Jan, it is we who might spoil it for you if we start discussing it. It is a great read, though.

I think Clarice is still reading, and I'm not sure of who else.

Don't rush, the queen may be holding out for her
pink crownbefore discussion commences.

Yes, I am still reading.  I was sidetracked with grandchildren here this week-end.  If you all want to go on with the discussion, it is fine with me ...... I just won't look at this thread until I am ready to contribute ....... or, my curiosity gets the best of me!   :o

I check in here every now and again ...

The Potato book - on the waiting list at the library (very long wait - but that is OK) as is the The Book of Negros (have been on the list for months).  I will hold off for awhile checking in again here.

Oddly enough - I just finished the first and second of the Outlander series.  I enjoyed the first one - but found the second one a bit tiring. I find it funny that the first book was first published in 1994 (ish) and is still so popular. 

I am struggling through 'Three Cups of Tea' as well as one of the books in the 'Mistress in the Art of Death' series - well, actually, just really struggling.  [I read books simulataneously - one in bed, and one on the subway when not on the blackberry]

I have numerous other books on the waiting queue at the library so maybe one of the inbound books will coincide with the book club read one day.

I need some inspiration - maybe I should spend the money and buy the Potato book.

Hey, Ann!  I tried to get into Three Cups of Tea also, but never could.  It was highly recommended to me, but I gave up on it.  The Outlander series can be exhausting with all the struggles they go through, but do hang in there with them - it's so worth it!  The next/last in the series comes out this month.  Those of us who are Outlander "junkies" (Anne Marie, Tisha, etc) are VERY excited.

The Potato book is definitely a great read - our library had a huge waiting list as well.  So, I just ended up buying, though I try not to buy too many books (Outlander being one exception ;) ).

Will be watching for the discussion when the "queen" says it's time!

To Ann (and Cindy too),

I think it is a book worth buying, since it is very likely you can find some friends or family who would enjoy reading it as well. It is that kind of book.

Cindy,

Sept 22 is just around the corner.   Can't wait to read what's new with Jamie and Claire, in An Echo of the Bone.  Such a great date, my 25th wedding anniversary  ;D

Also on Sept 15 Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol hits the stands.  Lots and lots of good reading and great gifts for the holidays.

If this is a hijack, opps  :o  :o  so sorry but I really do enjoying reading and theses are just suggestions  ;)

Anne Marie,

If you mention a book title, it is automatically not a hijack. We often discuss book titles to read, as well as occasionally an actual book.  :)

Does anyone else feel like we should be forming The Guernsey Literary, Potato Peel Pie, and Acoustic Neuroma Society?

Works for me.  But would we all have to move to Guernsey?

I like that!  Maybe we do need to all move to our own island where everyone can empathize with everyone else!  I, for one, would not object AT ALL to island life - neither would Dave!! ;D
