...thank you to all of the S&S Group Read participants, and that I truly enjoyed this group read with my fellow Janeites. (I wanted to be sure to post this early enough, just in case the GR board closes on the last day of the scheduled time frame!) It has been my first true group read, (although I did lurk during the L&F GR), and you all have helped to make it a pleasant and wonderful time. I thoroughly enjoyed every post and discussion, and hearing everyone's thoughtful input and insights. I learned a great deal from you all, about lovely Devonshire, toothpick cases, and other interesting tidbits that immensely enhanced this experience for me, and I am sure for others as well!

I also want to thank the RoP Committee and Moderating team for making this delight available to everyone, and for keeping the boards safe and clean.
