have anyone yet read/wanted to read Six Months Later ? The reviews are all good, but I am still hesitating......"


i've never even heard of it. i just looked at it, and i don't think i have a very strong desire to read it at this point.

it's an aptitude test...when i was young it was divided into two sections...English language arts and Math.
now it's divided into three sections...English(reading comprehension, word comprehension etc), Math (all different types), and Writing

It's pretty much used as a general intelligence test that college entrance people look at.

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments is it crazy that i've taken up couponing as a hobby? ever since i finally saw that show, extreme couponing, i'm a little hooked.

weird...i know. :/ but it all started because i wanted to put money aside for my trip to the YALL book conference in November.

I collect coupons when I can. we don't get them in the UK quite the way you get them in the states though. we're lucky to get a coupon from morrisons for £2 off when you spend £40!

i shop at target for a lot of things, cereal, canned goods, frozen etc.

i can use a manufacturers internet coupon + a target web coupon + my 5% off using my Target card + any discounts on their Cartwheel phone app all on the same item!

How about that one for tesco at christmas?
£10 off if you spend £40 a week for 3 weeks.. then you can only use it after spending another £40? Crazy.

Bitter blood (13) wasn't as good as the others. I was bored with that one. I'm hoping 14 is more exciting though, so the last one isn't really bad.

Morrison's did something similar, but I can't find £40 worth of stuff to buy 5 weeks in a row and I get told off for stockpiling -apparently we don't have the space.

Asda did one where you got free delivery if you spent over £100. Didn't use that one either.

Lol! Right now all I know for sure is tgat he wants to be a spaceman-zombie for halloween.

He did pull my old microbiology text down yesterday and kept wanting me to tell him what every picture was about. He digs looking at viruses.

Sarah, are you a textbook hoarder?? :P :P

Greta, he already knows about photosynthesis? huh, it's not even 3G era anymore, it has become 4G!!! ;) :P

I lost motivation and gave up on it. it started with some random people wandering round a random place and talking about radiation levels. i didn't quite have the motivation to read the end of the first one again to work out what was going on. I'll probably give it another chance at some point because I really liked the first one. I'll let you know if i start it again!

you liked the first one abbie? I really liked it, but I was possibly just not in the mood last night.

I only read the first few pages so it might still be good. I vaguely recalled what happened at the end of book 1 (view spoiler) something like that. I suppose I will have to re-read part of here and then try reading there again. Somebody told me to read there quickly after here or you forgot what had happened. they were obviously right! maybe i just need a reading buddy!

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be on here much for the rest of this month. I started my new job at the bookstore today and since the store is new to the area, there wasn't much that was already set up so I'll be helping with set up until we open. I should be back on here during the day starting in November though! I'll hop on as much as I can between now and then :)
