I vote for "Shall I Knit You a Hat?"

Sounds like something that would help Steve get his project started.  Afterall, the symposium is only about 14 months away and he has lots of hats to knit - he's been promising one to everybody.  And here I thought I was just special  :D

I'll read anything that isn't non-fiction.  If you guys want to pick a non-fiction book, that's fine with me; I'll just join in on the next book.

I can go with the 13th Tale.  Just let me know when the deadline is and I'll be there   8)

I'm currently reading something called The Kindness of Strangers which is very interesting.  I'm about halfway through it.  It was an Amazon pick for me the last time I ordered books and I'm really enjoying it.  I won't elaborate on what it's about.  I don't want to ruin it for others who might decide to read it.

June 13th is three weeks from now. Plus it is Friday, the 13th. Seems fitting.  :o

Hey Guys,

I haven't been on this thread before, just too much else to read here, but finally took a minute to read the last few entries...I LOVE to read and am in between books, so would love to jump in here and participate.  Is there anything I need to know (don't have time to go back and read all 21 pages of this thread) besides start reading the book?  Is the book The 13th Tale for sure?

Thanks,

Cindy

Hi Cindy,

You are welcome to join in. Yes, it is the Thirteenth Tale.

Nothing else to know, we are not that well organized.   ;)

Cindy,

Welcome aboard! So glad to have you here! Just for fun for us...no formal rules. We just talk about it after everyone's finished. Author is Diane Setterfield. Anyone have a finish date?

Happy reading!

Mary -

it looks like we'll be starting on the 13th and that Steve will begin the discussion.

I looked for the book today at Target, but didn't find it.  Guess I'll have to check Sam's Club or Books a Million.  I did see one of the knitting books that Steve mentioned - I think it's called Friday Night Knitting Club or something similar.  It looked pretty good.  It might be a possibility for next time.

Hi, Cindy and welcome.  All you have to do is read and then join the discussion on the 13th.

Bought the 13th Tale this afternoon and started reading it.  It seems like it will be very interesting.

I also bought The Friday Night Knitting Club (in honor of Steve  ;) ) and two other books that were recommended by a friend of mine - The Last Time I Was Me and Skeletons at the Feast.  She particularly recommended Skeletons which is a romance based on a true-life World War II diary.  Maybe somewhere down the line we could read it.  It might satisfy those who like to read non-fiction as well as those who prefer fiction.

Just a thought,

I have had The Thirteenth Tale here for almost a year... was in box of books that was given me to
keep myself occupied after surgery... was going to start reading it next but picked up Friday Night Knitting Club
at Target yesterday and I am a third of the way through... was going to read it after Thirteenth tale but
accidentally opened it last night and the words popped into my eyes and on to brain... I hate when that happens  :)

I will still have Thirteenth Tale read by the thirteenth
