ScrapHappy Book Club discussion

Hello friends!
I've been going crazy with planning for True Scrap (www.truescrap.com) and May's Layout a Day, so excuse me for the tardiness on this!

We had talked about possibly doing a Dickens book for our next book -- any other thoughts? I'd actually prefer something easy b/c I am SWAMPED but if I'm outvoted, that's fine. I'll sit out this round.

Thoughts?

I posted this previously -- if too busy heading into spring (busy time for me too!!) maybe a good fall book:
I did not read this selection -- sorry to jump in here, but wondered if there was any talk of the next book. Whether it is selected or not, I would like to suggest that you may want to read The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton --- interestingly enough scrapbooking plays an important role in this family saga that spans 5 generations of English and Austrailan women. I did not know until recently that scrapbooking was an improtant aspect of many lives during the Victorian period and in this case helps provide clues to solving this family mystery. It is a great story --- a little long (550 pgs) but the story moves along and I loved it. Just a suggestion....

The Forgotten Garden is on my hot list too. I'm all for it.

Okay, let's go for the Forgotten Garden. May discussion?

Sounds good to me -- don't be turned off by the length -- chapters are short and the story moves.

Why don't we aim for 4/15? Remember, the discussion is ongoing -- even if you've only read a bit of the book by then, you can chime in whenever! :)

Just started reading The Forgotten Garden. So far it's intriguing!

Isn't it cool they way she weaves the story together. I cannot imagine how complex that must have been to write with the different characters and time periods.

I bet listening could be confusing -- I know I had to make a special effort at the beginning to the chapter to note in my brain the date and character that it was about.

I am, Joy.
