Well it's your month, so why don't you break the tie and I'll read whichever you chose.

I would pick Nineteen Minutes. But I guess out of those two we'll go with my next favorite which would be My Sister's Keeper. So, unless anyone has any objections I guess we'll do My Sister's Keeper.

Ok, I thought that one sounded interesting too, so I'll go ahead and pick that one up! Thanks!

I just started an 1100+ page book LOL, but I did vote for My Sister's Keeper, so I'll plan on buying it too.  When do you think we're going to start discussing it?  (As in, how long do I have to get it?  Should I order it online or see if B&N actually has a book I want in stock in the store?)

I would say we'll start discussing it in about a week or so to give everyone enough time to get it. So let's say i'll start assigning chapters on the 16? Does that work for everyone?

I have to get my copy back form my sister as well lol

I went to my library and it was checked out. I had them put it on hold for me and she said it was supposed to be returned on the 12th. If it doesn't, then I'll just go over to the other branch where I know they have it. (I was too lazy to drive over there the other day) But that date sounds good for me. So, does this mean that other people are going to read it this time? I do believe I was completely ALONE in the last one. I'd love to actually have a "discussion" this month!

I have read it, so i'll be talking about ti with you. Oh and I just got American Gods for my birthday. Mike's parents bought it for me but I haven't started to read it yet. I'm almost done with yet another Jodi book, then I plan on starting on that one so maybe we can resurrect that thread form the dead as well lol

I didn't get to do this last month because of work, so I'm looking forward to it this month.  I am in the middle of Nineteen Minutes right now (so that's what I voted for) -- so far it's very good.

I read My Sister's Keeper in November and it's probably one of my alltime faves.

Nineteen minutes was awesome! We are going to have a month for that book at one point as well. I am Oprah and I say it must be so! lol

I didn't even get last month's book LOL, but I'm planning on getting this one and hopefully participating.  If I slack, blame it on Stephen King, cause I just started reading The Stand too, and it's over 1100 pages long... so I'll have to put it on hold to read this, but if I get too into it before I start My Sister's Keeper, that probably won't happen LOL.  That's kinda what happened with The Lovely Bones, although I did eventually finish that one.  I've been bad about reading multiple books at once lately.

The Stand is one of my all time favorite Stephen King books! Eyes of the Dragon is great too!
