Please accept my apologies!

I'm sorry that I've been out of contact in Blogworld lately...life is moving at a rate beyond the speed of light (or so it seems), and I'm struggling just to keep up with my daily "real world" duties.

It figures - I read ahead and finished Revolutionary Road back in January (!!) and now it's March (!!) and I've yet to post any of my comments. Yikes!

Truth be told, I was trying to hold off and allow some of the other Bloggy Book Club members to get their thoughts posted before I shared my own. Well...is anybody out there? I've waited about 6 weeks, and still nothing - not even my own!!

Except fthluvhope, who deserves MAJOR kudos - for reading, posting thoughts, AND going to grad school while working and being a wife. (Sound of me applauding.)

I will try to do better on my end, and I hope that at least one other member out there is still reading along.

Hello??

Revolutionary Road: Final Questions

1. Were you satisfied with the book's ending?
2. Who was your favorite character and why?
3. Would you read this book again? Why or why not?
4. Do you have any final thoughts on this book?
5. And, most importantly, are you up for movie night at the end of the month to have fun and watch the film version of Revolutionary Road?

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo???

Scroll down the blog for this month's discussion questions. Read the book and comment on the blog. And have fun!!!

PLEASE NOTE!

I've never been a member of an online book club before, so this is all new to me. Please bear with me as I (and we together) work out the kinks. As you read over the Book Selections for 2009, please know that I have tried to offer a year's worth of reading that will inspire, challenge, entertain, and reveal.... And as with "typical" book clubs, I hope we can do the same for each other (inspire, challenge, entertain, and reveal) through our blog discussions and interactions.

But rest easy. You are not required to leave comments, to answer book questions, or to participate in any discussions. However, you are always invited to do so whenever you want to. There is no "right answer" and no test or book report at the end of the month. Please don't feel pressure of any sort.

And when it comes to commenting, a gentle reminder to us all---let's be nice! We can express our opinions, perhaps in stark contrast to another club member's opinion, and do so with civility. This book club is meant to be fun, and this blog is meant to be kind.

Happy Reading...and Happy Discussing!!!
