"Im Maggie - 37, single, dog-owner who lives in Roseville. I like to read books and would love to read more. I prefer fiction over non-fiction."

"Some of the members who met last night had not finished the book and others of you could not make the meeting, so I thought that it would be a good idea to continue the discussion from last night on the..."

"I found a podcast of KCRW's Bookworm radio show that interviews Nicole Krauss. http://www.podcas... I will post more resources as I find them. :)"

"Hi, I'm Karen. I love new books to read, so this group sounds great. Plus, I am looking forward to meeting some new people!"

"I use to read a lot and would like to get started with a novel again. "

"I knew we were a match made in heaven when I discovered you're reading a book I'm already reading. I look forward to meeting you all."

"Hi Beth- Nice to hear from you. I'm excited about the idea of starting up a book club in our area. I haven't gotten any other responses. Perhaps if we posted another book club meeting notice for the area that would get more attention? "

"I would be willing to meet south of the river...Eagan or Burnsville. It would be great if we could get a few others as well."

"Hi, I'm Beth. I love to read! I guess my favorites are "summer" fiction... but I am willing to branch out! I'd really like to meet more people and hopefully, along the way, make some new friends."

"Hi, I'm Colleen and I live in Woodbury. I'm a literature- and "fun read"-lover from way back. I'm also looking to meet some new people and make some new friends!"

"Way to go Kel! We'll do the next one : )"

"I am an avid reader and have been looking for a book club to join for ages now. I read mostly fiction, particularly that of "marginalized" authors."

"Hi All! I've been looking to join a book club for a while and am very excited to have actually done it. Unfortunately can't make this meeting because of a scheduling conflict Tuesday night but look forward to other meetings in the future."
