Stephanie’s comments from the Square In Wonderland Book Club group.

Here is the discussion area that we will talk about The Distance Between Us GENERAL (which means as non-spoilery as possible :)

We will have spoilery discussion posts up soon! :)

WOOOOO! I am so glad that you will be a first time reader! I LOVE THIS SERIES!"

I'm reading it mostly on my kindle because the light bothers Joe while he's trying to sleep and with my kindle, i don't need the light. so I don't see how long it is by that. but I don't know what's wrong with me... I am determined to finish it though! It is only the 10th of July...

Does it pick up, or no?

Shellee wrote: "I am glad I am not the only one having problems moving along. I am on chapter 35 but not making the progress I usually make. By now I would normally be on book 3. :/"

I'm sorry to hear that Shellee! I put it down for now. I'll probably pick it up after I finish Jesse's Girl. I have a blog tour post for tomorrow for that book, so that one has to take precedence.

But I hope it picks up the pace for you soon! Hopefully after Jesse's Girl, I'll be out of whatever slump I'm in!

So, I'm slowly getting through this book. I don't know if it is the book or if I am just going through a slump, but I haven't really been reading anything a whole lot in the past week and a half... I really need to get out of this slump.

I'm only on like Chapter 8 of this book. :/

lol, Hannah, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. however, I believe that those are the colors on your flag too! :)

FINISHED: 7/23/15

I'm in! :)

Hello everyone! I've noticed that there are some book clubs that offer challenges on a monthly basis. I've seen a few different kinds of challenges but I really like the Cover Color Challenge.

Since it's July and it's almost Independence Day, I figured I'd let you guys choose either RED, WHITE, or BLUE for the cover.

For this challenge:
1. To sign up, comment below saying "I'm in" or something along that sort.
2. Choose ANY book that has a cover with the COLOR of the month.
3. Post the book's cover in a comment below.
4. When you have finished reading the book, comment with the book's cover, when you finished, and what you'd rate it.
5. HAVE FUN!

EXAMPLE of what the finished product would look like
ORANGE:
FINISHED: 1/5/15
RATING: 5*

If you'd like you can explain in a sentence or two why you liked the book or why you didn't like the book. But that's not necessary.

PARTICIPANTS:
1. Stephanie 4*
2. Dana
3. Shellee 5*

I'm only a few pages in right now. How do you think the name is pronounced? Ismae (Iz-May? or like Eez-May?) Rienne (Re-En? or like Rain?)
