Jammin Jenny’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I just finished another book - not a big one but we'll see if it's on the recommendations list.

Date Read: 12/11

So, planning for Stop #5 - in Quebec Canada

Detour:
Read a book where the author's first name is one of the top 100 female names in The Netherlands according to nameberry (http://nameberry.com/popular_names/Ne...)

I found a book that works for this...
Anyone else up for a detour?

I loved that book too but agree it was a bit hard to get into.

I'm not sure if I recommended Seveneves or not, but I read it a while ago and loved that book.
