I'd like to say that I thought our first book club chat was a huge success. It was really wonderful and insightful to toss ideas and thoughts around with everyone...as well as getting to know all of you on a more personal level too. I really had a great time and I look forward to many more. A big thank you to DraHeiD and Wargod for the suggestion and making it happen and to Hermione for all of the great questions and organization! It was a great discussion about a great book.

DAMN! I figured my time zones wrong. I thought the chat would be at 12 my time. I missed the book chat

I agree with HeyItsLori, it was wonderful and much appreciated. Sorry I left without saying goodnight. I got booted and it was late, so I didn't come back to say bye, lol. I'll look forward to the next chat. The Sculptress seems like it will give us plenty to talk about. I'm not very far into it yet, but lots of issues so far.

Ditto from me. It was excellent. Hermi, you were outstanding with your questions. I promise to get a little further along in the next book BEFORE the chat. Darn that rl getting in the way! Az, we missed you. Twigs, too. Hopefully everyone can make it next time. It really was worthwhile.

Tess, your announcement at the end was so funny! You did really well for reading only..what? 15 pages?! LOL I had a very nice time in this chat and it certainly was a great diversion from all the stuff going on in our world right now. Now I'll have to get The Sculptress and start reading soon (and so will you Tess!)

Ahem! That was 27 pages, Eg! <getting The Sculptress tomorrow>

I had a lovely time at chat and was so excited to see all of you guys. Thanks for a great book, Seamonkey. It was very thought-provoking. We all related to it on many levels. Thanks again to everyone who came and to Draheid and the mods for setting it up.

Sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately. I'm fighting a nasty sinus infection with a cough. Today is the first day I've felt like doing anything. Thank goodness I'm on spring break..otherwise I'd have to work. Plus, we're renovating our living room...sheesh.

We missed you, Twigs, but I think we should do this for every book. Hermi was awesome with her questions and everyone contributed to the discussion. It was very interesting and uplifting if that makes sense. Everyone there had overcome some sort of adversity to become the wonderful human being they are today. I was very impressed and felt honored to be there. I hope you feel much better very soon.

Hello fellow readers!! I was just wondering if anyone was still interested in our book club, and/or if anyone was interested in a chat session about The Sculptress? I think we had a pretty cool thing going here and I'd hate to see it end. I know summers are busy times..and BB is coming up.. so maybe we could revise things a bit for the summer. Any ideas or suggestions?? Let's keep our little club alive!!!

I'd be happy to do it again if anyone expressed an interest. I think part of what happened here is simply that people read at SUCH different speeds. For example, by the time one person finishes Chapter One, someone else has already finished that book, started a new book and moved on. It is hard to keep the discussion lively and timely, especially in the threads. But I'm with HeyItsLori, I would like to see this continue on some level. If enough people post in here and say, hey, yeah, let's chat about The Sculptress, we can try to get this thing going again.

I didn't read the Sculptress, but I'm in the middle of The Devil Wears Prada right now and it's kind of interesting/fun to read.

As I just posted in the other thread: "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)."

Draheid asked me if this Tuesday was enough time to publicize the chat? Vote here for whether you would like this Tuesday (June 10) or next Tuesday (June 17) for a chat about The Sculptress. Even if you don't care, say so and that will give me an idea of who is planning to come.

Either is fine for me....I'll be there.

We'll be on vacation but I may be able to pop in for a bit.

Tess, will you be on vacation for BOTH Tuesdays or Just the 10th? It is looking like I should shoot for the 17th for now.

Tess

Nope, I'll be back for the 17th but Wargod won't be available since it's her DH's birthday. So, it's a toss-up for us. I can be available for some on the 10th while DH takes Miss Sarah to the pool after dinner. If you start at 8pm Eastern though, we'll still be at dinner (and that's only 5pm for the West coast people). Our seating is at 6pm every night so I'd be running a little late......but Wargod would be there. Is that confusing enough for you, Hermi?

Okay, my computer crashed. I am using a school machine right now. I have another iBook at home but it is slow and disconnects all the time because I knocked something loose when I dropped it one day when I was juggling a mug of hot coffee and the computer!! So the chat can't be this Tuesday unless someone else wants to run it and since not many people have even responded, I don't see that happening. My other iBook is my school-issued one that I always use because I can carry it to and from school and home and it will be in repair for 3 days (probable translation 3 weeks). In the meantime, maybe we can at least get another book selected from the choices that have been turned in.
