Thank you! I'm looking forward to the discussions. This will be new for me, having never participated in a book club/group before.

[Janice, Moderator]

Welcome Rhonda! We'd love for you to join us in the alphabet challenge and in the other activities we have in the group.

Hi Rhonda! The Alphabet Challenge is a good one - but be warned of all the lists, spreadsheets, piles, and reorganizing it can cause :) Or you might be like me, and not get any further in planning than the current letter. It's really a lot of fun either way!

[AmyK]

Lists, spreadsheets, and piles......OH MY!!

I have been sadly lacking in my thread reading duties this month sooooooo......

Welcome to YLTO Steph, Kristin, Terra, Jane, Sarah, Rachel, Allison, Jason, Julia, and Rhonda!!!! I hope you all have fun and love it here as much as I do.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Marty. I like contemporary literature, historical fiction, 20th century history, young adult (sometimes), dystopian fiction (when it's exceptional), memoir, biography.

I am native Vermonter transplanted to California. Both feel like home. I'm retired so I have plenty of time for books, film, art, California, word games and much more,

[Janice, Moderator]

Hi Marty! Welcome to our group. There should be lots here to feed your diverse tastes.

Oakland, the best of the Mediterranean climate in the Bay Area! I love it here!
