35559 Hi Team Sedna. I just wanted to say good game (or challenge?) and that you all gave Team Anubis a run for our money this month. Hopefully see you in TTV and the BOM discussions!

35559 Thanks Team Sphnix and Team Raven!

Definitely doing TTV. This challenge got me to read books that I do not normally read and to read books that have been on my TBR list forever.

35559 Awesome!!! Congrats everyone!

I am sort of sad that it is over but have been wanting to read some less than 100 page books and graphic novels. I still have to read Cress and Winter since I got to write DQs for Winter BOM in 2 days...

When is Tower Team V Challenge, lol?

Q34 The girl's father comes to each of them to say goodbye. Did you realise what he had planned ? Did this change your opinion of him ?

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Q36 Vianne's reunion with Antoine was not what she had dreamed off. She said she was naive in her belief that staying alive was all that mattered. Antoine said "it's not the forgetting we need Vianne" It's remembering" Do think this is true ?

Yes.

Q37 Sophie told her mother is was too late to protect her. Her mother tells her love has to be stronger than hate or there is no future for us. Do you believe this. Could you forgive or forget ?

Yes. Yes.

Q38 Isabelle and Vivanne survived the same war in different ways. Did you think one was stronger than the other ? Do you think you could have survived in either of their places ?

No. No.

Q39 "Men tell stories, Women get on with it " Do you agree with this ?

Yes.

Q40 Vianne kept her one secret. Do you think she did the right thing. Do you think Antoine knew ?

Yes. Yes.

Q41 What did you think of the ending. Believable ? Disappointing ? Did you enjoy the book overall ? would you read more by this author ?

I think it wrapped everything up nicely. I liked this book overall and I have wanted to read more by this author for a while.

35559 "As to the Sunday school—it had been the resignation of its superintendent and two of its teachers that had been the last straw, and that had sent the harassed minister to the quiet woods for prayer and meditation." Page 230. Just added the book to my shelf
