And yay! Glad you can join us!
Okay, I am going out on a limb here, so if this book is no good, I'm coming after you, Kathy! LOLI am going to read this with you ladies if I can take my sweet time. LOL It looks like a great book and it's only $3.99. :o) Or I might see if it's in the library. My library sucks!
I might join too. I bought this at the bookstore a few days ago in hardcover for $4! :D

Ok!! I think we should take this one slow too! It's a monster of a book! lol!! :D
I remember we had a schedule for reading so many chapters a day. I found it on the other BR. Here it is, we can use it if you want or another one.
Day 1: A Late-Summer Evening - The Hearts of Men
Day 2: Things Not Said - Life and Death
Day 3: The House on the Hill - The Tombs
Day 4: Pack Up Your Troubles - Everything Will Be Fine
Day 5: A Goodly Heritage - Sitting on Top of the World
I might actually start it on the 8th because of my schedule that week, but the reading schedule looks good to me.
That schedule looks good!
:D I usually don't read this genre so I am excited to see how this goes!
I loved Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle series so I am excited to start this one!
I've had this for so long, but I haven't gotten more than a chapter or two in. Mind if I tag along?

joining it is a monster so is been sitting on my shelf for a while. This should be awesome.
I just got this from the library. I'd like to join in.
Yay!! Aisha and Jessica, so glad you guys can join us!! :D
Hey, are we ready to start this yesterday? LOLI will begin it tonight but will have to take this one slowly!
Me too! I may not start until tomorrow! I need to get at least one book done before I start another! lol! :D
I just started. I've never read Libba Bray before. She has a much more detailed style than I'm used to, but the fast pace makes it go by quickly. This is a huge book, it's going to take me a while to finish this.
Jessica, we're planning on it taking a while too.
I really liked the Gemma Doyle series, by Libba Bray. I haven't started yet either. I was kind of hoping the audiobook would become available in the next day or so from my library as I have too many book books on the go. I will have to use my time machine in a few days to go back to yesterday and start on time.
Can I come with you?? lol! I'll try to start tomorrow, but it might not be until later at night. :)
Sure, I will use my teleporter to come and get you and then we can both back in my time machine. LOL.I am not sure when I can start. Not today. Maybe not tomorrow either.
I know! Me too, I'm not going to get any reading done this week. I'm working all day everyday! I can't wait until we are done moving!! We shelved pretty much everything yesterday and I don't go in until 1 today but I'm off at 8 tonight because another girl and I are going to the high school for card sign ups! Yay! lol!
So I can some reading in today before I go into work! :D
Can you listen to audiobooks while shelving? I will be painting today and therefore listening to audio but sadly all of my current BR are not in audio. Well except for Eleanor and Park but I am almost finished that one. So it looks like instead of working on BR I will get further behind by listening to something that isn't even on my February read list.
I wish but no, I think my boss would frown on that! She and one of directors has been helping us too. I have noticed one of the IT guys listening to something because he has ear buds on and I was jealous! lol!! :DYes! I'm so behind on BRs! I need to read faster! lol!
I just need to use my time more wisely. Read instead of wasting time on GR and TV.
lol! I know right! I spend a lot of time on GR updating everything! Really I need to stay away from the "Want a Buddy Read" thread! For a while at least! lol! :D
LOL Yes! I already have 10 scheduled for March and with the the team challenge starting up again I don`t want to schedule too many. I need to have time free to put in the four random books we will need to read.
Yes!! Exactly! And also the time to look for a good one! lol!! :D
Mandiann, did you ever get the audio for this one?I plan to start it soon, tomorrow hopefully. :)
STAY AWAY!!' Lol That's my new mantra. But it's SO HARD!!!! I'm addicted! Lol
lol! I know! It's so hard! I can't help myself! :D
It just shows our hearts! :o) Good as gold. LOL
Yes, I did get the audio for this one!! But I started the ebook before I received the audio version. I am currently 14%, at the beginning of Evie's Dream. I have never done this before but I think with this one I may actually switch back and forth between audio and ebook, depending what I am doing when I am able to read.
So far I am really liking the character and world development.
At first I was shocked and concerned when Evie (view spoiler)

I have actually been doing fairly well at staying away, at least for the past three days. Hopefully I can keep it up until I am ready to schedule April!!! :)
lol! I have not been doing so well! I have scheduled 3 or 4 more for March and I'm full to bursting now! lol! No more for me! lol!! :D
Wow!! How many BR do you have for March? And you are doing the Team Challenge too, right? Hopefully some of your BR fit the movie criteria.I am still sitting at 10 BR for March but am thinking of joining one more in the last few days of March so really it's almost an April BR....right??
19 BRs!! lol! I'm a mess! Yeah, I can't say no to the team challenge! It's my favorite of all the ones for our group! Yeah, that's what I think about those at the end of the month. They always carry over! I have only 2 for April and I'm trying really hard not to book any right now! Trying to wait at least a little while! :D
Wow! 19 BR! Good Luck. Last month I only read 19 books in total, so I think my 10 or 11 is attainable.Yes, the team challenge is my favourite too! I basically put all of my reading on hold come Monday to focus on the movie book. I love being able to interact with my team! I hope we get more people joining.
Is there a new sign up for team challenge or did I miss something?
Thanks!! I can't believe I overlooked this!! Glad you two were discussing it here! I love that challenge and hope more people sign up.
I also hope more people sign up. I am tempted to PM specific people who I think may enjoy it, inviting them to join. If we don't get a few more soon, we may not have enough.
Well, I've been looking at that thread on the homepage and didn't see it and I was wondering when We'd have it again. So maybe others have not realized it's up either.
I am just over 1/4 into this one, at the beginning of 'A Rind of Moonlight'. I really like the large cast of characters and switching between e and audio book isn't as bad as I feared it might be.I was so scared for (view spoiler)
Has anyone else had a chance to start?
