"Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to add all of the group books to your personal bookshelf without doing it 1-by-1. I've given this feedback to Goodreads before, not sure where they are on it. Cheryl's link above is what I used too!

Welcome, Marysha!
"I didn't say I liked it, Harry. I said it fascinated me. There is a great difference." what a great quote. In fact, I think this one of my favorite things about this book is the fact that I highlighted something of every page. The writing... someone else said it already, but so quotable.
I love that so many people in this thread and in the group have commented that they never would have read this without it being BOTM, and they found they loved it! I felt the same! Never would have picked this up otherwise.
In the very last scene, I felt like I knew what was coming and wanted to shout "Don't do it you will kill your soul!" Can a body live without a soul? and Vice versa? something I kept thinking about when Henry/Harry kept prattling on about sin and senses and morality.
Announcement for all of our athletes:The EHRTBM Olympics end TOMORROW NIGHT, FEB 24, AT MIDNIGHT. Please get your last entries in before that time!
The final tally will be taken on Monday, So if you complete a book on Saturday and post Sunday, you should be fine. If you wait to post on Monday, I cannot guarantee those entries will be counted.
Thanks all, and happy reading!

Welcome, Alyssa! Would love your input on some books to read as a group considering you're classes!
I had such momentum until I got to chapter 11... it talked so much about tapestries and random historic figures that I got so bored I had to put it down. Ugh. Restarting
