Seems like this blog works, as there was already a comment posted, as well as people who responded to the poll. Yay!
We also already have a volunteer to host our first meeting. We do have one mom who doesn't live in Tribeca anymore but wants to still come and made a request that once in a while we see about having a meeting halfway between here and the Upper East Side, and she even volunteered to host at her Uptown spot. I'm sure we can all accommodate each other...
I also put Brigette's book requests on the list to the right, and asked her to come up with 4 or 5 options for us all to "vote" on.
As we finalize book and date details, I'll make sure to link to Brigette's apartment and any relevant information we'll need.
If you want to volunteer to host a future date, please let me know and I'll put your name on the list. The end of December is always a crazy place in my house (especially since Sarah's birthday also falls in that time, and we "do" Xmas & Chanukah) - but we might be able to do something after Christmas/the holidays, or even the first week of January...
Post your thoughts in the "comments" area so we can start a discussion.

O.K. As promised, here is a list of some more choices:
Francine Prose - A Changed Man
Richard Ford - The Lay of the Land
Dinaw Mengestu - The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears
Amy Bloom - Away
Joshua Ferris - Then We Came to the End
Stewart O'Nan - Last Night at the Lobster
Vendela Vida - Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name
On another note - Helen, would it be possible to list the potential reading choices on the blog site with titles and authors? Or authors and titles? I don't know about anyone else, but that would make it easier for me to scan the list. Just a thought.
Can't wait to host.

B - Of course I can list by whatever we want! 7 books is a lot to pick from - can you narrow it down to the 4 you would like to read most? I'll put them all on the list...
Woops! Just saw your last comment. Why don't we narrow it down to the following:
Dinaw Mengestu - The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears
Amy Bloom – Away
Joshua Ferris - Then We Came to the End
Stewart O'Nan - Last Night at the Lobster
Actually, when you first asked me for titles, I didn't realize I would be the only one coming up with them. Now I get how it works. :-).
