- What are you reading this week?Emma by Jane Austen
- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
Emma will be another of Jane Austen's spunky heroines.
What are you reading this week?Still Alice
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title?
I can't really answer this. I knew what happened to the main character in the story before I read it.
- What are you reading this week? I read Love Anthony by Lisa Genova.- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative! I didn't know what to expect with this book. I had read Still Alice and Left Neglected also by Lison Genova. The first book I loved, the second was medically interesting, but not as great a read. I wasn't sure what this one would be like. I knew it was about a boy with autism and was interested in the topic, but it was very different than I expected. A good read that I would recommend.
What are you reading this week?I am reading
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
Well, I am just under halfway through. Last we left him, he had been arrested for murders he hadn't committed (sayeth what???), and now he's finally out on bail. But he's still the main suspect for the murders. My bet is that he's going to clear his name, and then "kill himself", and then continue living his life under a new name, peaceful and unattached and unburdened.
- What are you reading this week?The Secret Life of Violet Grant
- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
Well, I just finished the book so I already know what happened.
What did you read?Martin Eden by Jack London
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
A little hard since this after the fact.

Ella Minnow Pea: A Progressively Lipogrammatic Epistolary Fable
- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
Well I've already finished it at the time of this post, but what I did think about the character before I read it was that she would be creative with her words and likely have a large vocabulary. It was a pretty accurate prediction.
Q: What are you reading this week?A: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Q: What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
A: I think he will do stupid but useful things, be mad at Professor Snape, meet a dog, be afraid of it, meet a werewolf and go back in time and stuff.
- What are you reading this week? Ane by Esta Aksli- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative! Ane is a very short and simply name and the character might be same: a simply girl. :)
What are you reading this week? Like Adam, I read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was also working my way back through the series and finished it up at the end of July.What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative! Well, that would be cheating since I've already read it. ;)
- What are you reading this week? Scarlet by Marissa Meyer- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative! Lol I have already read it, but Scarlet has teamed up with Cinder, so the next book should be interesting.
What are you reading this week?April's Glow by Juliet Madison
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
I predict April will fall in love and find her HEA. It's a romance it must end this way or I'll be very disappointed :)
What are you reading this week?Elizabeth Is Missing
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
I predict that Elizabeth will not be found because she doesn't want to be.
I am reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I predict that HP lives and that his son manages to save the world from the Dark forces.
What are you reading this week?Lady Sophia's Lover by Lisa Kleypas
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative!
I already read this. But I was looking for a fluffy, mindless romance with well written characters and Lisa Kleypas is a master at that!
For this week, I read Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. Having already read it, I know that it's about a ghost by the name of Anna Dressed in Blood who is called that because she appears with a dress flowing with blood. However, I'd have predicted that anyway because of the cover.

Based on the reviews I would say Duke gets the girl and teaches her a thing or too about non-vanilla sex. She may even turn into his submissive - I had no idea the book was going to be about this when I grabbed it so let's see!!
What are you reading this week: Jack the Ripper: A Life of Crime The True Story of Jack the Ripper: 11/1/16- What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title? Be creative! Basically a book about Jack the Ripper, and his crimes, but there's one thing I would have never guessed is that at the time some people thought that the author of Alice In Wonderland might of been Jack the Ripper, I saw so surprised that I almost fell the edge of my bed.

According to Luke by Gerry Stembridge
What are your predictions for the character whose name is in the title?
I expected the book to be told entirely from Luke's point of view, but the chapters move between the perspectives of various members of his family. This works well to tell a more rounded story.
