Please join us in reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman



Synopsis: After the grisly murder of his entire family, a toddler wanders into a graveyard where the ghosts and other supernatural residents agree to raise him as one of their own.

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family . . .

Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.

You don't have to participate in the Group Read - it's entirely up to you, but if you read the book along with us or have already read it, we would love to hear your comments, questions, thoughts, etc. That's what makes the Group Read fun! Please keep from posting too many spoilers early in the month, though, as people might still be reading it. If you feel that you might "spoil" a part of the book by commenting, be sure to put something like "***Spoiler Alert***" or something to let others know to read at their own risk! And make sure to have fun!

Okay, I'm assuming Christie read the most. Christie, please PM me with you're book of the month choice and I'll be sure to add it. :)

Sounds like a plan! I'll have to go out and get a copy of TGoYaM, but I have Deception and BtDatDBS. We can start reading together anytime after next Wednesday - I have my last final then, then I'll be free to read for the rest of the summer! :D

Well... Because you said please so nicely, I guess I can. ;P

And love the list! We should totally Buddy Read Deception.

Tisk, Tisk Riya. *Shakes Head Disapprovingly*

But okay, lol

How about Perfect Lies, then?

Here's the list of books I hope to get to:

Crash Into You
Let The Storm Break
Dorothy Must Die
The Geography of You and Me
City of Heavenly Fire
The Winner's Curse
Spirit - Read

Just wanted to say, The Help is one of my all-time favorite books. Love it! :D

Siege and Storm
Never Fade
Unsouled

So, did anyone read over 9 books? Is it okay to declare Christie the winner? I wanna make sure it's fair...

Finished it last night! The ending really turned things around for me. At first I wasn't very impressed with the book, but now I think I'll give Never Fade a chance at some point. :)
