I agree David should read Jellicoe Road but I think he bought Finnikin when it was on sale -- am I correct David? Oh well any Melina is a start! Maybe we can push Jellicoe on him if he likes Finnikin.
You know me, if I like an author I'll read all their books ;)
Mod
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 hat..."
I'm fine with that idea. I really want to read it again! :D

Lol! One day I need to listen to the audio. I'm sure the way I've said many things in my head are completely wrong!! Then again, maybe I don't want to know how they're really pronounced. That might ruin my saumensch/sandwich fun.

Ha! Yes somethings are better left to your imagination. I do HIGHLY recommend his other book on audio though if you want to try it
. I think the narrator for I am the Messanger and the one for Jellicoe Road should make babies because I have a crush on both of them and I have never even seen them!

Yay Brigid! I will try to re-read it too! Like I said I would be happy to mail my print copy to my my peeps here :)
Mod
Yay! *crosses fingers that Finnikin wins his heart*

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....Yeah...my Kindle is loaded with tons of books that I haven't gotten time to read. But I've got a 6 year old son who ADORES me! :) (I guess that's the trade off for my lost reading time)
Wow...banished of to the Naughty Corner, eh? Well, as long as I can take my Kindle!I don't get points for having already read
? It's because I wasn't all gooey about the relationships, isn't it?
Tales from the Naughty Corner.It's so dark and cold here...
Ah well, I guess I'll just have to keep reading
for now!

Whew!!! Thank goodness I read and liked On the Jellicoe RoadKaren JUST escapes the naughty corner!! Bwaahahahah...
The Book Thief is very close to home for me! My mom was a little girl in Germany at the same time as in the book and had so many horrible experiences. if I could write, it would be to tell her story.
Mod
I don't get points for having already read
? It's because I wasn't all gooey ..."Nice try Lloyd but no dice! I like how you even played the kid card Lloyd. It almost worked. Oh ok who am I fooling. It worked. 6 year old who LOVES you PLUS Jellicoe Road has earned your freedom from the naughty corner but I want you to remember what you did to earn your time there so that it never happens again. Ok? Ok.
Wow I didn't realize you all would take the naughty corner thing so far (but I probably should have known). Wow Karen, that will definitely add a lot to the emotions you feel as you read it.
Mod
Karen JUST escapes the naughty corner!! Bwaahahahah...

Wow. That is so sad about your mother. How horrible :(

That's so sad.
I promise I'll get to
soon! I just know it's sad and I'm depressed enough as it is.Besides...those two Patrick Ness books that I could buy for my Kindle are tempting me...greatly! Must...resist...
Actually, the Naughty Corner would be great to force me to finish all these books I'm stuck part-way through.
Yep you could just sit in the corner all day and get caught up. I heard there's a well stocked micro fridge in the naughty corner too ;)
Aww thanks, guys. Mom is incredible and a very fiesty German lady! I bought her a house 2 blocks away just to keep an eye on her! She likes jagermeister and poker! Ha ha...! One day, I'll get her amazing life story down on paper for the grandkids to read. About 20 years ago I spent a few weekends making her tell me everything she could remember while I typed everything she said. Someday maybe I can put it all together!
Wow, that would be truly incredible Karen...sounds like an amazing woman and she raised an amazing daughter :)
Um... I haven't read it either... (hangs head in shame)...
So people can use the kid card to stay out of the naughty corner. I might just want to be in the naughty corner with some books and well stocked fridge to get a brief break from the kids. They are wonderful but once in awhile......
If the naughty corner is kid-free and stocked with books, sign me up!
Hahaha! I love this group's imagination :)
Hahaha I might like to hang out in the naughty corner for a while as well, but I've read all of those books... Am I still allowed in??

Mod
Stocked with just books? You are need to use your imagination more Vered! hahaha
Mod
OK I guess I did not think this though as I am childfree but some of you parents would actually like a time out in a fully stocked (free) minibar corner. My bad.
Mod
So far we have Lloyd, Vered, Becky, and I am adding Shannen even though she is trying to be quiet so I forget but I never forget (unless it is when I go into a different room to get something and then can't remember what it was but that is a whole different ball game).

The second is probably more Junior Fiction and lighthearted so I think it might balance the first.

I like middle grade reads sometimes. Yay for Chaos Walking!!
Mod
I think that was my favorite of the series so far. :) Although I'm not sure because I read them all in a row and they kind of blur together ... haha.

Ohhh good to know since I now own books one and two -- I could have a complete set! Oh wait! I just remembered I haven't won anything for 3 YEARS!!! Why do I even bother people? Why??!!
p.s. I even won two audiobooks in another group and the publisher never sent them to me! Bad luck I tell you.
