Kaseadillla’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

Welcome, Emily!

And Welcome, Ben! Hope you find some good recommendations here!

Sarah that's what I thought was so impressive about this book - it literally got my heart pumping. Very rarely do I feel so affected while reading, and this was just so well done in those parts.

I think I really took to this also because it was the little things that made this feel epic, and therefore, so real. Any part where they were discussing history and what happened the last time "IT" showed up in town, how they pieced it all together... I was so intrigued and interested in those parts. I wish I could write something like this.

So I started this, loved it, and then proceeded to lose the book. WHAT. so I'm on a like 3 month hiatus on this book, been sitting in my "currently reading" for forever.
yikes
hoping to pick it back up/find another copy.

Welcome, Simon! Trust me you're not alone - most people only read 1 BOTM if at all, most join in when the book they like is chosen. Nothing is required - join in when you want!

Maybe we put The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe up for nomination, and then if people want to continue the series we can add discussion threads in the "Buddy read" section for those who want to keep going and discuss?

Welcome, Ashley! Urban Fantasy is my guilty pleasure genre for sure.

Gotcha! I don't have a preference, but I'll be honest I'd be more likely to get through one book (200ish pages) vs. all 7. See whatever else thinks?

Any books count. Can you list them out and include your house in a new comment? Then I can count them! Thanks

to clarify, Narnia voters I'm assuming you mean the first book in the series, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
