Cherie (crobins0) | 21509 comments Welcome to the challenge, Mikaleigh. How amazing too - you have one book linked and guess what month I have not been able to find a book for. I may keep this title in mind if I cannot come up with anything else.

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments I'm glad that you are going to join us Mikaleigh. I hope you enjoy it.

Cherie (crobins0) | 21509 comments I found several movie books with that unfortunate defect. Some days they are either 500+ pages and other days never enough. Good luck with your gophering for books. You don't have to fill in all of the tasks before the first of the year. We can change out titles any time too. You are not required to have them posted until you read them either. Many of us do it because we like to see each other's choices. Borrowing titles is ok too. It makes it nice to set up buddy reads if there is enough interest in specific titles too.

We read this a few months back as a group read. Be sure to check out the discussion thread. It generated some great discussion. I enjoyed it very much and rated it 5 stars. Did you enjoy it?


message 14: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments I gave this one 5 stars as well. Awesome book.


message 15: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 18517 comments I can't bring myself to watch the film.


message 16: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments I bought the DVD, but haven't watched it yet. I think it's still in the cellophane wrapper.

Just made it with the page length there.


message 18: by Rusalka, Moderator (new)

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19208 comments If this is the version of the book you read Mikaleigh, you're okay. Our books just have to be 175pp long for this challenge, so Sarah was pointing out the version you linked was 176pp, so just snuck in! If you read another version of the book, you may want to double check as it is so close.

Cherie (crobins0) | 21509 comments Congratulations on finishing the Badge 1 challenge! Charlie was a great book to finish the first 12 books with. I need to read book #3 soon.

I need to read this one and get it off of my list. I think it is one of the oldest books that I own. Did you like it?

I have seen lots of reviewers make the same comments about disliking the characters. I was just curious.


message 30: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15795 comments Yay! Congrats Mikaleigh!

Margo | 11708 comments Well done Mikaleigh 😄


message 32: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments Will you continue the series, Mikaleigh? While I enjoyed the story, I prefer her other series, Miss Fortune.


message 33: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments It sounds like the books in the Ghost-in-Law series focusses on a different character each time. That might be an interesting approach.


message 34: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments What did you think of Hazel Wood? I'm intrigued by the book blurb.


message 35: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60391 comments I may have to give it a go some day.
