Happy New Year to all. Lets win this thing!
Happy New Years to you too
Does everyone know what their first book of 2012 will be? I'm thinking of starting with
which is 400 pages
My first book of the year will be
And Happy New Year everyone!!
Go, Team Awesome!
I might start
Lizz, the ebook version of that book doesn't record page numbers. So you might want to mark the paperback one as read. BTW, I've wanted to that book for a long time. Let me know how it goes!

Happy New Year, Susan! Looks like you're starting the year off with a little sizzle :)

Eeep! I just said something crazy, anyway. As long as the paperback has more than 170 pages I think you can mark the ebook as 'read' if that's what you are reading.

Okay. The original link lead to the kindle version. But I'm glad LK fixed the link nonetheless.

"Hey, Joanne! Happy New Year! I think you are starting your year with a great book. The Hunger Games is definitely one of my favorite books of all time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Do y'all think we should all have the same shelf name? I think that might be easier

❥☪LIZZ NEILL☪❥ wrote: "Who wants to be captain?"I think we should wait a little bit to pick a captain. It'll give us time to get a feel of everyone.

We're 30 minutes past midnight on my side of town.

Well, it's officially Jan 1 where I am. I fell asleep, as usual, around 10:30 but was woken up by fireworks and yelling, something I'm not used to. Our town has made fireworks illegal for some reason. But we're at Hubs's place in Georgia. I guess I should start reading since I'm awake ;)
