Intro and March Selection

Hi All!

Coral and I have decided to do an online bookclub. We're both avid readers and figured we weren't the only ones. Since we all live so far apart from each other, we thought this would be the best way to host a bookclub. Don't worry if you don't feel that intellectual--we don't have to discuss exact themes or anything--just why you like it, what points stuck out to you, what's applicable, what's not, that sort of thing. I mean it's not like we've all done graduate studies at Oxford or anything! Also, we thought we would read books that were interesting to us...not necessarily books that were interesting to Oprah...although those ones aren't bad either(...sometime of the time!).

We will be starting our reading in March. February will be about generating interest and getting a bit of a headstart on our reading. I know that the name of our group may be seem a little inclusive, but believe me, it's not meant to be! (I just couldn't think of anything super cool while I was at work.) We're trying to get as many people as possible in on this. We'd love to hear your feedback and comments about the books we read and votes on future selections. This is a public forum type of blog so you should be able to write all your comments on it. I will be the Coral and I will act as the moderators. Coral has made the first selection. The book is entitled Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn. Coral said they had several paperback copies available at WalMart in Texas, so it should be widely available. It's a murder mystery with quite a few plot twists set in the late 1880's. Since it's a period piece, it should be an interesting read: kind of like the CSI of old, if you will. And we will. I'm excited about it. It's a bit long, but the sooner you get started on it the better, and since it's the March read, we have February to cheat on it. Happy reading everyone!
