No need to be intimidated, it never takes long to find someone talking about either a book you've read, one you want to read, or just one that sounds good...and just start talkin'!
Welcome to the group Sherry! Good to know that you like to write as well. And there are so many discussions floating around on so many books here that eventually you will find some book you'd read. Just have fun!
Well, I'm from Michigan, like to write and read, and look forward to reading w/all of you!
