Some of us here have expressed an interest in a book club, myself, @mermadelove, @LCResz, @ZombieMetroAnt, @Mcakes. If you'd be interested in joining, reply below. My initial thought was to mail the books around but if it means that some people can't participate, then I'm all for dropping that requirement.

@greeneyedgirl107- I cried at the end too! Maybe you should bring Erma instead. You'll be laughing instead of crying. I have several of her books such as If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, Then Why am I in the Pits and The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank.
Enjoy your vacation!
Hi, @prettyinpa! I sometimes wonder if we're the only ones. You and I plus one or two (rotating) others post comments. I'd be happy talking about the book soon. Otherwise, like To Kill a Mockingbird, I'll forget what I have to say.
Discussion for To Kill a Mockingbird is now open!
Wow, what an amazing book. I can see why this one is a classic, and it still resonates today. It was so good and I was making such exclamations that my hubby read it after I finished and he thought it really good. He's super picky about books, so that's saying something. How did you all like the book?
@prettyinpa @tsavorite - This book was awesome! I can't believe I never read it in high school. I could really identify with the setting and the characters. My grandparents lived in a northern version of this town. Thanks for the info about the follow-up book. I was contemplating reading it, but I'm not going to bother now.
@tsavorite- I'm glad I reread it too. I vaguely remember it from high school and saw the movie a couple of years ago (movie only slightly resembles the book) and it's all new to me. I love that the book is from the perspective of Scout rather than some adult. And being taught by "The Dewey Decimal System", OMG, I was dying laughing. 😄
ETA: Remember "New Math"? That was such a failure, too.
I think that I may have read Mockingbird in Jr. High. It was new to me when I reread it now also. I remembered a little bit from the movie, as I read.
Is this a safe place to mention how much I did not like Harper's other book, Go Set A Watchman. I am practicing amnesia about Go Set A Watchman. It never happened.
@tsavorite- Fine place to mention your dislike of Go Set a Watchman, I read bad reviews of it and never bothered. A sequel could have been so good, but I heard that the book felt sloppy and hurried.
I finished To Kill a Mockingbird, but won't be ready to discuss until sometime next week, so take your time, ladies. If you need more time than that, just let me know, I understand it's summer and you all have better (or beachier) things to do.
@prettyinpa - I'm finished with To Kill a Mockingbird as well. Waiting until next week is fine with me.
I thought I would let all you book lovers know that Penguin Random House has a sweepstakes in which you could win all 100 books from PBS’s the Great American Read show. My two favorite books The Grapes of Wrath and 100 Years of Solitude are on that list. I see 100 Years of Solitude is also on your reading list so yay! I’m not sure if I am allowed to post the link here?...
I will be late to the party with To Kill a Mockingbird - I haven't read it in years, so I definitely want to read it before sharing. I'm still working on Unqualified by Anna Faris - love her!
@Tamara76- I got my copy of To Kill a Mockingbird but haven't started it yet. I got the latest John Connolly book and have to finish it because I can't renew, someone has a hold on it after me.
@prettyinpa Yay - Now I don't feel so bad about being late to the party! ❤️
So are we ready to discuss Exit West? @IndyQT317- did you finish?
I'm waaaaay behind - just finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - lol!
Maybe I can jump in on the next one and read this one later? ❤️ @prettyinpa @Titian06 @IndyQT317 @fatimamummy
ETA: I also missed Death on the Nile, but I have the book already! My life is so crazy, there is little down time so I mainly read late at night when everyone else is asleep - It's my me-time! ❤️
Also, I see Ken Follett coming up - I love him, but it took me months to finish The Pillars of the Earth, so I know I'll get way behind again when y'all get to him and will probably have to pass on that one.
And if we're still doing book club in November, I'll have to drop everything for Fire and Blood (assuming it drops on time) - love me some Targaryens! ❤️ Just so ya know and don't think I'm just a really bad book club member! xoxoxoxoxo
