So I'll join in here. The Time Traveler's Wife.
Is that OK that Cindy already read it?

Hope not . . . I read Sarah's Key well before the discussion.

Speaking of which, when does the discussion begin? Do we just start checking in as we've read it? I have it on hold at the library, and it should be in within a week or ten days.

The Time Traveler's Wife it is, then. I will get started on it.

I think you will find this is not a very well organized club, we just kind of muddle along through it. We can start discussing when enough people want to. I think we even tried discussing a book while still reading it one time. Not sure it worked too well, but it doesn't always work anyway. The main thing is to get in some good reading.

We did have a book club queen at one time, though. :)

OK, I just picked up a copy of The Time Traveler's Wife and I am going to try very hard to keep up with all of you .....  :-[

One of the things that has been slow to return is reading comfort.  Initially I had double vision following surgery (only a few days), but then I continued to have difficulty following a line of text in a book.  Only recently do I feel like I am back to my previous reading comfort and speed.

The blurp on the jacket of The Time Traveler's Wife looks to be an interesting read.

Enjoy your reading, guys!  I'll try to skim back over it to refresh my memory on some of the details.  I won't say anything about what I thought about it until y'all are finished with it...well, I'll try, anyway ;)

They didn't have it at the branch I was at last night at the library & I thought I'd go to another today to get it but was waiting on the AC repairman. Long & short, left town w/o getting it. If i see anyplace to get it, I will. Is it hard or paperback & how recently released is it? When I told my friend the author's name, I realized that her initials are AN - I thought that was kind of ironic!  The AN Book Club is reading a book by AN!! ;D

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 (Steve is 55)

I have read about the first 100 pages. I am enjoying the time traveler aspect quite a bit, it is a very interesting and fun twist, and it is handled nicely, not like science fiction but as just another fact of life. I wonder how a time traveler would handle an AN. :)

I have a paperback too, it is about 500 pages, so it is the bigger kind of paperback, with 14.95 printed on the back, although I think I got it for less than that.

When I am queen I will wear a pink crown.

I couldn't find  the Time Traveler's Wife at the library either. I'll check the used book store, and also the library said it won't be long....
