About meRetired but still curious.
A member of the Library Thing Seattlite Discussion Group Book Club - Third Place Thingers
About my libraryTrying to get control of a rather unruly collection. As you can see I buy more books than I get around to reading. I was going to catch up when I retired. As it turns out, that just gave me more time to buy books.
About my book status tag: I have now completely converted my book status over to collections.
I am now the owner of a Kindle (got it for Father's Day). Since the kindle books are proprietary I am going to treat them like any other book I own...just keep them in my Kindle bookcase as tag:ebook.

It was nice talking with the group tonite. And I am looking forward to reading The Earth Abides.

I have the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 LED clip-on light. I got it from Amazon :o) I think it works great, and it comes in a couple of different colors.
Hope she likes it!
See you next month,
Emily

Would you be interested in picking the book for our December book club meeting? I was suppose to be picking the next book but I have an opportunity to travel so I won't be at the Dec meeting...it just seems to make more sense to have someone who will be there pick the book. If you will take December then I will take January.

I’m sending this note because you are a member of the Seattleites group.
A few of us are starting a book club and I hope that you will consider joining us.
Our first book is In the Woods by Tana French. Our first meeting will be on Thursday, October 2nd, at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park.
See our thread called Book Clubs? on the Seattleites group or you can reply to me if you want more info.
Thanks - Carol

I am still fairly new to this. I certainly enjoyed browsing your books. What are you reading now that you like? I am ready "the stuff of thought" which is ok and Gorgon, which is surprisingly fun.

We only have the two Generations books in common, but we sure feel the same way about 'em! Martha Huntley
