Don't tell Mak! I had to order a copy of The Sculptress and I just received word that it's in, so I'll be starting to read it by this weekend. And Whit, I also picked up a copy of The Clan of the Cave Bear just because.

I'm definitely not a big consumer of murder mysteries but I just ordered The Sculptress so I can read it and participate in any discussions.

Mak, I just also finished The Sculptress. I had ordered the book, but had forgotten why. Now I know it was for here. Isn't she a good author? I'm going to read her other books too.

Yes, OG, she is a good author. The gruesome murder details and the misery of some of the characters were hard to read, but the mystery was so good, I had a hard time putting it down. Twiggyish, if I get a chance, I'll post a couple chapters tomorrow.

Bumping back up! I'll be trying to check in next week. My work has scheduled a ton of activities next week, including several night classes. Also, we have friends in town and it's going to be hard to get online. (Although I'll try)

I finally got the book! It was nearly impossible to find here in Singapore, but I found it in a second hand bookstore yesterday! YEA!

Az, you're in Singapore?! I'm sorry if this is a repeat for you, but can I ask why you're there? I'm glad that you were able to find the book! You're going to like it, especially if you like mysteries I'm on Ch. 5 of The Sculptress and it's getting really, really good! Take care!!

I've set up discussion areas for the first chapter of Sculptress and an area to discuss the entire book. Please add your comments to these areas, and feel free to add a new topic area if you want to discuss other chapters that aren't set up yet. I didn't set the book down long enough between chapters to post anything in the middle, lol.

Thank you, Twiggyish, I'm just trying to help out our wonderful book club leader. I'm glad you're home tonight, it's awful to be that tired! Get some rest, and we'll "see" you in the book discussion someday soon.

Egbok, I just saw your question to me. I moved to Singapore to be with my boyfriend. He got a job offer here that he couldn't refuse. I didn't think I was going to like the book, but it kept my interest. I finished it in two days.

Has the Book Club died? I just read another good one, Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris, who also wrote Chocolat, which I have not read. Here is a pretty good review: Review

I think it did kind of peter out. Anyone interested in reviving it anew with all new suggestions? Maybe we could focus on picking a book, setting a deadline, and meeting in chat once a month to discuss it. I think Juju's recommendation above sounds fabulous. I'd also like to throw out The Secret Life of Bees simply because, having read it, I know it is a perfect book for discussion!

Both of those sound good...along with all of our previous suggestions. I'll read whatever we decide, but I'd love to see the book club started up again!

Hmmm...Juju's recommendation sounds good. I think I will got check out the library and see what kind of a waiting list there is for that one. There is still a long list for The Secret Life of Bees I know and I am in no position to buy books at the moment. I am 74 on the list for Armageddon and 47 for King of Torts...sigh

I'm still here, reading very slowly these days. I'm up for just about anything.

Juju's book sounds great, but if it isn't in paperback yet, could keep some people from joining in. I've read and loved SLOBees. And have been holding onto American Patriots and the Fannie Flagg books, in case we end up reading those. If we have a Sculptress chat, I'll go, though it has been awhile since I read it.

I'd like to see the Book Club revived too. I just started reading The Giver, a title that was suggested here. I just got lost in this book right away. And it's very thought-provoking as well - wish I could have read it as a kid!

I've been reading slower since the nice weather finally arrived but would love to do another Book Club book. I didn't feel like discussing The Sculptress much - was happy to put her out of my mind, lol. SLOBees was just wonderful and would generate good discussions.

Okay... looks like we have: Five Quarters of the Orange The Secret Life of Bees The Giver American Patriots Standing in the Rainbow I'll try to get little blurbs posted later, but be thinking about your preference in the meantime. I'm also going to try to get a chat set up for The Sculptress for those who have expressed an interest in chatting about it. How does next Tuesday at 9 or 10 p.m. EST sound? I have class now on Mondays so I can't do it then (that is when we had our last chat).
