an eye on your website for the books to come. Also I would like to thank all of my fellow readers in here too. You guys have made this such a good club! Some very real and honest talk about things. I have really enjoyed it so much and am so glad each and everyone of you were here to discuss things with. Its been great

Hello Vivico,
Was surprised at all of the new threads. Since I am still reading multiple books and Peony in Love is one of them that I want to continue to enjoy without spoilers...I will thank Lisa now and come back when I have finished the book and will comment then.
I have already thanked Lisa for her time and "big investment of herself" to this discussion. She really has had a huge author presence which is terrific to see. I did purchase Peony in Love and do want to spend some time with the novel without rushing the reading.
Be back when I have finished my homework..(all of my reading)..
Take care,
Bentley

Take care Bentley, and some of the new threads you can post to without being finished, so you might want to read the question anyway. They are actually from Lisa, not me, I just posted them on a thread for her

Take care Bentley, and some of the new threads you can post to without being finished, so you might want to read the question anyway. They are actually from Lisa, not me, I just posted them on a thread for her
Understood..but I just finished Mayflower and am now turning my attention back to Peony and don't want to ruin my discoveries...but good of you to help out here. I will post as I catch up. But have enjoyed all of the discussion thus far. I can see that you are up late as well.
Take care,
Bentley

Now I'd be a pathetic dumbass if I didn't say I hope you'll all recommend Peony in Love to your friends. (Gotta try to sell some books, after all.)

Well, Vivian beat us to the punch
Thanks for sharing so much of your time and energy with our community! It was great to have you on the boards!
And for those of you still enjoying Peony in Love, don't be shy about asking posting any lingering questions or comments this week!

Now, that is not being a (dumbass) hey! its a wonder they don't blink that off! Hey! we get to use alittle slang around here. But you are far from being a dumbass, Lisa. That makes you a smart cookie to advertise your wonderful books. Noone is a dumbass that writes this good!

Thank you to all my fellow readers. This has been a great group, reminiscent of the old BNU days. I hope to talk with you all again soon!
Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

Please see my note in the Community Room. I am doing The Septembers of Shiraz and The Emperor's Children.

You're not a pathetic dumbass Lisa,, we know a good thing when we read it too! I've already been recommending your book and I'm looking forward to your next one. Thank you for joining us this month. I've learned so much and enjoyed it at the same time. We've had a great group and really interesting discussions. We may have been small but we've been lively! I will be watching for you to join us again.
~Debbie
Thank you Lisa for a very interesting adventure. I had difficulty getting into the book in the beginning as I don't know my Chinese history, but once I got into it ... awwww ... I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed reading about the spiritual beliefs, customs, traditions. I enjoyed the love story. I look forward to seeing you again!

Lisa,
I hate for this to end! Thank you for a fun month, a great book, all you have taught us and giving me a new favorite author. This experience was so much more than I ever anticipated. I am fascinated with the culture and traditions you taught us about and I look forward to learning even more. Thank you for being so accessible and "real". I look forward to joining you in another club.
Debbie

The last few weeks I wasn't able to post as often as I wanted, but I tried to keep up with the discussion. I want to thank Lisa for writing such an a wonderful book and being such a frequent participant in this group. The book taught me so much about that culture and time, and I loved watching Peony's development. The plot and the research that went into it are amazing! I'd finished reading the book before the discussion started, so I knew I liked it. After this discussion, I like it even more as I discovered things I hadn't noticed at first reading. I know I will reread Peony in Love and recommend it to friends. And of course, I look forward to Lisa's next book. Thank you all again. Pat
Sorry you didnt get to post in this discussion. It was really a great discussional book!
Maybe her next book you can join in. She is a wonderful author.
