• I don't know the dates but I asked a question about books set in Canada a while back and got these responses: "The Birth House" by Ami McKay, Cape Random, Waiting for Time, Crow Lake. (NT) -- MaryC in KY, 05:37:42 01/04/12 Wed
  • Thanks, Mary. I remember "Cape Random" and "Crow Lake" .... don't recall when they were discussed. I've been scouring the archives, emails, computer files, etc. We have an impressive list! (NT) -- PeggyB, 06:53:18 01/04/12 Wed
    • Just re-searched my email using a different search term and found more books. Still lacking for 2007. (NT) -- PeggyB (), 07:35:18 01/04/12 Wed
  • 'Waiting for Time' and 'The Birth House' were suggestions for discussion that didn't happen. (NT) -- Densie, 09:07:05 01/04/12 Wed

• We also read 'The Granny' and 'The Chisellers' by O'Carroll and all 4 books of the Twilight series, plus 'The Host'. I checked my personal library shelves and didn't see anything else that I've purchased for book discussions but maybe had library copies of a few. I participated in almost every discussion and nothing else is ringing a bell! (NT) -- Denise, 09:04:33 01/04/12 Wed
  • We didn't do 'Twilight' on this board, did we? Did you all maybe read them on the SAD board? (NT) -- celtgirl (), 09:08:27 01/04/12 Wed
    • Yes, the Twilight series, Host, and the Harry Potter discussions, I believe, were all on the SAD board. I have been debating whether to include them in the chronicle (perhaps with a footnote?). (NT) -- PeggyB, 09:10:57 01/04/12 Wed
      • It wasn't called the SAD board, I don't remember what it was called, but I think it's worth noting those books as part of our group discussions. (NT) -- Denise, 09:13:32 01/04/12 Wed
        • It started as the Twilight Board, but the name was changed to reflect the broader discussions that go beyond Meyers' books. (NT) -- PeggyB, 09:15:13 01/04/12 Wed
          • Sallie didn't know what she was starting when she asked for a board on which to discuss Twilight! (NT) -- PeggyB, 10:46:12 01/04/12 Wed
      • This could explain the 2007 gap, the Twilight board was created in May 2007; we discussed Breaking Dawn in 2008, so perhaps 2007 was largely the Twilight series. (NT) -- PeggyB, 12:04:27 01/04/12 Wed
        • I seem to recall some overlap between the two boards, but then due to the difficulty of keeping both discussions running simultaneously, I think we stuck with the Twilight series. (NT) -- Denise, 15:35:28 01/04/12 Wed
          • OK, then I may have them all. I know there was a marathon of all of the HP books prior to the release of the final book, but not sure I should include it. We have an awesome list as it is! (NT) -- PeggyB, 15:55:20 01/04/12 Wed
  • Do you know in what year(s) Granny and Chisellers were discussed? (NT) -- PeggyB, 09:14:17 01/04/12 Wed
    • They were read following 'The Mammy', taking about a week for each book. (NT) -- Denise, 09:22:10 01/04/12 Wed

• Before heading to Ireland we re-read EU and Mermaid, having read them each once before, I think. Maybe EU twice before (first time, then again before the release of Mermaid)? (NT) -- Denise, 09:11:33 01/04/12 Wed
  • I think you're right- I think we've done EU three times, and 'Mermaid' twice. (NT) -- celtgirl, 09:25:10 01/04/12 Wed
    • Yeah, I'm sure that's right. (NT) -- Denise, 09:55:26 01/04/12 Wed
      • We did 'Mermaid' in 2007 when it came out. (NT) -- celtgirl, 10:03:28 01/04/12 Wed
        • So 2006 - EU. 2007 - EU, then Mermaid, 2009 EU and Mermaid again before Ireland. Get that, Peggy??? (NT) -- Denise, 10:10:23 01/04/12 Wed
        • That's right, that is why we did EU again in 2007. Thanks! (NT) -- PeggyB, 10:11:51 01/04/12 Wed

• We've read all the Lymond books, the first two Niccolos and 'The Children's Book' by A.S. Byatt. We also did 'Mists of Avalon' some time back. (NT) -- celtgirl, 09:22:26 01/04/12 Wed
  • Scroll to the bottom and you'll see what Peggy has compiled so far. Other than my suggestions above, I can't think of anything else but maybe you can. (NT) -- Denise, 09:43:47 01/04/12 Wed
    • No, I have editing brain right now, which means my grey matter feels like it's the consistency of overcooked oats. I doubt I can think of anything you ladies haven't already come up with. (NT) -- celtgirl (), 10:04:46 01/04/12 Wed

• Did we ever discuss Wuthering Heights??? I thought we had, but perhaps not. (NT) -- PeggyB, 10:48:28 01/04/12 Wed
  • You know that rings a bell for me too, Peggy. Did we mention dicussing it, but then didn't maybe? (NT) -- celtgirl, 10:51:35 01/04/12 Wed
    • Wish I had kept better records, once I returned to work in 2008 all bets were off. (NT) -- PeggyB, 11:01:39 01/04/12 Wed
  • No, I don't think so. I think you might have posted a few comments of your own, answered by Cindy and maybe someone else, but I'm rather sure we didn't have a formal discussion of WH (I didn't participate in one, and I've been involved in almost all discussions). (NT) -- Denise, 11:16:50 01/04/12 Wed

• THANKS ALL! I think we have completed the list, very impressive and diverse! (NT) -- PeggyB, 20:20:17 01/04/12 Wed
  • Thanks so much, Peggy - that's quite a list! It's nice to see all the ground we've covered over the years. (NT) -- E, 14:31:47 01/05/12 Thu
