Reading Group Chatter
Enjoyed reading Barbara D's post about her book group. I agree with her that authors' call-ins to book groups can be "intimate and compelling." Our book club has had several authors call in to our discussion and we have gain great insight from the author's comments and from the questions the authors have asked us! Looking forward to reading Not My Daughter.
Great post. love her books and my group read Family Tree. We select our books like Barbara -- once a year. We pick the books at our holiday party. Not My Daughter does sound good and could spark some great discussion within our group -- half our group doesn't have kids so their perspective would be interesting! Thanks for posting Barbara D's essay.
What an interesting story. How lucky is it to have Barbara Delinsky in your book club. Who would have thought it would have taken this long for one of her books to be chosen. Our club usually allows each member to choose a book, which pushes us to read things we wouldn't normally read. This past year we had a lot of great books to discuss, but the Art of Racing in the Rain was our winner. I can't wait to read Barbara Delinsky's new book. It sounds like it will be great for discussion.
That quiz was hard. I guessed one correctly as it was the book I was reading. I will definitely stay tuned so that I could do better next year.
I'm so happy you decided to join in. Have fun!
Happy new year.
Is it Barbara Delinsky?

There are several ways to react to being lost. One is to panic: this was usually Valentina's first impulse. Another is to abandon yourself to lostness, to allow the fact that you have misplace yourself to change the way you experience the world.
Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
