This is a great list. Sorry I’m so late in commenting…bronchitis laid me low for a few weeks. I’m looking forward to next year.

[Shirley]

Thank you, Lynne, for organizing this schedule. This is an exciting list.

I hope you're feeling better now, Sue. I lost a week recently because of a bad head cold, but I'm down to just a tickle in my throat now.

I won't be able to participate this month, but I have both books for February. How exciting!

Great! We always love to have new people become active participants.

Hi, All.
I've been having a hard time keeping up with all my reading. I see some titles here that I will be adding to my list, and chiming in on in the posts.
Looking forward to the discussions.

I just edited the schedule to include the nonfiction choice in May. Gina, can you let me know who nominated that so I can list the discussion leader? Thanks!

[Ann D]

Lynn, I nominated THE WAGER, and would be happy to lead the discussion in May.

[Lynn]

Great! Thanks for letting me know, Ann.
