Oh by the way - I waited almost 2 months in line at my library for Swan Thieves! She obviously created a following after Historian.

OMG! You have got to read the Historian! It was the best book I have read in a long time. For the first 2 chapters, I wasn't sure if it was fiction or not! It's great!

I have the Historian but haven't gotten to it yet. I'll be on the look out for Swan Thieves, even the title sounds good!

There's not a March reading discussion yet, so I'm promoting my current read here. I just started "Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova. It's 561pages and I'm already half way through it. It's very different from her first book, "The Historian", but she just takes you by the hand, and gently leads you through the story. It's not exciting like her first one, but she just keeps you turning the pages, because you just need to find out what in the world is happening to the main character. It's very good.

I think that's a good idea, LaQuita. Everyone's book-reading interests are so diverse, that it's hard to come up with titles that everyone would be interested in reading, so this will give a list that everyone might find more interesting.

Sounds good to me. I may need a couple of weeks to read it instead of one. I'm involved in quite a few book tours coming up for my blog but I think I can read it in 2 weeks.

Hey ladies,

I wanted to go ahead and retry the book club idea. I know that we all can't either afford or our book stores might not have the same books without pre-ordering so how about we read some of the free novels that I've posted in the freebie section? I'll go ahead and make a thread for it here. But this way we all can read the same books, have weekly chats about it and more. What do you think???

Ok, I went to the public library this week.......the book I'm reading now is....."NOTORIOUS" BY Kiki Swanson. So far it's really good getting interesting.

Hi Jenn! Well............ the idea was that we read the book suggestions and then chat about them, but it hasn't quite come to fruition yet. At the moment, we've gotten as far as agreeing to read Sundays at Tiffanys by the end of the holidays, and hopefully chatting about it then. There are other discussions in the Book Nook to offer reading ideas - usually monthly updates. Welcome to the Book Nook! I understand not having too much time to really read a book. I think we're all in the same boat on that one! : )

Hi All,
Just joined :) Do we all read the same book and chat about it or is this more of a group to give each other suggestions??
I love reading although with little ones it's mostly kids books. I read a couple pages before bed usually... but I would really like something to motivate me to read more... maybe this could help :)
