Suzanne’s Comments (group member since Apr 15, 2011)

Suzanne’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult, but not sure if I can finish it in time. When do I need to have it finished?

Finished Island of the Blue Dolphins!

Would count, it's 184 pages?

I finished reading and it was awful. The only reason why I finished it was because it started with an O and had a pretty cover...blech...

I'm going to start , hopefully it will be better.

I've got an O and an A for , I should have it finished by tomorrow!

I've finished !
