Reading Group Chatter
That must have been a huge box! And so many great titles in it! I hope you enjoy them all!
There are some wonderful ones in there! Lucky duck!
What a great box of books!!
Last night I finished POISON TREE by Erin Kelly, and it was well worth it. A barn-burner and a great read. This would be a good one for reading groups that want psychological suspense.
That's a great list. Enjoy!
Wow, that's a lot of books and so many of them look good too! I hope there are a lot of great book club picks in there.
Thank you for this - I have sent an email requesting more information. I hope to set up a call in February.
This makes my day - brings a smile to my heart.
"Well-said, Ruth! Sometimes, members of reading groups forget to go outside their comfort and read something new and different. Thanks so much for the reminder to "push the envelope" a bit."
That is so true. Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the same genre on this continual loop - listening to the recommendations of other reviewers really keeps me on my toes!
Happy New Year Barbara!
The Gentleman Poet's set in Bermuda, so I'm hoping it's a good one. Well, I really hope they're all good.
Thanks for the info, Amber!
It's also a Kindle cover.
In case some of you are interested, KQED's "The Writers' Block" just published an episode of Myla Goldberg reading from her new book:

If it's not always true, it always should be. Good choice!
I've got 2 teasers this week.
Excited to read this book! Thanks for sharing a teaser. My teaser is at The Crowded Leaf.
Wow...I love that last line.
Here's my teaser.
I am so jealous of the people who got ARCs of this book! Can't wait to read it!
I am anxiously awaiting my copy! Great teaser! My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesdays-voltaires-calligrapher....
I am reading The Distant Hours as well! I also have Eleanor the Queen on my shelf to read sooner than later, and His Last Letter also I must start soon!
I'm also reading Rot and Ruin, but there is no deadline on that one so I'm not getting to far in it, but it is sure an entertaining Zombie read! :0)
HI Barb! Wow all your books look so good! I would like to read all of these. Have a super week friend!
I haven't read a Pat Conroy book before but what a great teaser for book lovers, great choice.
My TT is from a horror.

This is a great teaser. I saw this book recently and was wondering about it. I'd definitely like to read it one of these days!
Enjoy!

Your teaser is a prime example of the powerful role parents play in the reading lives of their children. Conroy describes his mother's enjoyment of books in such a loving way. What a blessing for her to have a son who is a successful author!
I'm starting a beach read!! Can you believe it??!!
:)
What a great childhood he must have had! Just got an ARC of this one in the mail yesterday. Looks intriguing. It's always interesting to see what writers read.
Oh, I love books about books and reading! I'll have to go borrow My Reading Life from my library.
My teaser (for Lonely Werewolf Girl) is @ Stuff & Nonsense
Makes for quite the mental image. Fantastic teaser.
