I didn't even buy this book, but I did eventually finish The Lovely Bones LOL.  I'll be around for the next one if it's a book I think I'll like.

The same people who always go into the challenge threads and say they are going to write one and never do lol

I did suck this month, but I almost knew I would. LOL I don't even really have a great excuse except that all bookstores involve shopping and the library is just too much work. I hope someone does come in and say something this month. Someone has to have read it besides you. If not i'm really going to try to get it soon. We'll see.


LMAO, yeah, I should have known it'd work much like the challenge thread. (Of which I have not answered yet this month)

lol don't worry yourself too much. It's a super long book and the month is already half over. You can just read next months and chat with me about it.

I volunteer to host April if we need someone for then.  February and March are looking busy, but I think I could definitely commit to hosting the discussion in April if it's not already taken.

I am just so confused lol I want to stop reading but I know it'll probably get better any minute, right? I feel like I need to be high to read this one or something. Kind of like Listening to Pink Floyd sober? lol

I am getting a kick out of the wife. I think she's my favorite chracter so far.

Probably, because it's not making a lick of sense to me. Not one iota lol not yet anyway. Although i'm reading it between classes. I have a feeling it's the kind of book I need to concentrate fully on.

I mean I get the idea and it's a great one but i'm just not getting wtf is happening. Talking dogs and ravens lol it's like I wrote this book or something! I'm waiting for the dancing cucumbers!
