I really had grand plans about writing a welcome post. The initial posts became too mushy and sentimental-- and neither mush nor sentiment is reason for this blog. So as I sit here for the 30th time staring at the computer screen trying to decide what to post, I remembered the Nike slogan-- Just do it! (I have blog posting anxiety.)
I really hope this first post is the hardest part. And hope you will all join in. Share an interesting article either relating to our books (past, present or future), an article about men (because we love them so much), how about some celebrity gossip (do you know the names of Angelina's new babies?) Or, even share a fun story about your Friday night out on the town.
First off, I would like to share the Washington Post series about Chandra Levy. It is day two in the multi-part series and I can't wait to read more tomorrow. Chandra grew up about an hour from Sacramento (my home town) and I remember the news coverage from eight years ago, like it was yesterday.
And to make our first official announcement on the blog-- We will be reading Loving Frank, by Nancy Horan. Click here to order your book on Amazon.

oh boy. Just finished reading the first three chapters of the Chandra Levy series. I was in my freshman year at GW when all the news broke out, it was so intense then and it brought all those memories back. Gary Condit is such a sleaze, but do you think that he did it?
i think its hard to not think he was at least involved - esp when they go into detail about all his other 'affairs' - sounds creepy enough to arrange a murder...
I'll never forget how even my mom was obsessed with the case. I called her the morning of 9-11 to see if she'd heard the news. The first thing she said to me was, "What's going to happen to Chandra now?" She was so concerned that the media attention would now be turned away from the case and they wouldn't be able to to find who did it. She's funny like that...
