My daughter is 14 and doesn't like to read, although she is a wonderful, straight A student. What went wrong? Computers, that's what. And Sims. The whole series, except the last one. She will be a Freshman in high school come September and the books the kids are reading seem to be vampire-ish in nature. I'm so over that. What kinds of books should she/could she/will she read of her own accord? We go to Barnes & Nobles to check out books that be of interest to her, then put them on hold at the library. Still, she won't read, What would you suggest? IS there a list of most popular teen books? That might excite her a bit. Just to know what other kids area reading from coast-to-coast. Maybe you could start a webpage from your library. I sure could use some help.
Jodi is my all-time favorite female writer. I think I have every book she has written, but haven't read all the older ones. Her next one out (Spring 2011) is going to cover gay adoption. Can't wait to see what she does with that. She always has such thought-provoking topics.
I think I've read all of Jodi's books, she's my all time favorite!

Try signing up for an "ebook" online at Amazon.com or bn.com, that is if you don't mind reading it on your PC or laptop. I have a Kindle, and I just downloaded it. I'm also checking to see if it's available in an unabridged audio version at Audible.com (Parent Company - Amazon). I listen to lots of books from my Audible.com library online.
You can join in and post at any time. Can't wait to get started... "see" you at VN Book Club!

We will start on Monday April 26th. We will be posing questions for the discussion - so join in and start posting... even if your book hasn't arrived you can join in. We are talking about mid aged women... and we all know that stuff by heart!
Aileen, you are a role model to us all - and I for one would second the motion to include one of your books in a future book club choice!
So excited to join this book. Everyone that knows me says they've never seen anyone who reads as much as I do!
I'm in...I just ordered the book and I can't wait to get started.

Wonderful! I live in a small town and I should start my own but too too busy. Thanks for all your time and effort in putting this together.

AMY FERRIS ROCKS! I just bought three more copies for friends.
Hi
I just stumbled across this web site. I am an avid reader, belong to 2 book clubs and look forward to recommendations and reviews on this site. I am also an author and have co written a book "Life As A Mother-in-Law" and I wonder if you would consider reading and/or recommending our book.
Hello everyone! The VN book club discussion of Marrying George Clooney by Amy Ferris has officially begun! To join the conversation, please click here:
I love to read and although I have tried to start a couple of book clubs with friends, they always seem to fall through. I think this will be a lot of fun and look forward to seeing how it all unfolds. I will order the book ASAP! Thanks ladies! : )
I received Small Pleasures today with a note from Frances. I just want to thank VN and Frances for this lovely book. I'm not sure where to post this. I also received from Amazon today Marrying George Clooney....so far it's a total HOOT!
Still waiting for Marrying George Clooney to arrive from Amazon!
let us know when it arrives!!!!!!
so much love scubaJudy!

Talk about being a dummy! I forgot that I had ordered it for my Kindle to get it faster and found it earlier this week when I started to think about checking with Amazon on its status. I've laughed and laughed over the parts I've already read.
YAY! well, that just makes me so so very happy.
all my love,
amy
The book is worth the waiting. I'm sure you'll love to read it when you get it. I did.
did you ever get the book????????????????
I just love it. Reading is my passion, along with writing! Can we nominate our own books for consideration? My non-fiction account of living in Eastern Europe during the tumultuous 1990's, is available on Amazon! Romance readers can check out New Music and bless me with their critiques, ideas and input! How awesome to belong to a book club that I can tune into as I am able, even at 2:00 A.M. in my pajamas!
Looking forward to being a part of this!!
Yes I have never been in a book club. Thanks for the opportunity.
I am in several book clubs, hence the name, Overbooked. Hope you enjoy this club--I think one of the best things about book clubs in general (besides the discussions, of course) is that often you find yourself reading books you wouldn't normally choose for yourself and/or authors that are new to you.
Oh, wow! I was hoping we could do The Journal Keeper next. Now I get to read it again. What a treat. Thanks.
I think that will be the next book
I'm in. I'm late, but I'm in. :-)
I'm in a book club already with 8 other ladies. We're called the "Ms.Quotes" and we meet once a month. I'm so looking forward to being in your too!

I just had my book, Sanctuary of the Soul published: www.soulpoetry.org.....Poems of anguish, healing, hope comfort and celebration. My endorsements: Elie Wiesel, Wayne Dyer, Nikki Giovanni, Alice Miller, Dr. Larry Dossey, Patricia Evans (14 in all). I have also written my (unpublished) memoir: Ghost Child to Triumph (from a child with no voice, to someone who speaks up against injustice.
Kind Regards, Alicia
How do we get out hands on your book?
www.soulpoetry.org is where you can order my book, and thank you so much!
For Sanctuary of the Soul......I'd love to have you sign my guestbook, also.
Working on getting my memoir published...but my poetry book came first.

I just joined, when does the next book start?
I'm new here and I was thrilled to see that you have a book club!! Please count me in!!
I would like to suggest the author Emilie Richards who has recently written Happiness Key. This is the first of a trilogy. Emilie writes about friendships. Women of different ages, cultures, status & life. Please explore the idea of this being one of our books to read. Thank you, Judy
This is just what I have been looking for ! Glad I came upon this site and received an email as to joining...looking forward to starting and catching up with you all.

Sadly, Dr. Vivian Diller is not listed in our county library, which surprises me. However, I do have a hold now on the copy of Kathy Kinney's book. Is she the lady who plays "Mimi" on the Drew Carey Show? By the way, Drew Carey lost 8- lbs over the last few years. What a task, eh?
