Okay... It is official.... I went to the library near work today and got the January selection:
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.... Apparently we have until January 31st to read our selection. I am looking for an extension, but will do my best!
If you are looking to get a head start on February the next one on the list is....The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

Very exciting. This is the most social engagement I've had in months. I have "great expectations". Is Denice on this as well?
Just bought the first four on Amazon!!!
Denice said it was too much like school. Maybe we can just invite her for the social aspect. Naomi... can you invite her or can I?
are we to post this way? Under comments? How does Naomi get hers to the front? I'm a blogging newby...Somebody help :) btw...I got the first four books...but am skipping the first one and starting The Bluest Eye as it is now February...HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY SARAH!
I think this is awesome too--thanks for setting this up Nayo. Aaron if you look at the blog their should be a link at the top that says Create New Post I think. Use that to put posts up front. Hope all is well. I agree lets invite Denice for the social part.
