Thank you, Bojana, for all your hard work putting this together. I appreciate you taking the time to create this space for discussion.
Thanks for putting this together. I love checking out what other books our classmates are reading!
Bojana thanks for the invite, I completely forgot about this course! I am signed up and ready to go.
Great job putting the group together - Thank you!
Thanks so much for setting this up, Bojana!
This is great! Just getting started with Grimm! This will definitely help with my reading goal for this year!
I am very excited about this course. I am about 70 pages into the copy of Grimm's Household Tales that I have. It is a translation by Lucy Crane, but a different publisher from the listed eBook on the syllabus. My copy is published by Mediamorphosis, Vintage Books Restored, and is 316 pages. A quick cross-reference indicates these are the same stories.
Hey! Just a quick note. I don't mean to be rude, but please let me get to know you guys (and let yourselves get to know me) before we start adding each other as friends over here. We might be terribly incompatible! ;PAnyway, I'd like to know a bit about everyone here before adding people so that we make sure we'll like to read each other's reviews and comments on our feeds. Again, no disrespect meant! Have a great course!!
Anyone can add me as a friend if you'd like. I'm always up for expanding my interests. Thanks for setting everything up, Bojana.
Anyone can add me as well. No worries here. I like everyone.
Hi! Anyone can add me as friends, so go ahead if you want to. I can see Iziur's poit, but I think that seeing what books one has read/is currently reading/wants to read is already a good way to get to know him, so it's all up to you - if you want to be my GR friend, just hit the 'send request' button and you can count on me accepting it :)
Thank you Bojana for making this group! I look forward to getting to know all of you. As you can tell, I'm brand knew to Goodreads. I keep hearing about it, but have never checked it out. I guess now would be a great time! How is everyone getting along with their reading?
Great idea to form this goodreads group! Thank you, Bojana!
Hello everyone. I'm glad to see this goodreads group. I just finished Brothers Grimm, yay! I'm glad this class got me to read it in entirety. You'll find that a ton of what I read is fantasy, so if you like the same kinds of books, feel free to add me and I'll add you back. Just mention where you found me!
Hello classThank you Bojana for creating this group. I am looking forward to exchanging opinions with you all.
I have so far finished Grimm's, Dracula an Princess of Mars is at 89% on my Kindle, I am trying to get ahead with the reading. One of the weeks I will be on holiday.
It is lovely to read all these books again many years later and have a different perspective on the stories. My mum used to read me Grimm's when I was quite small.
Don't forget, Hawthorne/Poe essays are due today!
God forbid!How many of us out there are still on board?

I'm still here. Got a 5.5 for my Poe essay and a recurring nightmare about ravens who say Nevermore.
I'm still here as well. Staying in for the long haul!
Are you still there? Fed up about comments on my latest essay and I would like a second opinion. http://louisecharente.wordpress.com/2...
You can also add books to the group's bookshelf. At the moment, only the mandatory readings are added. Feel free to add any book you would like to recommend to the group, as well as (and especially) books that are recommended by the instructor.
Any suggestions on improving this group are very welcome.
Happy reading!
