You missed me post. I also join :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ahhh!!! Yay Gisbelle!!! I did miss your post!!!


welcome! I can't wait!

[Gisbelle]

I actually started reading chapter 1 a few days ago. But I put it aside to read other books first. It does look promising and I noticed that Janna loved it a lot too :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I've been waiting forever for my library to finally get the book and then for it to get through the hold list to me.
I'm so excited! I've been loving this cover for a while :D

[Kathy]

Ok and this too! I love a good retelling so of course I can't resist! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yes, I did! Uh.. this book was so fun. I know you guys are going to enjoy it! :D

[Angela]

I actually tried reading this a while back, when I first got a copy, and I couldn't stay interested. Maybe now I'll get through it (:

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

SO excited for this one!!!

How many were we hoping to read?

21 chapters, about 380 pages...

stopping after 6 chapters gets us to about 100 pages.

is that too much? Too little?

or do you want to do the 5 chapters and come back?

[Angela]

I think I'll go with 5 chapters today... I have a paper to write for tomorrow so I don't know how much time I have to read.

[Kathy]

I haven't got to this one yet I'll try tomorrow for 6 chapters. I'll have the house to myself all day!! YAY! :)

[Angela]

LOL I actually don't like being home alone. It's too quiet..

[Kathy]

I love it when it's quite, i get a lot of reading done!! :)

[Kathy]

I'm not going to be able to get to this one. :(

Hope you guys like it.

oh man!!! Well, no worries, if you do! Just hop right it :D

[Kathy]

Ok thanks

we'll see if I can get through the 2 I'm reading now and my last copycat. :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I know, it feels like this month just suck right by us!!!

where did it go!?!?! I'm trying to finish all my challenges too, before the end of the month!

[Kathy]

I know!! I feel it especially at work when I tell patrons when their books are due and it's next month, it goes by so fast. :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry guys, I had to finish 2 other books today...and they were sad. very sad...

so I'm going to read a few others and then pick this one back up tomorrow to finish :)

is everyone else enjoying it???

[Angela]

I'm having a hard time getting through this one. :/

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I am too...but I'm not sure why
I just finished 5 chapters...and I'm confused lol

Why did her mom say (view spoiler)[ "off with their heads" (hide spoiler)]
she's supposed to be alice, right?!?!

and who is (view spoiler)[ this guy?!?! With the dark eyes and the nice mouth? Is he the cheshire cat? Her guide...?? (hide spoiler)]

I like it, I do...I don't know why I'm struggling to pick it up.

how far did you get Angela?

[Angela]

Not very far at all...

I'm not very familiar with the story, maybe that's why. After I put it down, I just don't feel like picking it back up. I have a feeling this will take a while to finish. If I even do finish...

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Hmm, well it started 2 days ago and neither of us are too excited.

should we table it and see if we want to pick it back up another month?

I can move this thread into archives.

[Angela]

That's fine with me. I'm in a reading slump. :(

We can try again later. (:

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ok :)

[Gisbelle]

Aww... But I still need to read it for reading relay. So maybe next week then :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

hmmm...want to reschedule for next week?? I can move this back up and put it as TO read :D

what date works?

[Gisbelle]

:) Great! Do we have anything on the 3rd? I have one on May 1st

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

my book is supposed to be back to the library on 5/4.
think we can slam it out in one day?? LOL

[Gisbelle]

oh lol... In that case let's start on the 2nd.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Angela, does picking it back up May 2nd sound like a maybe??

Kathy, does this date help you???

:D

[Kathy]

Yes!!! That would be so awesome thanks :)

[Angela]

That works for me. I just renewed the book on Saturday, so I have another 3 weeks. Until then (:

[Gisbelle]

glad everyone is ok with the date :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol is everyone ready to pick this one back up tomorrow??! :D

[Gisbelle]

I'm ready! (Even I HAVE to read a few other books :))

[Angela]

Um that would depend on my exams this week. I'm taking three tomorrow and I don't think I have one the day after, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to start tomorrow. (:

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, so I'm already 5 chapters in (see comment 28) so I'll probably wait until later today to read my next 5 chapters, just in case anyone catches up and wants to chat :D

[Angela]

I'm not home yet, but I'll be able to read it when I do get home. I tried this morning, before I left and gave up. :P

[Angela]

We can chat when I get through a few more pages (: Should be in an hour or two.

[Kathy]

I probably won't get to this one till tomorrow. :(

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries
we definitely aren't racing through this one! LOL!

[Angela]

Haha. Can't say you're missing out on anything.
