I was actually wondering if we could start a forum called "WLS Book Club." Then each WLS book a could be its own thread and those of us that had read the book could discuss.

Wonder how we do that?

Ohh that's good!

I know we as users/members can add new topics, but I feel certain only a site admin can add a new forum...we can hope that an admin or a moderator will read this topic and address our suggestions. I see there is a "contact us" option for the website...I can try sending a message that way...depending on the site, those are monitored at least on occasion...worth a try I guess

I just wanted to send out a thank you for this post.....and add my recommendation for: The Emotional First + Aid Kit by Cynthia L. Alexander.....definitely a keeper and a great reference to keep on hand well after surgery when facing challenges.

Hi Macy6,

At the end of "Stranger Here", did you cry out in frustration, "what happened to Ben???", like I did?

No because I read the epilogue and she is with a woman now

According to her blog, Jen is actually with Ben and has been for a few years. Not sure if they're married, but they've bought a house together. The "lesbian life partner" comment directed at Monique in the Acknowledgements (not epilogue) is in reference to their motorized cart dramatics (i.e., a joke).
