The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion
Team Sally Lockhart
It's not late Alyssa. I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. It's personality flaw of mine with if it's done on time it's late. Yay! We are done with all cards and letters. We just need to submit our guess.

YESSSSSS! Great job team!!!!!
So quick question.....any books that we started already will not count for March right?
Sara wrote: "So quick question.....any books that we started already will not count for March right?"They will count for March - as long as they are not finished until after 3am on March 1st.

I am adding this to our Feb hands, but Diane, can you tell me how it works for 3, please?
Angie is totally awesome! She did a breakdown of what and how many of each card we need for March. You can look at the SS to see what's needed. If there is a specific card you want to do go ahead and claim it.
I am currently reading Midnight Rose. Should be able to finish it this weekend.Works for (off top of head)...

I also downloaded the second book in the series. Will probably have the same cards as above, and then maybe more :-)

She isn't really.....it's probably overkill, but I counted what we needed so many times in Feb, I wanted to nip that in the bud for March!! :-D

Ohhhhhhh. How did you like it??? I’m obsessed with Reese’s book club, so this on my list 😊
Hey guys. I am here. I'm sorry I haven't been checking in. I should really stop doing these group challenges. Anyway, I'm currently reading The Last One I love the premise, so hopefully this book will be really good.
I hope you enjoy your book Diane. I just saw February's standing. We are in 2nd place. Yay!!!

Perfect! Next book I will read then :-)
I am reading Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows, and loving it so far!
Has anyone read The Passage? I really like the tv series and going to start the first book tomorrow. I debated if I wanted to read the series since I am concerned that I won’t enjoy the tv series anymore. I really hate shen that happens.
I haven't read the series either, Ora - but was considering reading them because I really like the tv series too! :-)
The tv series keeps taunting me every time there is a commercial, lol. I think I might have to start it.

I got sidetracked with a BOTM at AMMP. I just started listening to it. It's going into Amy's mom's background more along with their life together. It is more messed up than what the tv show did.

Angie, I would highly recommend reading
. As far as the series, I have no idea what they are going to do with season 2. About the first third of the book takes place present time and then it jumps about 100 years in the future. I have no idea what will happen with the tv series. I have a hold for the second book. I think that one will take place during present time or at least part of it because of the character list.
I will add it to my list! That one may take me a while to read...probably need to save it for a weekend! Lol!I put a hold on it from the library - I'm 117th on 22 copies...may be a while!
I got one at one click digital. No waiting

I was bummed I didn’t like it. I think it came from a lot of characters being introduced for what seemed like every chapter. The treatment of Tom by his boss and the treatment of Wyatt was very off putting to me. Not sure if I need to read the first two books to understand the dynamic? Or I just love books where everyone gets along, lol. An optimist through and through 🙈.
I am very open to checking out more books by him.
