Hi, Cindy,Could you add me to your list? I was on it, had some phone problems and ISP problems. It took a couple of weeks to resolve things. I'm afraid some emails got bounced around, and I got bounced from a list or two. I'm finally convinced that it's safe to ask if you can add me again. Thank you.

Lana, and anyone else who is new and doesn't know about list Isend out and wants it: Mary Anne and I provide synopses for the PQ books that are added by Carrie daily and nightly. I check the Browse New Books frequently during the day and night, and when Carrie has finished posting the additions to the collection, I add the books to my email list--English language books only. I delete a couple of lines that are repetitious, add whether they're fiction or nonfiction, juvenile, children's or Young Adult; and, if necessary, add short synopses, including replacing quoted reviews, which we aren't supposed to have, with short synopses. Thus when I email the list of Books Added to the 117 people who have asked for them, all the books on the list have short synopses. I also send the short synopses to Allison, who will, as soon as she has a chance, add them to the books in the collection, so sooner or later they will be there. Allison and some other volunteers
also write short synopses for PQ books.
If anyone wants to receive my list of books added,m just pet meknow, either by posting here or writing to me at popularplace@xxxxxxxxxx

I thought that, except for one or two now and then, we'd gotten past that. So disapointed.

I have just submitted Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannahto step one. I forgot to strip headers before submitting, but most scannos have been removed. Also, page breaks, and chapter headings have been protected. Here is the synopsis.
In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey hasaccepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the"coolest girl in the world" moves in acrossthe street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all--combeauty, brains, ambition. On the surfacethey are as opposite as two people can be: Kate,doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamourand mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her.They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable.
So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel.Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest,Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of twowomen and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives.
From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove herworth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally.In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, shelooks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television newsthat captivates her. She will follow her own blindambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . .. and loneliness.
Kate knows early on that her life will be nothingspecial. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she reallywantsis to fall in love and have children and live anordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being awife and mother will change her . . . how she'lllose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend.. . .
For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each otherthrough life, weathering the storms of friendship--comjealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they'vesurvived it all until a single act of betrayal tearsthem apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test.
Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone'sFarm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the storyof a generation of women who were both blessed andcursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one personwho really, truly knows you--comand knows what has thepower to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'llwant to pass on to your best friend.
