Anyone interested in doing a group read?

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

I cam across this on my to-read list and thought it would be perfect for us as a group read! And that's when I thought we could do a group read every so often, keeping the books (fiction and non) in the gardening theme! Orange Mint and Honey A Novel

What does everyone think?!

Count me in! Barbara
I just finished the book last night and thought that it was a good read. I don't want to say to much since others may still be reading! Barbara

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

Great!

What I forgot to mention is that if we get into doing group reads here, I'd like to keep it to just 1 a season, so this would be our Summer read. (That way anyone who wants to participate has time to get the book, read it and discuss it along with all the other things, reading and gardening we do!)

I love your avitar Jelly Jo!

Sounds like fun to do a group read. Cute dog Kelly Jo.

Hee Hee...gotta love typos...I've never been called Jelly Jo before. Sorry...had to mention how funny I found that. :)

That is our newest "little sis..."

Sorry about that, lol!!!!

I'm in on the read. Gonna pick it up tonight!

[Barbara]

Just picked up the book and ready to read. I just wish I did not have six hundred books to read at garden time as well as good weather to enjoy, work, and all of those other annoying little things;} Just like Jello, there is always room for books!

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

I picked it up & started it Friday!

I love the idea of doing one or so a season & keeping the reads garden themed! I think I'm going to start a book shelf where we can add our suggestions for the group reads. (I'll do that in the next couple of days). This way it's also a great reference for us when we're looking for one on our own.

[Cyd]

My copy is at the library, I'll pick it up tomorrow.

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

Yay!

[Katie]

Oh! My library has the audio. It's checked out, but due back 6/1 so I placed a request. It will only take me a few days to finish during my commute.

[Cyd]

Well it just wasn't my morning. I stopped by a thrift shop on my way to the library and found a candle. It had no price tag, so they wouldn't sell it. Then when I got to the library my hold had been misplaced. Somewhere in limbo they said. So to console myself I stopped at my favorite plant store on the way home and bought 2 more tomatoes, a lantana, and dahlias. The library said they would find it and call me soon.

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

Aaawww Cyd I'm sorry you had a rough day! I hope the tomato's, lantana and dahlia's helped! (Odd they wouldn't just come up w/a price for the dern candle!)

Katie, I never think of audio! I should see if the main has this one.

[Katie]

That stinks, Cyd. I hope they find your hold soon!

[Katie]

I just got an e-mail that my hold is ready for me at the library. I'll pick it up on my lunch hour tomorrow and start it as soon as I finish True Believer on CD, probably Wednesday.

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

It's REALLY good!

[Katie]

I started this on audio during my commute home last night and I'm already hooked!

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

Who's reading it Katie?

I think I'm going to post some discussion questions to get us talking about it when we get back from vacation next week. Off to Gettysburg tomorrow! Can't wait!

[Katie]

Cherise Boothe is the reader. I've never listened to anything by her before, but she's good.

[Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie]

I finished the book last night and I LOVED it!

I've posted some discussion Qs in a separate thread.
