Hey, all my favorite book lovers! What would you like to do with the last couple of book club selections? They are: February book selection - Monster of Florence - still to be discussed March book selection - The Thirteenth Tale - still to be discussed
Has anyone read either and if you have, can we get together for a discussion? We could discuss both books in one chat, if you like.
Let me know what you'd like to do! I think each of these books is a great read, and I'm happy to discuss any or all, whatever you'd like.
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." ~ Charles W. Eliot Brenda
I did read Monster of Florence, have not read Thirteenth Tale yet. I would love to join in a discussion about the Monster Of Florence. Secret life of the Bees is on my list to read, I'll be getting that book soon. So, I am open to anything really.
Works for me! I'd like to get back on track with our wonderful book club chats. How's this Sunday at 2:00 P.M.? I'm available then, and if that isn't good, then let's choose another date. Panda, have you read the book? Can you join us on Sunday?
"I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book." ~ Groucho Marx Brenda
I've read The Monster of Florence and The Secret Life of Bees, however, I have a commitment for Sunday and can't join the discussion. Perhaps I can send a few impressions in ahead of time. I'll miss all of you
As I am on Hawaii time, I can pretty much do any day,since 2 pm Mountain time is like 1000 am my time here,I should be able to make it.I have somewhat strong opinions about this book, and I'd like to hear what everyone else thought of it.
I'm usually flexible except for Tuesday nights when I have Italian class, and I'll be busy Easter weekend. I can certainly plan around any other time that works for you all.
What about this Saturday, April 4th...does this work for everyone? Nancy, is that day better for you? I can set aside time that day, 2:00 P.M., or later or earlier...let me know what works best!
"The fascinating story unfolds with memorable characters and dizzying plot twists that could come off as far-fetched if the book was fictional. The writing is evocative, and the two collaborators skillfully weave the narratives back and forth to create, at times, a razor's edge of tension." ~ Chicago Tribune Brenda
Tomorrow, tomorrow... Book Chat at 2:00 P.M. MST in the Gold Star Chat Room. Please join us, even if you haven't read Monster of Florence. We'd be delighted with your company!
"Tom Cruise was gripped by The Monster of Florence, which sold 300,000 copies in the U.S. When he met Mr Spezi at the Italian premiere of Valkyrie in Rome in January, he told him his character would be the star of the film. "I met Cruise with Christopher McQuarrie, his screenwriter," said Mr Spezi. "Tom said they weren't interested in making yet another film about a serial killer but were fascinated by the story of how two writers got caught up in the investigation and suffered the consequences." ~ Peter Popham Brenda
