Ok...I am giving this a test try to see if it works. Liz thanks for setting up this great site. I love the family blog my family uses. It is so exciting to look at the list of books read. My husband, Harvey, and I are reading the biography of Robert Frost right now aloud to John. It is a facinating story and well written by Jean Gould. I really enjoy reading as a family activity. I am reading "Milk Glass Moon", third in a series of books by Adriana Trigiani. She also wrote "Big Stone Gap" and "Big Cherry Holler." They are easy reads with a very light mountain storyline. For some reason I relate to the main character, so I enjoy the books. Can't wait to hear what everyone else is up to. Hope everyone is having a nice start to the school year.

Welcome to NC Bookettes!
To start us off, I'll show where we've been. The list includes what we've read or done so far in group meetings. Take a look to check that I've not left anything out. Email me any corrections - and please include suggestions for our links at the side of the page, picture, or group descriptions. I've set up the blog so anyone can comment (these will be reviewed before being accepted, to screen out advertising etc.), Bookettes can post main entries, and I'm not sure who has edit authority to the settings and templates. I do, but I'd like to expand that to anyone who'd like to help me maintain the site - not sure if that's possible, we'll see!
