Thanks for the tip, I'm so buying it right now!

Let me know how that goes, Brigid :-) I borrowed it, too! I liked the first book but didn't love it.

Yay! I can not wait for you to read a Melina book David! SO excited! I am super glad you love Patrick Ness as much as all of us here :)

Aww why would that be silly? It's a gorgeous and very honest book, and I see how it could be really cathartic.

Oh, same here, Becky! I was constantly looking back to check dates!

Heidi, I'm so excited too, you are definitely at the top of my recommended list along with Karen, you guys never steer me wrong!

Thanks for the heads up on the book sale - I'm heading over right now (damn that "Buy with one click" button)
I bought it too Vered. Too tempting! Kourtni has the second book (which I am totally wanting her to keep until she reads it) but I thought in the long distant future I may re-read the entire series so I will not have books one and two ready to go! I am also hoping it is a Kindle book I can share. Yay! Thanks Lloyd!

Boo! Do you have a smart phone, tablet, or ipod touch where you could read it on the Kindle app? I would be more than happy to lend it out.

It really was Brigid. I remember feeling the exact same ways the protag in the book felt (minus the talking tree :)

Say what?! Lloyd you never read The Book Thief? I am suprised and quite frankly saddened to hear this info(just kidding). But seriously I am super exicted to have a new book to pimp! EVERYONE GO READ IT! Maybe we should make it a buddy read or a monthly book because I also know someone named SHANNEN has not read it. Hmmmmm....

I know! I have pimped it too her many times and so far my pimping skills have failed miserably. Must be losing my touch. She must meet Rudy (aka Jesse Owens)

p.s. I own the Book Thief and would be more than happy to mail it to my fellow group members *cough* Shannen *cough*

Good to know Becky! More people need to randomly say German swear words like Kourtni and me :)

I love that book.


What's that?

Hahaha!!
OMG! Wendy! For Shame!
Ok that is it. I am hereby making an exectutive decision that the Book Thief shall be herefore named our March 2013 Group Book (unless of course Brigid and Bluemoon hate the idea and I will cower by myself in the corner but wait NO ONE Puts Heidi in the corner -- wow I had too much sugar this morning!)

Ummm I have to disagree with you about being caught up David but you are close -- you must read at least one Melina Marchetta book before I can ease up on my bombardment of recs to you! Melina is a Goddess.
