How’s your heart, Tricia?

Petra - you may have convinced me to try more of this series. Thank you.

So, my box came today - ultimately I chose with the add ons and

I read this one a few years ago, and it wasn't my favorite...it moved a little slow for me. I'm interested to hear what the rest of you think.

The Whisper Man was AWESOME!!!! 5 stars!

I've read it now - it's soooooo good!!!! I loved how well the book was able to mingle the science, the psychology and the emotional burden this concept carries. My husband is now listening to it on Audible. :) LOVED.

So, I finished this a few nights ago - and I gave it 4 stars. I thought it was really good, and the issues dealt with feel very real to me. The central characters, Peter and Kate, are my contemporaries - so that always gives me more investment in the characters. And, there were several uncomfortable questions and scenarios...and dammit, this mid-life crisis shit is a little much right now!

But - book is legit, enjoyable and was well done.

Like, so cheesy you're too embarrassed to keep reading?

Yay!!! And we have another month plus for others to join the fun!

I chose . I don't know which other books I will choose. sounds like it would crush me at this point.

I got because it sounded a lot like - it wasn't as good as that one, but I did enjoy it.

I skipped this month, but I got at Target.

I got Recursion in June, but was in California in July and forgot to BOTM.

I didn't know there was a limit! I chose and

is one of my favorite books ever, so I jumped at another by Bryn Greenwood. The Whisper Man just sounds great.

So, I realize I'm coming to the party late...I listened to this on audiobook after a friend raved about it. And I loved it. I guess I've read enough books about fundamentalist religions that when it comes to some of that insanity (including BYU being willing to accept a student who was totally not typical) it was easier for me to suspend disbelief. There are a lot of things I don't know much about, and the degrees of burns her father had...and recovering...well, that does seem crazy, but I guess miracles do happen.

I think I gave this one 5 stars - if not, it was at least 4. I really enjoyed it.

Sold - if nothing else, I bet my husband will enjoy reading it too.

I love Abbi Waxman - she's even joined our Bee's to participate...this is a must read.

This also sounds like it would be totally up my ally!!! Will look at B&N on Wednesday!

Oh dear - this sounds so good, but also so hard...

Do I dare tackle it right now?

Oh dear - I'm trying to learn the "me sometimes too" lesson...adding to my list...but perhaps library rather than purchase?
