Hey Vic. I totally forgot that we need to read it for next week theme reading. If we start Sunday, we might not finish in time. So I am thinking how about we start Thursday 6?

here the thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...


message 29: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Too bad it needs to be of YA genre (had a lovely book I wanted to read) :(.

Mehsi Thanks, I love horror stories too.

Trisha | 30284 comments well, I had to switch mine because I finished Five Flavors of Dumb over the weekend before this challenge started. LOL

so I read The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux last night! :D

I just recently read that too!! What did you think? Of the writing style (verse) and the stories??


message 38: by Angela (new)

Angela | 17461 comments I finished Number the Stars by Lois Lowry yesterday, but I didn't plan to read that. I'm probably not starting Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn until next week.


message 39: by Kelli (last edited Dec 09, 2012 01:34PM) (new)

Kelli Brown | 7 comments I think I am going to try


The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

I think it is a standalone.

Finished on 12/8/2012! Pretty good read!


message 40: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments @Kelli, yes it is absolutely a standalone :) I hope you like it cuz I loved it!!


message 41: by Jasmine (new)

Jasmine | 321 comments Finished The Boy Recession by Flynn Meaney 12/6 (4 stars)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments congrats Jasmine :) I am still reading mine :D

Jasmine | 321 comments Gisbelle wrote: "congrats Jasmine :) I am still reading mine :D"

Haha thanks! although perhaps mine is a short story so i could finish it faster ;p


message 44: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I keep changing my mind hehe... Now either The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay or Caregiver by Rick R. Reed since both are standalone. Whichever I finish finish first :)


message 45: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments finished Caregiver by Rick R. Reed (3 stars). It was an ok MM romance.


message 46: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Giselle, we were supposed to buddy read The Sea of Tranquility. Can you still do it soon?


message 47: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I am still reading it, Vic. Trisha finished a few days ago. I am in chapter 12 now.
