I just clicked on your profile page. I didn’t know you had a book club here. That is so great.

Yeah, I kinda opened my mouth at the wrong time and was put in charge of it. I don't know anything about running a book club, so it eventually became just another ping list.

At this point I usually only have two threads a year: one for summer reading and one at the end of the year. And this year, someone else beat me to posting a summer book thread, so I just pinged the list.

[Stephanie32]

I will. Everyone here is so friendly and warm. I really feel at home here.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute. Hope you had a safe and uneventful commute home.

[Stephanie32]

Thank you Kathy, I appreciate that so much. ((Hugs back))
