Oh yer Happy thanksgiving. I hope you ate a heap.

Karen - i think you mean Chris and Emily. I know there are a lot of characters to keep straight. I kept forgetting which parent was married to whom.

Yer i know what you mean. I can understand that she is mourning the loss of her daughter however she is taking the easy way and blaming someone else instead of understanding that maybe she missed something

So i spent the first 30mins at work today finishing the book because i just couldnt stop with so few pages to go. The book itself certainly makes you think about how you can't always see the signs of depression and how important it is to have conversations with them.

Im halfway through and i am loving it. It does help having read Jodi Picoult before as i know her writing style.

i am loving it, although sometimes i have to remind myself that i am in public as it gets emotional

So even though i have a gazillion books currently started, i started this last night and i am loving it. It reminds me a lot of nineteen minutes which is my favourite Jodi Picoult book

Thanks yer i had an injury on sunday at aerial training but the X-ray is more to rule out a fracture

Book will be in the library for me tomorrow

I am going to try and get it tonight. I need to have an xray on my back so it depends on when i get out.

Oh great December I'm thinking xmas themed

Garh sorry I've been missing in action. I love Jodi picoult and I haven't read the pact so that would be my choice.

Yer Dashti is an easy narrator to read and by having the book as a diary it was an easy read

Yer it was at the very back. Basically just spoke about Mongolia and the Eternal Blue Sky and the orginal Grimm Brother story. Didn't have much but explained that's where it came from.

Yer Shannon had a decription in the back of where the ideas came from and the research she did before writing the book.

Hey Karen,

Yer i finished it today. i didn't mind the last 100 pages but the book just felt very end heavy rather than having a consistent build-up throughout. I think i would have enjoyed it more if i had read it when i was a young teenager (13-14) as i don't see it as a young adult book, more a middle grade/ junior fiction (which is where my library has it listed as)

I don't know that I was such a fan of this book. I kind of felt that there was 200 pages of nothing and then things only started happening in the last 100.

Read-a-tons are awesome some also have challenges so over the week you have to try reading books that fit those. I find they can be a good way to tackle my enormous tbr pile/list/bookcase. A good one is readyourbookshelf-a-thon

exactly i really like how you guys have set this one up. The other thing i tried was the postal book club but no one stayed with it

Trust me its hard to get over the voice issue. But i could never find a group that would last or read similar books, so i wanted somewhere to discuss. Plus i find the read-a-thons fun

Kristy i totally understand. i used to do Booktube videos and i was reading so much but then i stopped. Thinking about getting back into them though as it gave the outlet to discuss books even if it is just with my camera lol

Hey All, when do you think we will start the next book. It doesn't seem like it would take long. just want to know if i should start something else first.

Confession time i have started reading the Iron Daughter this morning. I couldnt wait to see where this story goes.
