Someone in the family (who shall remain nameless) (though you can probably guess who she is) had the idea that we should continue with our usual picking names for the Christmas gift exchange, but with one slight modification: the gift must be a book. Also, she (this mystery woman) (whose first name begins with an "E") thought it might be a nice idea if we set up a blog so we can all discuss the book we received. So this is the blog. You shall all be invited to join and post soon (as soon as I figure out how to do that!)
Once you're invited to post, please join in as often and as in depth as possible. I would suggest that you don't limit your discussion to simply the one book you received this Christmas. Talk about other books that mean a lot to you; or books by the same author or in the same genre as the one you've received; or books you want to read; or your thoughts on the book you gave and why you picked that book for that person; or books others received this Christmas that you have thoughts on; or your thoughts on what others have posted. For that matter, don't limit your discussion to merely books. If there is a movie or a play or something else culturally related to what you're reading, if there are events in your life that the book recalls for you...well, you get the picture. In other words, let's have a free-ranging, good-natured discussion where one post leads to another which leads to another, which...
So, welcome aboard. Now, let's pick names so we can get the ball rolling. Mystery lady, will you do the honors?

Hallelujah, we are up and running!
(Who could that mystery lady be?)
As I continue to get in touch with the family and find out who would like to be a part of the exchange we can try out the blogging and see what works.
A couple of questions:
How do you start a new thread? Or do we comment on existing ones as well?
I'm going to get in touch with Morris and Fanfi and Ryan, Christy and Brandie and Billy as well, any one else?
