Dear Reader Column 01-23-07

Join my email book club. Over 330,000 people read 5-minutes a day. To see what books I'm featuring this week, go to: http://www.dearreader.com/

Dear Reader,

Emails are tricky things--kind of like that "lost sock in the washer." You know you put two in, but only one came out. Or sometimes your computer just "eats" all of your book club reads.

So remember, if you don't receive one of your daily book club emails, you can get a copy immediately by going to:

http://www.emailbookclub.com/miss/

And if you still don't receive your read, of course you can always contact me and I'll get one right out to you.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write. I love to read your mail and I appreciate your suggestions, complaints, compliments--send them my way.

From my Email Bag:

"Well, thanks a lot, Suzanne! I am at work and have had to close my office door and just have a good old fashioned cry! That was the sweetest thing I have ever read (your answer to the mother with lung cancer). I too have read with you for a long time. You have inspired me to do so many things:

Get back to gardening
Bake cookies for other people
Be sweeter to my family
Get out my Mom's old recipes and cook something just for "old time's sake"
Read books that I wouldn't normally think I would like

Isn't it funny that the last thing I thought of was the purpose of your book club? So, you see.....you have no idea how much good you do us readers each day. I feel like you are my sister and if I saw you in the grocery store, I think I would just start talking to you like we just saw each other yesterday.

Thanks for being a positive. (My mother used to say, 'be a positive, we've got too many negatives running around.')"--Jayne D.

Thanks for reading with me, "sis." It's so good to read with friends.

Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher

Yes just this morning on the way in to work. I fight the busy and bad I-20 in Atlanta to head to my work campus downtown. And someone almost ran me off of the road. I tell you this was road rage and what did I do. I calm down and let him go around me and on with his business. So many people have so many things on them these days. You never Know.

Hi Suzanne,

I got a chuckle out of your Home Ec. class story and how you always wanted to do your 'own thing'. It brings back a memory of my Home Ec. days and how in cooking class I didn't want to make just any old white cake---so out came some spices for a Spice Cake. The room was filled with the aroma of spices, so needless to say I was 'found out'! I can't remember the outcome, other than I do know that the cake was flop and didn't rise one bit!

I have just joined your Book Club and am enjoying it very much. Looking forward to some more good reading.
