Welcome back Betsy
Have fun Karen--sun and fun, yeah!

I'm still hip deep in contractors and going bonkers--the fun part has not begun yet and I just heard the restoration process will probably take at least 3 weeks. Sigh. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, yup.

This is just a gentle reminder to complete your Secret Santa, if you haven't already.

Nominations ???

feeds@yuku.com (BCCJillster) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:54:14 GMT

When do you all want to do the nominations and voting? Should we wait until just after Thanksgiving to begin or do you want to start now? We won't be reading anything as a group again until January anyway (after High Wind).

What do you think?

A High Wind in Jamaica NO SPOILERS-Dec 12, 2009

Deb posted some excellent advice in a different thread and thought it was a good way to open this one:

PBee said: I started High Wind last night and I have a bit of advice- skip the introduction, I almost didn't want to read the book! But I persevered and started the book and it wasn't as described in the introduction.

Year of Wonders--Extra credit read Nov 09

feeds@yuku.com (BCCJillster) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:31:02 GMT

Three of us have read YEAR OF WONDERS by Geraldine Brooks and Sandra and Rema are joining in. Anyone else? Here's the conversation from the What I'm Reading Now thread.

Jill
I'm about halfway through Year of Wonders by G. Brooks and it's stunning. Although in theory it should feel very like Last Town on Earth because they're both about town besieged by killing diseases, but they are so different. The Brooks is set in a very small...

STUPID CHATROOM IS OUT OF SERVICE! AIM?

feeds@yuku.com (BCCJillster) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:25:48 GMT

I just checked the support board and the stupid thing won't be fixed til after the weekend. Soooo inconsiderate. We can reschedule or just chat on AIM--Chris, do you have access to AIM?

Funniest books?

feeds@yuku.com (BCCJillster) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:12:59 GMT

What one or two books would you call the funniest you've read? Books that may not be in the humor genre but made you chuckle. With the dark of winter upon us, I for one could use a giggle.

Happy Birthday Jodi & Karen
