What a wonderful experience. I feel the same way about her selections.

Pat, I saw that too. Unfortunately, I can't remove or duplicate them because one of them is a book that contains both novels, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations, which are both Oprah's picks. It's kind of irritating to me that I can't fix it or separate the votes.


message 41: by Amber (new)

Amber I am excited that Oprah has picked 2 new books recently for her book club:

The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

and

Love Warrior: A Memoir by Glennon Doyle Melton



I am also removing a couple of books that have been added but are not part of the book club books.

Before Women Had Wings by Connie May Fowler
The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve


message 42: by Rachel (new)

Rachel I went thru the list and added one book -Love Warrior
by Glennon Doyle Melton , i think its a recent addition to Oprah book club.

I also found that there are two additional books thats not a part of oprah book club:
The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd
Edna in the Desert by Maddy Lederman

since i m not the owner of the list i cannot delete these two entries


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Listopias have no "owner." Any GR Librarian should be able to remove books.

Thanks Rachel. I am going to remove the books now. I am not the "owner" of the list, but I have been trying to keep it correct.

A lot of good books to stretch your mind, even the ones not on the "official" list. JMHO

DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT (alexandra fuller) is a great, enjoyable book.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads That's not the question. The question is if it's on Oprah's list or not.
