message 1: by Jenna (new)

Jenna Melberg | 78 comments I don't really have a good plan. I would like to read all of the cool new books that everyone is talking about, and I would like to read all of the classics I have missed. And I would like to reread a few favorites. Plus I am in three bookclubs so I need to work in those selections. So it's going to be a busy year! Let's aim for 75 and see how it goes.

message 19: by Jenna (new)

Jenna Melberg | 78 comments I thought it was a bit slow in parts and then I would burst out crying. I think that it was meant to be slow at times. I enjoyed reading it. If you do decide to read it, let me know what you think about the ending.
