I haven't watched PLL this week or last. I fell behind since I can't stop watching Lost long enough to watch anything else. Haha!

I really liked it! In fact I've liked all of her books that I've read so far. Luckily I've been able to match all of her books with our current challenge :) I hope you like it too!
I have a question about "10.4 Back to the Future – read a book where the main character travels in time"Does a book about a woman who wakes up and is suddenly 10 years older and tries to re-construct her life count for this task? Or is this too much of a stretch?
Thanks :)

Waiting for the DVDs of Season 2 to be released next week.

Although I guess it all worked out in the end. At least she didn't end up with Berger (post-it guy)!

Tina, how did you like this? I have a number of her books on my to read list but this isn't one of them. Should I add it?

I really enjoyed it! I liked it better than Hope in a Jar, if you've read that one. My suggestion would be to add it. Hope you like it, let me know either way :)

In real life, I don't know what happened. Maybe he got picked up for another TV show or they had "creative differences." In any event, he's not on it anymore. It's so funny because every time I watch Scandal I think this is so silly and unrealistic (compared to a show like House of Cards with Kevin Spacey), yet I'm totally addicted to it and can't stop watching. I think because it's just fast paced and very soapy. Gotta love a good nighttime soap!
Beth wrote: "Bianca wrote: "Beth wrote: "Stacy wrote: "Bianca wrote: "Stacy wrote: "Beth wrote: "Bianca wrote: "Beth wrote: "Bianca wrote: "Wow I need to hurry up and finish these books!

I haven't seen House of Card yet either...so many shows I need to watch!

Hey Stacy, I have a question. For 5.9 Fast Times at Ridgemont High – read a book set in high school, does the entire book have to be set in high school? In a book I read, two characters have known each other their whole lives and a lot of times their past is brought up. They talk about high school, college, etc. So the whole book isn't set in high school since they're like 30 but they do talk about their past memories a lot, including high school. Let me know what you think!

Do whatever you need to do to make it fit. If it's partially set in high school, that's good enough for me. :) Sorry I didn't get to you sooner. I haven't spent much time at home lately. LOL
