This Book is Currently in the Wild!

This isn't a book I would have thought to pick up on my own. Had it not been our monthly book club read for October I probably wouldn't have even considered reading it. Thankfully, some else knew better! What an amazing book about a womans journey to herself. I connected with Nan on more than one occasion! Elizabeth Berg's book made my hectic world stop for 3 hours and I entered into her and Nan's world without looking back.
Although only 35 myself, I identified with Nan's desire to leave behind her life and find out who she is. This book spoke to me softly and in a way a book hasn't in a long time. I heard Nan and I understood her need to find herself among the routine of her life. Sometimes you have to walk away from your routine to find yourself. I enjoyed Nan's journey and I'm glad she took me with her.
Although sometimes a little too simplistic, I never felt while I was reading that I was being "suckered" into feeling for Nan. My emotions and responses that came forth as I read the book were genuine and didn't feel forced or coerced by manipulative writing. Nan's journey seemed genuine and therefore I felt genuine in relating to her magical journey.
Would this same story happen if I took off from home right now? I don't know, but in many ways, I feel like a part of me went on that journey of self discovery with her.

I am currently still accepting new members, they will be added to the END of this list so none of you will 'loose your place' so to speak. If someone drops out, yall will move up - I will not move someone else up in their place.
As a member, you will receive the book from the person listed before you. When you receive the book, please make a journal entry at BookCrossing stating that you've received it and read it as soon as you can (don't rush,
just be reasonable about the length of time). I suggest that you PM the next person on the list to request their address so you can send it as soon as you're finished and not have to wait for their address. If you don't hear from them within a weeks time, two PM's, AND you're finished reading the book, please move on to the next person on the list - PM me and let me know. After you've read the book, please journal again at BookCrossing with your comments . I'll make a final loop back for anyone who misses out due to holidays, etc, but I'd like to keep the book travelling reasonably quickly. Mailing the book by media mail is the least expensive way (or surface mail if it's sent overseas).
If any questions come up, please send a PM to me.
If there is no one on the list after you, please return the book to me. I will send the book out again if I get more participants.
Please remember that there's a list of readers patiently waiting to read the book after you. With that in mind, I would ask that you try to get it back on the road again within a couple of weeks of receiving it. If your turn is approaching and you find that you've overextended yourself with rings and/or rays, drop me a line and we'll work something out.
Many thanks for your co-operation, and I hope everyone enjoys this bookring!
