I think there is a group on goodreads called, "what's the name of that book" or something like that...if someone here doesn't know the name of the book you're looking for, then check out that group as well, they may know..good luck.

OK Kristina,

I'd be happy to set up the book club link. After I am done with this note, I will make you moderator and set up the link for the bookclub.

Yes, it's like being a greeter. You can ask for members suggestions and/or suggest what you want to read. You're the queen :D

But the most important thing...is to have fun!
