Four Seasons (Spring/Fall) Reading Challenge **NOW CLOSED**

[Kristina]

Thank you, Sandra! Those are three books that have been collecting dust on my shelf for quite some time, and probably would gather a lot more dust if you hadn't chosen them for me! :) This will be an interesting fall!

Hi Kelly. The sign-up for this challenge has now closed. We'll be having another one in 3 months time so keep an eye out for that closer to the time.

[Lillian]

My partner has not picked for me yet. Should I just wait a few more days?

[Stacie Lauro]

I can pick for Lillian if you would like me to Zara...

You're welcome!

[Lillian]

Oh, yay! Thanks for great pics Stacie!

Almost finished with The Supremes at Earl's All You Can Eat
"Delicious" finished, loved it.
I finished The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy. Hurt my heart but in a good way. One character said the best part of her life was with these people in the hospice. Mortality bites.
Thanks for the pics, Stacie!

[Stacie Lauro]

You're welcome Lillian. I hope you love the books as much as I did!

I've finished my first book for the challenge, Lucky Bet (9/27/15). It was a little unbelievable, but an enjoyable story.

I've finished my second book, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (9/28/15). A bit confusing at the beginning, and quite sad in spots.

On to the last book.

[Kelly]

Lillian, Thank you so much for my picks! My sincere apologies for not having done yours yet. I totally lost track of this in the craziness that is my life. Please forgive me and I will have your selections done today!

[Kelly]

ok. I see that Stacie took care of it. I apologize again for dropping the ball and hope you enjoy the picks. I am definitely looking forward to mine!

Finished my 1st book of the series....Landlne....5 star read!!! I loved it!!!!

[Sandra]

Finished Gone Girl 4 stars. Originally I was not sure what to make of this but the further along I got in the book specially the half way point and u hear Amy's pov it got better. In the end I enjoyed this book and recommended it especially for the twist and turn

Glad you liked it Sandra. I can't say that I did. I thought it was weird.

[Sandra]

I was just disappointed with the ending I felt like it was a great story and then she didn't know how to give it a good ending

Wow, I am behind, and I came to the library today to try to pick up my first book, and it was dicey! The last time I had checked (a couple days ago) Spool of Blue Thread was available, but now it is all checked out, so I have a hold on it. Orphan Master's Son is supposed to be here, but is missing from the shelves. So, I finally found the third pick, Labor Day by Joyce Maynard and I am running away with it while I still can! lol

I can sympathise with you Kelly. I have had that happen to me so often.

So I never finished all three books I did read the kite runner awhile back just didn't have time to post about it. I did like the book. Made me sad and I did find the main character to be a bit annoying or an ass. I think for me I liked the main character at first until the incident. AFterwards I found myself starting to dislike him.
