[Mandiann]

Megan and I are reading this in September. Please join us.

[Mandiann]

I didn't realize it was verse. The cover caught my eye. Excited for it!!

[Megan]

Thanks Mandiann! I got to preview the first twenty pages and I just flew threw it, I have high hopes for this one.

[Vicki]

I loved this one! Hope you girls do, too! :o)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ooh, I'm in!

[Vicki]

I absolutely loved this book. I hope you all do too! Happy reading!

[Mandiann]

Still waiting for my copy.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries, let's kick this one out

want to wait a week?
or 2?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm going to kick it out a week, to 9/11

I hope that works for you Megan. Let me know if there are any issues!! Or we can just check in around the 11th and see if everyone has their copy!

[Megan]

Sorry I've been missing these last couple days!

Spotty wifi and Netflix got in the way of any actual reading at the start of the week!

The eleventh actually works great for me because there's only three copies in circulation in my library district so it's been slow moving getting it.

Excited to start, and glad to have so many buddies to discuss with!

[Mandiann]

Finally go my book. Anyone still up for this?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yes, I'm starting now too :)

[Mandiann]

I won't be able to start until tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

so...I read it today

sorry I didn't update. I was waiting at a parade and just kind of...blasted through it

I think maybe I was in the wrong mindset or...maybe wrong place (in a huge, raining parking area with Girl Scouts waiting to throw candy in a parade :D) - this one just did not connect with me.

but I"m really interested to see what you think Mandiann!! I hope you like it more than I did!

[Mandiann]

Wow, okay. I am sorry you didn`t enjoy it. Well I still havent started. Work/life has left little time for reading. Will try to get to it soon.

So far I have been unimpressed with verse books I have tried so my hopes aren't high. If it weren't for the cover, I doubt I would have picked this one at all.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know, the cover is gorgeous
and the topic is really touching and a great addition to subject matter that maybe doesn't get tackled in YA enough.

ugh, I hate that I didn't love it.....

I usually love verse books... Yikes. well, if you don't get time anytime soon, no worries. I'll be here when you get to it :)

[Vicki]

I'm sorry you didn't like it, Trisha. Bummer!
