Ezinwanye, I grew up in Grand Prairie! :-) I don't miss the 100+ degree for 3 months summers, but I wish I was in Big D for the winter. Here in Minnesota our winters are 6 months long (minimum!)

LMAO! If you find yourself in a bind and need to push Closed Hearts to the following month, I promise I won't throw myself on the floor, kicking & crying.

However, no promises with Monsters of Men HA!

Sandy, from the looks of it, what about The Luminaries?
It is huge, and a buddy read might just be the thing to actually help pick it up. (And I am really excited for it.)

message 94: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Z Would anyone like to join me in reading any of these books: Middlesex, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Cloud Atlas or 1Q84

I'm looking to read some of the 'modern canon' that I haven't gotten around to in recent years.

Thank you -- I mean Fever 1793
and Lost Lake

Sorry, kinda new at this...


message 96: by Bailee (new)

Bailee Ford Hi guys. I've never done a buddy read before, so I don't know how it works, but I want to read

1. The Uglies
2. If I Stay
3. Confessions of a Murder Suspect

Or anything else. I'm really into mysteries and Young Adult stories.

message 98: by Runell (new)

Runell Sandy, I'd love to read Dragonfly in Amber with you.


message 99: by Runell (last edited Sep 01, 2014 03:26PM) (new)

Runell Lindsey, I'd really like to read Cloud Atlas with you. I hear it's a hard book to understand so maybe the adage 'two heads are better than one' applies here.
