Kate & Kay -

I'm definitely "in" on the discussion, although at this point I've read a few more books by this author; and I read this particular book a few months ago.

Bottomline, I might have to remember the plot of this book as you discuss it, but I'm fairly sure it will all come back to me and I'll be able to participate somewhat intelligently  ;)

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Hi K,
I'm in, but my book is not.  I'll join in the previously scheduled programming already in progress when it does though!

I reserved the book at the library and I'm a slow reader, so you may be done by the time I get started!

I'll check the posts periodically to get in on the discussion.

I read the book about a year ago, so I'll be like Jan - joining in as the discussion goes on, and hoping I can remember the plot ...

BTW, I'm reading the newest Robin Cook paperback.  Very glad I didn't read it BEFORE I got the post surgical infection!

OK - so here is the deal!  I wanted to start the discussion next Friday (Halloween), but we are having company from out of town so that would be kind of rude...SSSOOOO, we can either start now or wait until the 5th (Dave is having a little surgery on another skin cancer place on the 4th)...anyone have input??

I vote for wait too...I am about half way through ...been busy with school carnival prep and not finished
it ... tomorrow night is carnival then plan to be unconscious Saturday ... nine year old has a drama team
performance Sunday morning at church and then Sunday evening at another church... unconscious again
Monday and then I may get back to book Tuesday if skip house cleaning and feeding of family

My DIL has put together a drama team at church ... my youngest joined them... they are doing songs with
modern dance and signing ...kinda neat watching them... and I have learned to read the signs so that if someone
came along and signed Shout to The Lord or Precious Lamb of God to me , I could  understand them...
don't know how useful that will be but it is a start to learning sign language...  :) ..

Hi,

I was very wonkyheaded yesterday afternoon so I got about half of the book read instead of doing work around the house. I will be ready by the 5th. THANK you, Kay! I am fine with waiting further, if decided that way.

Take care all!

It is just one of those that you can't put down...your mind keeps wanting to put the pieces together.
