I have this at home, so will start reading ASAP :)

[Charlotte]

same here! I got a copy at a second hand sale ages ago but haven't read it yet

[Charlotte]

I started reading today. very cheesy but that's kinda of to be expected :P

[Raynah]

I started the audiobook today!

[dagger [ain't that a kick in the head]]

I'm probably going to start it in like a week and a half. As of right now, I don't have access to it.

i don’t seem to be able to get the book in my local library, so i might have to skip this month :( i’ll try again in a week or two!

[scout]

if you go online, usually you can search up the book you want, and use your library card for the book to be moved to your library! i did that with the Giver (december read).

[charlottevb]

i’ll try that, thanks :)

[scout]

no problem, I hope it helps!

[scout]

Hey guys! Totally forgot, but I finished the Notebook a few days ago, would rate it 4/5, review coming soon :)

[Charlotte]

Cool! I've only read about a quarter of it so far because I'm swamped with school work for the next few weeks (which is why I haven't been so active) but one thing is how different it is to the movie! The movie is way more about when they were young whereas this is more about their reunion I've noticed. Not sure which I prefer yet haha :)

[scout]

yeaa, it gets better i promise you, i think i prefered the book if i’m going to be honest with you...

[Raynah]

I just finished the audiobook! I have never seen the movie so I’ll have to watch it so I can compare the two.

[scout]

cool! the film is amazing!

[Charlotte]

hi everyone! so its been kinda dead this month lol. personally, I really didn't like the book :( I tried! I got up to page 149 but it was killing me. not to be harsh but I found it a sooo boring. I probably would've tried to keep going but I have a book I need to read for school now so I've given up.
I actually do think the movies alright - a cute little romantic thing, but, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the book is worse than the movie (omg)

Anyway, what did everyone else think? I know not everyone managed to get a copy so hopefully next month we'll have some more

[Raynah]

I gave the book two stars. I also thought it was really boring. I felt that the characters were dull and went through basically no development. I did enjoy the ending though, it was cute.

[Melina]

I'm sorry I haven't been very active here, but I couldn't find the book anywhere

[scout]

Seems everyone either couldn’t find it or hated it, so let’s call this month a failure! :)

[Charlotte]

Lol it was bound to happen eventually. Better luck for us next month! :D
