Gabriella’s comments from the Better Read Than Dead Book Club group.

Holy hell, CONGRATULATIONS!

Woohoo! I'm just hoping that I'm in the mood for both. I'm very much a mood reader, which is why I didn't read last month's book. Lol.

This is our alternate book for those who don't have access to Firsts. I'm going to try and read both, but we'll see how it goes. Grace is pretty excited about this one! Happy reading everyone!

Who is excited about this one? I am! I'm bummed that it's not easy to access outside of the US, but we'll deal.

SAMEEEE. I took it out of my stack and ended up putting it back last week because I just wasn't feelin it.

Hey, it's fine. I haven't read all the books and neither has Grace and it's our book club. Lol. I hope you'll be able to read next month's though. I've heard lots of good things. (:

It looks like no one is reading this month's book and it's fine. I haven't even been in the mood for it. But we are always open to what you feel like reading and while Grace and I have most of the year planned, changes can still be made. (:

Welcome to the group Jade! We're happy to have you!

Who is excited? I won't be able to start this one for a week or so because I'll be busy, but I definitely can't wait to read this one. I've been pretty slumpy lately. Hopefully this will pull me out of it.

When discussing this book, please remember that if you're on a desktop you should unclick the "add to my update feed" button to avoid spoiling any friends. Now who wants to chat about it?

The month is almost over, anyone else planning to read it before then?

Ugh, I'm glad you're making progress because I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. But don't the surrounding people make you mad with all their tweets and shit? AHHHHHHH. I wanted to punch them all in the throat. Violence is not the answer, but still.

Interesting. I haven't read it yet, but I do own it.

Yay! I'm so excited for you Grace!

Has anyone else started reading it? I forgot to update y'all as I went, but holy hell this is an important book. Did anyone else get a funny feeling about Ben the second he was introduced or was that just me? While this book wasn't as hard for me to read as some have made it seem, it was unsettling knowing that it's based on real events. I followed the case a few years back and this book made me angry all over again. Not saying no does not equal consent.

Right?! I buy so many freaking books and they're so much cheaper online! Yesterday I ordered the second Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book because of the leap day coupon. Do you shop the bargain books? You can find so many hidden gems.

Do you have a Barnes and Noble membership? Comes in handy. It's $25 for a whole year. You'll get 10% in stores, free shipping online, and loads of coupons.

My copy shipped last week and it doesn't have tracking so I'm going nuts waiting for it. Lol.

For those of you who don't know, this book is based on the Steubenville rape case from 2012. I've heard it's a hard book to read, but also that it's a very important read. Are you excited?

It's not there on mobile.
