Terry Goodkind is probably my favorite author. Love that series.

 

 

So I noticed we have a lot of participants in this thread. Is anyone interested in getting the BDW book club started back up??? We could pick a book a month to give everyone plenty of time to read it.  Let me know if you guys are? I totally miss it. Let me read stuff I wouldn't of read normally.
 



She has a few books out under the name Madeleine Wickman. I just read The Wedding Girl and I bought Cocktails for Three.

OK I need your opinion. I just bought 3 books and I am not sure which one I want to read first.

 

Terry Goodkind “Faith of the Fallen†– Good 800 page book

Madeleine Wickman “Cocktails for Three†– Will be able to finish over the weekend

Stieg Larsson “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo†– It has been a while since I read a mystery

 

What do you think?

Yup - I read Mennonite in a little black dress...but honestly didn't love it. Thought it would be funnier & wittier than it was, but I just didn't get it! I've started on Still Alice now! I've got one chapter read, & can't wait to get into it!! Besides that, I think I still have 7 or 8 to read! I had just placed an order from amazon before you sent me those books! I'm good for at least 6 or 7 months I'm sure!

It's super good - stick with it. I know its kinda slow with all the background information at the begninning, but it's totally worth it!!

Probably Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Terry Goodkind is my favorite but then you'll want the next one after that. Haha.

Well, you can put one of those books in the hat and it might get chosen!

I have an excel spreadsheet with everyone's name who is in the BC. Then everyone recommends a book and then there's a website that randomly chooses a number and I put the books with a number and that's how we choose the book.  Or I think last time the person whose book was chosen can choose the number for the next time but I think that takes longer. :) Then after we choose the book we pick a deadline and when the deadline gets here we open the discussion floor to discuss the book.

"Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues."

 

Hope that helps!!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
