March Book Club-On Mystic Lake-Kristin Hannah~~Discussion
 
I have it on my list to read (one of the few I haven't) and I saw quite a few of you have it set "to Read" on goodreads so we'll go with it!!

DIscuss away!! I'll be back once I start it to post some comments :)

Ooh, I can't remember if I've read this one or not. Off to see if my library has it for the kindle...

Julie Billingsley 02-29-2012 06:52 PM

oh I really liked that book! I got it from the library months ago. I'll have to see how long the wait is to get it again so I can join the discussion. I did post this in the other Kristin Hannah thread-

I think any mother, any stay-at-home mom, will find this book stirring you. I know this is a book that I will dwell on for quite a while. And a lot of us will hear ourselves in this quote from the book--

"We're like that, we moms. We take the pictures, but we don't record our own lives very well. It's a mistake we never realize until it's too late..."

Your post is one reason I went with this one...I love Kristin Hannah books and for some reason this one just slipped my hands or something and I've never read it. I'm really excited to dive into it!

Thanks for the recommend...I have reserved this through the library for Kindle...just have to wait for it to come in! :)

Milmomma 03-01-2012 02:24 AM

I got it off iTunes and can't wait to start it!

ryliesmom 03-01-2012 06:51 AM

Oh great. I've been wanting to read this one.

carrie1977 03-01-2012 07:49 PM

I'll have to see if it's available at one of our local libraries. :)

BrattyMeg 03-02-2012 10:03 AM

I'm SUCKED IN..on ch 8 already lol (just started yesterday)

jenn7 03-02-2012 11:13 AM

I'm going to get this one!

kelley 03-02-2012 12:26 PM

I'm excited about this one! I'm almost done with the Happiness project so I'll be able to start it!

BrattyMeg 03-04-2012 04:23 PM

ok I got sucked in and finished phew..now I can work!!

It was soooooo good!! My ONLY criticism is I WISH so bad that it had an epilogue instead of just ending like it did.

I'll be back in a few days to discuss it more :) I want to give some a chance to get into the book!

yep, it was my fav Kristin Hannah so far. I've read 6 of her books, but this one was soo good.

maryinaz 03-04-2012 08:15 PM

I read it back in November, but I obviously came to a different conclusion than most of you. ;)

my thoughts exactly!!! hated the ending!

BrattyMeg 03-16-2012 09:59 PM

I find that about a few of her books I've read..just wish they ended differently. I didn't like the ending of Firefly Lane either but it was better than On Mystic Lake to me (the ending/conclusion of the book..not the story itself)

ryliesmom 03-22-2012 11:09 PM

Finished this one today. I too was disappointed in the ending, but my version had a Q&A with the author and she explained why she ended it that way. She actually wrote the ending we all wanted, but left it out of the final draft. She said we all knew what happened anyway.
