ANA Book Club?

[Soundy]

Friday Night Knitting Club is good for me ...

Been lurking here last few days...when I hit post and losing anything I have typed... bad phone
connection and computer running slow... faster this morning maybe it will work...crossing eyes

The possibility that Charlie was the twins father was always in the back of my mind and
I think maybe Isabelle made an effort to break free of him by marrying and when her husband
died was drawn back to him because the husband's (forgot his name ) family rejected her and she
had no other place to go ...

I wonder how much of Charlie's mental illness he was born with  and how much a result of
parental neglect? ...or a combination of both...He may have been  ill and it was multiplied  by the lack
of attention from his father and the loss of his mother ... it seems like little hints were given he was not
just right even before his mother's death ...

I am stiill in Branson - I am fine with whatever...did anyone look at the discussion questions at the back of the book?  I was going to look at that & see if there was something good we left out, but don't have it here.  I like Steve's suggestion of starting the other and still be open to discuss this if we want...I'll be home Thursday...

I looked at the questions at the back of the book last night.  Some of them we discussed, some of them we didn't.

Sounds like The Friday Night Knitting Club it is.  Any ideas on what date we should start discussing?

So, The Friday Night Knitting Club really is a book??  Who's the author?  I'll try to get it in the next few days...

Cindy J (not to be confused w/ the new Cindy)

Hi "old" Cindy    LOL

yes, it is a book.  The author is Kate Jacobs - got that off the book cover; I've never heard of her before.

I purchased my book at Sam's Club, but I've also seen it at Target, Walmart, and Books a Million.  It's a paperback and it's been out for a little while, so it shouldn't be too expensive.

Hey everyone,

I didn't get to read Thirteenth Tale because I was too busy--and I couldn't find it. Summer vacation with 3 kiddies. I'm worn out!!!

I am going to Walmart today and will look for "Friday night knitting club".

I just finished reading a book by James Patterson called "Sundays at Tiffany's". Beautiful story. Not his normal stuff, but his love stories are just as good.

Shy -

3 kiddies and summer!  I'm tired just imagining this 

I just finished The Story of Marriage and I really, really liked it.  I highly recommend it to everyone.  I've read a few James Patterson's but not a lot; I'll have to check out Sundays at Tiffany's.

It would be great if you join us for Friday Night Knitting Club.  Happy shopping - and a word of advice, try to shop without the kiddies - you'll be able to spend less!

I took my son to Sam's Club on Sunday and my bill was twice what it normally is!  Guess I'll have to start leaving him at home

Jan-

Took your advice and left the two older ones at home. Took the youngest because he doesn't ask for stuff. Found the book rather quickly and it looks very interesting. Can't wait to start reading it. Of course, I'll have to wait until the hethens(sp?)go to sleep!!!

James Patterson has a new one out titled "Sail". I was so tempted to buy it.

I received the book from Amazon yesterday! Do we have a finish date?

Take care all!

Mary -

glad you have the book.

No one has set a finish date yet.  Any suggestions from anyone?

Jan

[cindyj]

Bought the book tonight, but know I can't start it til next week - got to finish my Cleopatra book.  Heading to Little Rock tomorrow and won't be back til Sun night.  So I'll "see" you guys Monday.

Should we shoot for discussion to start on July 14th?  or is that too early?

I'll be in NJ, but will have my laptop so I'll be able to participate.

What do you guys say?

Jan

[Kaybo]

I'M BACK!!!!!!!

I am reading another book right now, but the 14th should be OK for me.  I will be getting ready to go back to Baltimore, but will have access to a computer even while I am gone!

K -

what other book are you reading now?

Just curious,

You know me, just the fluff.  I just finished the new Janet Evanovich (14) and it was so funny.  I just laugh at those books - it is about a Jersey girl so I can see that Lori gets her humor & ways honestly by being raised there!  Now I am reading a Christian fiction book - I just picked up one that was cheap at WalMart on our trip.  It made me think of you, b/c it is about a girl in Chicage and the World's Fair...it is pretty good!
