I PMed VL earlier this week to let her know it would probably be a good idea for the Discussion Group to be on hiatus until her return. It has been three weeks now since anyone's been able to attend. I have done my best to keep it alive in her absence. I admit I haven't actively promoted it very forcefully, but that was because I was a placeholder for VL and didn't want to overstep by taking any aggressive leadership. I'm sure the fault lies with me and for that I am sorry.
My whole life (since the 7th grade at least) I've yearned to be a part of a Stephen King book club. I've never met anyone in my real life who has loved SK's work as I do. This site has been a godsend and the Reading & Discussion Club/Group was a dream come true for me. I hope and pray it will thrive someday - it kept me reading through some very dark times and for that I am eternally grateful.
Thank you everyone who has supported me in VultureLvr45's absence. I'll never forget your kindness and I pray she will return soon.
Morgan, you did a great job in VL's absence. I'm thinking a Friday night was just a tough sell. VL did a great job too and I hope it will come back and thrive. It was a great idea and still is.
