INTRODUCTION: (Discussion Schedule: January 15th - January 31st) DON'T MISS IT!

My tree will soon be stashed away.  The nativity scene boxed up for another year.  My Christmas lights, well it’s just way too cold for me to brave the elements.  Maybe I’ll take them down in, oh, say April?  The holidays are ending and now it’s time to treat ourselves and, since I had such a great time hosting the November blog, I’ve decided to reward myself by continuing to host through 2009.  As I’m reading the newest novels from our authors, I must tell you that I’m eager to begin the discussion.  So, curl up in your favorite chair with our three January Lost in a Good Book selections and a hot cup of cocoa.   Unwind after the busy holiday season and join friends here at the WRDF Book Club.  While you’re at it, check out the author websites and see what else they’re up to, browse their releases and take a tour through my site as well.  You’ll find information on Liberty Road, a story dear to my heart, as well as my January release, Viveka’s War, inspired by my grandmothers.     

Our January book discussion will begin on January 15th. Make your selection now and prepare to join in the fun. Discussion comments will be made in the comment section of each book. (found at the bottom of each posted selection) Authors may be posting contests or giveaways in their comment section, so check often during the discussion to get the latest updates.

We want to hear from you. Don't be shy, tell us what you think.

What, if anything, does it all have to do with the strange Amish girl who may, or may not be, Flora Vastine’s new friend? And who is the pretty girl diverting Harry Minnich’s attention away from Flora?
