Karli’s comments from the Busy as a Bee Books group.

I actually write reviews for each of them Tanya, so check it out if you want!

I have finished The Bees and The Good Luck of Right Now this week. Both were solid reads with engaging stories and good prose. 4 stars to each.

LOOKING FOR ADVICE/HELP: I'm struggling with trying to find some sort of camp/class for my 11 year old son. He is the most imaginative, creative child I've ever encountered, and he comes up with multiple concepts, characters, back stories, powers, drawings etc for games or stories or whatever. It is utterly mind blowing and frustrating to see all this crazy creativity just flowing with no good outlet. I want him to be somewhere or experience a place and people who can get as excited about his concepts out with kids on his level. There is nothing we have been able to find in ND, MN, SD...do any of you know of any camps, academies etc that you could recommend? This group is so diverse, and located all over the US and Canada- I'm trying to use all my resources. Thanks guys!

I don't think I can see it as a movie. Am I a snob

Sweet!!! Found it.

This is LONG. I'm a little over half through, I can't read it nearly as quickly as a fiction book, so I'm bouncing between this and The Bees

I saw JK Rowling posted a new HP story to Pottermore, I quickly attempted to join…and apparently the site has crashed from 80 million other people just like me.

Yay new member! welcome Sue!

I started this last night. Interesting so far.

Ditto - Karli Kappedal- Hoekstra.

I couldn't keep reading. It was just too depressing. :(

This wasn't on the library's ebooks. Neither was Slammed. Hmmph.

I'm 50th on the waiting list, but hey, I'm there.

I would enjoy a FB group, but I see it more as an extension of "The Bees" threads where we share personal things. I have grown to care about you guys and would enjoy seeing you via FB.

I've been reading a ton, but now I'm slowing down. I started a novella - The Boy Who Dared, and After Her.

I know the library has this one, if checked it out once but didn't get to it.

I don't remember pictures either. Just Oskar. I loved him!

Crimeny. My tbr just swelled from these few posts!

I really liked this one too - I found the story and characters to be even more memorable than TTW but the two books are oceans apart. I agree, don't expect a book like TTW.

I too have this on my tbr, and physical bookshelves but haven't read it. Must be closer to time.
