My favorite coffee comes from a bakery in San Francisco, le Boulange. They have their own special. When I go to the city to visit my family, I always try to come home with a pound or 2 or 3 or 4.
Colette...People of the Book is on my to-read list. Did you read March? I loved that book!
I am looking for a good book and discussion!
Just finished reading the book.This was the second time I read it, and I still found it enjoyable.
As for Lakeshia's comments about Berendt stretching the truth.
I believe he does fudge with the time line, and adds a story telling quality to his writing, but all those characters do exists. I remember watching an A&E documentary on the book after the first time I read it. All the characters in all their crazy glory gave interviews and told their thoughts on the murder, Jim Williams, Berendt and "The Book" as the good people of Savannah kindly refer to "Midnight..."
I read this book years ago. I am up for reading it again.I just picked up The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, it is Oprah's book club book which is usually a big no for me, but it has got some very good reviews.
That might be a good second choice.
read the book already, let me know when ready to discuss. C
I have read Twilight, but would like hear what everyone thinks of it, especially with the movie coming out in November.
Summer is going to be busy. My daughter has back to back camps till the last 2 weeks in July and then we are sneaking off to Mendocino to cool off from the heat.
Good to see your are back.It is that strange time of year in Northern California where you run the heater in the morning and the air conditioner at night.
Since it is now noon my morning coffee cup is in the dishwasher and now I am onto diet coke. It is thing with me, for some strange reason I cannot drink coke before noon. Even in an airport where I am told "there is no accounting for time of day" and vodka is served at 8 AM in the bar. ;)
Take care
Niki, The Girl with No Shadow will not be released until the end of April, but I got an Advanced Readers Edition form Abe Books. It was very inexpensive, more so than if I were to have waited and bought the hard copy in the store.My live and in person read is reading Chocolat this month with and I am leading the discussion. That is why I was on a mission to get the sequel. I almost ordered it from Amazon UK.
Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!I saw that it was hard when Adult Henry and Child Henry are together, but I liked the way her helped him. Taught him how to survive. It make for and idea of ever looping.
The foreshadowing and past memories throw even more confusion into the mix.
I still remember having a problem with Adult Henry and Child Clare's relationship. Do either of you?
I still cannot find my book, but you questions are comments have prompt my memory. But I remember right, after they get married it gets weirder.
Hmm.. Strange. I tried to just type test and it wants at least 5 characters.Try typing your name at the end of each post and see if that helps.
Bree-- That sounds like a great vacation. Your son must be so excited for this trip. You will have a great time. Take care!
Right now I am reading "The Girl with No Shadow" Joanne Harris' sequel to Chocolat. I am loving it. I am glad I read 5 Quarters of the Orange, because Vianne and Anouk spent some time in La Laveuses and some character from 5 Quarters are suppose to make an appearance.
I hopefully will finish this tomorrow and then I will start on Twilight.
Bree, where in California are you planning on visiting? Here in the Bay Area we are in full spring mode. Cool mornings and evenings warm afternoons.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!It is hard to follow, but here are some time lines. It might be better to post this closer to the end, but then again the way things jump around in this book it might help those who want the help. It is big spoiler, so only look if you want to.
This is a link to the blog "you know Jack" and the time lines are PDFs.

Have the book somewhere. Since I read it awhile back I do not plan to read it, but I will skim again for discussion. Happy Reading!

Rachel,I just left the book store with this book (The Monsters of Templeton). It sound very intriguing, and I have seen some good press on it. Have you started it?
