Hello everyone!

I'm digging through, hoping to catch up quick :)

- is there anything quick I can do for the team? Looks like we need someone to read Rosemary and Rue?

Oh, and my shelf is: NBRC Luna Lovegood Tower

I'm sorry guys, I think I'm out for this one

I'm just not liking it. And I have so little reading time these days that I don't want to spend it on a book I already know I don't like....

:< I hope you guys like it more than me!!!

Sorry guys, Birthday celebrations kept me from getting further in my reading! i'll pick it back up again tomorrow :D

awe, no worries! I'm sorry you have to wait!! We're just slowly moving along :) we'll be here when you get it!

2nd post: stop AFTER September 18 2000 (@98 pages)

Eliza(view spoiler)[ ugh. I'm completely disappointed in her. I can't believe she already slept with Paul. (hide spoiler)]

Paul(view spoiler)[ meh. this guy is just not....interesting to me. their first banter, I thought they'd be friends for a while before he just suddenly "changes" and becomes this amazing guy. Meh. I just don't buy it (hide spoiler)]

Vera(view spoiler)[I completely agree. It's her turn to get schooling done- she shouldn't have to keep putting her dreams and goals on hold while he finds his. If he wants to stay in the band, he should find a job that supports them AND gives him time to be in the band
seems like that's what Paul did.... (hide spoiler)]

It's supposed to come from the library via home delivery. As soon as I receive it, I'll start it and post my update. Sorry ladies!"

No worries, we'll be here while you read it :)

Oh, yeah! No problem :) book was sitting next to me so it was easy to do :)

1st post: Stop BEFORE July 25 2000 (50 pages)

Paul(view spoiler)[ I knew as soon as she said the roommate would be waiting for her at the bus station that it was the guy that told her not to get on that train! lol
I love that she missed him
but his love life is a mess.
Interesting that we got a chapter from his POV. I wonder how that will be as we go along (hide spoiler)]

Michael.....the guitarist(view spoiler)[ I don't know, I have to agree with Vera. she was pretty good with waiting 3 years for her dreams to let him follow his. I don't think she should have to wait any longer. Ya know? Otherwise, I like her brother so far (hide spoiler)]

New Job(view spoiler)[ lol Lucy is awful but funny - what a horrible creature she is. she'll be tough to turn around
I love the new boss - he's just like "don't care, do your job, put in your time"
I love that her first CD to review - wasn't that Limp Bizkit? hahah!! I love that she hated it! hilarious!
I like that she's going to the bar the boys play at. sucks that Paul got the offer and not the group (hide spoiler)]

and so far I love two lines:

"Tell me what you listen to and I'll tell you who you are"

and

"It just seems like a bad idea," I said, " swallowing a liquid that can be set on fire."

This was a good book intro, I hope you guys like it too!

Yeah, I have a rough schedule for us:

1st post: Stop BEFORE July 25 2000 (50 pages)
2nd post: stop AFTER September 18 2000 (@98 pages)
3rd post: stop AT Part II (@ 150 pages)
4th post: stop BEFORE January 14th, 2002 (@ 198 pages)
5th post: stop BEFORE chapter that starts "I convinced myself it was victory." (@ 251 pages)
6th post: stop BEFORE August 4, 2002 (@ 302 pages)
7th post: stop AT Part III (@ 345 pages)
8th post: Final post (finish book)

if this looks okay, I think it's the easiest way to try to stop at the same points so we don't post spoilers :D

I like it! 50 pages is perfect!!

and Good luck Gryffindors!!

Hello everyone!
this is my first buddy read in this group!

So, looking at the book - looks like we don't have chapters numbers. Yikes

a few chapters do have dates
and there are "Parts" to the book - but they are pretty few and far between..

Do we want to post based on Chapter dates (so we don't spoil things for each other? )
