Colleen ’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Sorry - just added Bishop’s Wife to my Uno shelf.

I did finish a book today - looks like we are good for February! Good to know so we can gear up for March! :)

Glad to hear Denise (that I'm not alone here) - did you wind up loving it?

I'll finish another book this month but doubt I'll finish two. Atonement is just going so slow for me!!! :( I just can't get to that magic 100 page mark. But maybe I'll hit on a streak here.

I just added Followers to my TBR!

Sounds good!

Go for it! I am not a cook at all and have no imagination when it comes to dreaming up my own recipes. I only wish I could sample what you come up with!

I added two books started/read in February. Please correct any errors!

Hi I’m checking in! I’m Colleen from Lakeville, MN where it won’t be warm until June. I’ll catch up tomorrow when I’m on a computer and find out what books I can add in.

Great - thank you both!

I got on the wait list. If we were added to a team how will we find out?

Loved, loved, loved this book. More than The 13th Tale. I think it may be my favorite book of the year (next to Where the Crawdads Sing). The story upon a story and the beautiful way she told it - ahhhhh, still in heaven (or on the river) with this one.

There is a huge wait list at the library for this on audio. I'll catch up soon I hope!

Congratulations Team! We placed third and I believe that's the highest I've ever been in. Thanks to the hard work by all ~ until next year! :)

Very nice Thomas - sorry to hear about the cesarean, but glad all is turning out well.

I just finished Nineteen Minutes and really enjoyed it. I love her twists.

I just finished a book - Bring Up the Bodies - and if nothing needed I'll just sit back & relax! (I'm sitting at the airport in Miami, FL waiting to return home. So glad I got this book done & out of the way while on vacation.) And well done, team. :)

Has anyone else read this book? Please let me know.

I'm good with what you guys think is easiest!

I've only ever read The Ocean at the End of the Lane which I liked well enough, but need to give some of his other books a try.
