Do you mind a buddy reader who reads slowly?

Not at all, Gina! I am a slow reader as well and usually I'm the one that's behind everyone else. I need to have it finished for a real life book club on the 13th. (Hope I make it!) But, even if it takes you longer I can still come back and discuss.

Let me know if yo'd like to read it and I'll set up a thread. :)

I just finished it for a real life book club too. We're discussing it on the 12th. How funny!
I'll be reading the thread! :)

Ooooh november, not september. My mistake.

Yes, lol. One of my other online book clubs read it in August at my recommendation, but I wasn't able to get to it. I had to return it to the library and I couldn't get it back until November.

Cool. I've never done this before. Please direct me on how we proceed. I'm looking forward to dicussing with you.

Great Gina! I haven't started it yet. I will pick it up from the library today. I started the thread here. Basically, we just read and write any thoughts or responses to someone else's thoughts there. We typically state where we are in the book using chapters or percentages and use spoiler tags for anything that gives away the progress (plot point, twists, etc) of the book. I'm looking forward to it!
