Hi, catarina1!
Did you read The Coffee Trader as part of the Highly Rated Book Group read? If not, I thought you might like to join us for our next group read which I believe will be The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I think that it starts on March 2. I don't know how to make a link, but I think that if you go to my profile page and look at the groups I belong to, then you could click on the group name to get there.

ETA Well, I went to the group and saw that you are already a member. Sorry that I did not realize it before. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on the next book. Have a great day! :)

Thanks for thinking about me. I just happened to have a copy of the Blind Assassin and got it out yesterday.

Sorry to interject, catarina, but BillieJean - where do you find all the group reads? When I look at the big list of LT groups, I don't see anything that would suggest group reads (although that big list is kind of overwhelming). Do you just do a search for them? Or do they come up in groups you're already in? I'd like to take part in some of the ones you've mentioned (esp. Anna Karenina) but I don't know where to find them!

#5 I posted a comment on your profile page about the group reads. Let me know if you have more questions. :)

#4 I still have to get my copy of The Blind Assassin. I am looking forward to that book. :)

Have a great weekend!
