Thank you Jen B I like this chalange I will be part on the next one as you started this one. But I will do it for myself so I can see how's it goes

Can you send me also the excell spreadsheet so I can take part in the next round, my mail is ababaigalit@gmail.com. I will practice for now. My question is if I have to read books one by one as the list show or we can read books from the list, but decide our order of reading?

Have a nice reading day and week

How many of the above list have you read?
Well from the list I have read 23.

Which ones have you been wanting to read but just haven't? How many are there?
I would love to read all of the 50 books, right know I have 10 in my tbr list, I believe slowly I will read all the 50 in the list.
Which book do you think don't deserve this popularity?
Well for me Middlesex and Life of Pi don't ask me why I didn't like them as other people liked them. It is only the reading taste of each person.
What book have you read, really liked, and you would expect it to be on the list but isn't?
Well I would like to see The Book Thief as well as other classic ones as Rebecca.

Well I finished The Second Summer of the Sisterhood. I gave it 3 stars.
Here is my review:
What I liked most about the book is that the book describes what each girl is feeling and what they are thinking. It is also very unpredictable. It is impossible to tell what is going to happen next. Bridgets story was the most touching and enjoyable as was Tibby's story. But Lena and Carmen are whiners in this book and it really got on my nerves. It ties up loose ends, which is nice, but doesn't maintain the independence each girl had before.

Well I just finished Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. I gave it 4 stars an my review is the following: 02.01.09:
---------
A short and perfectly-voiced story of preteenage Margaret who desperately wants breasts, her period, to fit in, and to understand God. Caught between her father's mother's Jewish heritage, and her mother's Christian, Maragaret--who has no religion--is trying to find God, but speaks to him all the time. A brilliant and well-written (truly in Margaret's voice) story about finding identity and understanding the world and religion. I recommend this book for young girls from ages 10 to 13 and for their moms to read if they haven't already as a young girl.

1.Eclipse
2.Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
3. The Catcher in the Rye
4.The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

4 and half stars for Marley & Me tie-in: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

I just finished Marley and Me last night. The adorable photo on the cover caught my eye....they had a display of the book out in the open. Being an avid animal and dog lover, I couldn't pass it up. I loved it. To me it was so refreshing to see such commitment in another dog owner. I have always believed that when you adopt a pet it should be part of the family, and it is a lifelong commitment. You don't give up and get rid of them, just because of hard times or problems. This book is just enjoyable reading and now waiting for the movie to come out at Christmas time. Oh, if all our lives could be this much fun. Marley certainly was a loved dog, probably never had a bad day. I just passed this book onto other people, especially good dog lovers. I would also recommend it to high school readers as well. I loved the humor, the stories about Marley, and the compassion the author relates to the reader about his life/loves/annoyances. I'd highly recommend Marley and Me and am looking forward to reading John Grogan's 2nd book.

Well I started yesterday Marley & Me - John Grogan and I enjoy it very much, although I am only 30 pages in the book.

Hello Everybody,

My name is Avigail and I am from Israel. I found goodreads through www.facebook.com.

Your group sounds a lot of fun. I am addicted to reading, you will find me always with a book no matter where I go.
I am willin to open up to new generes and that's because I read whatever falls in my hands. The other thing about me is that I wont put down a book that I don't like, I will continue to read it.

Well I hope that we will have good readings and conversations.

Have a nice reading weekend
Avigail

Realistic Fiction: You like things about now, and things that could have happened, instead of some fantasy world that doesn't exsist. I no longer read books from this genre, but once did. I remember enjoying Surviving the Applewhites, Bloomability, and Chasing Redbird, and would reccomend these books to anyone who wants to explore the genre.

Well the truth is that I read everything that falls in my hands. I have to end the book even when I don't like the book.

Dedicated Reader but Obsessive-Compulsive was close behind!

Well I have always a book in my bag, when I have to wait for my turn you can find me with a book. I am an flight attendant thank god never my suitcase got lost and always carry my books in my hand bags
