Looking at this list and eliminating the group reads: you (Kristin) and I have read Love You More; Tara and I have read Sweet Valley Confidential, Slightly Married, and Slightly Suburban (now that I'm listing that one!!!); Cathy and I have Emily and Einstein; Jen B and I have Skipping a Beat; Cathy and Ashley read The Opposite of Me; Kourtney and Stacy have ttfn as well as l8r, g8r; Tara and Kourtney share There's Cake in My Future; Suzanne and Cathy read Delirium which I just picked up at the library. And I think there's a few more in there that I missed.

273. The Baby Planner by Josie Brown
274. Eye to Eye by Grace Carol
275. Shiver of Fear by Roxanne St. Claire

Thanks Nicole! I had thoughts of going through and looking at that after Kristin's post but wasn't sure that I'd ever get round to it. :)
How was Eye to Eye?

[Stacy]

WOW! Check you out Nicole! Thanks for the quick summary - that is pretty neat to look through.

I read that Eye to Eye was the sequel to Flyover States...is that true?

[Stacy]

Really Kourtney? That's awesome, I'm such a sequel/series lover!!!

[Nicole]

Stacy and Kourtney- Eye to Eye is a sequel to Flyover States. Both have graduated and gone their separate ways. Doris is a professor at a conservative Georgia university and has broken up with her grad school boyfriend because of the move. Ronnie headed back to LA, but her grad school boyfriend was willing to come along. Ronnie can't find work for whatever reason, so she's tutoring some rich white kid whose eyes she's about to open. If you liked Flyover States, you'll probably like this one too. At least I did.

297. The 10 P.M. Question by Kate de Goldi

[Stacy]

Ok, so I just got really nerdy. I was thinking about how my personal challenge thing on the home page shows what percentage of books I've read for it and how many books ahead I am.
So I broke out the calculator to figure out where we're at with this one.
Unless, I did something wrong, we are behind by 15 books as of today. Guess I'd better stop fiddling with the calculator and get reading, LOL! :)

Alright, alright, I'll add my books. (I don't know why I can't remember to do so.) And I don't think that's any more nerdy than when I went through the list to see how many of us had read the same books. You're in good company!
