  • Thanks for doing this!  And my school library has Reality Boy, so I can go pick it up this morning.
  • I've never heard of the book I got, which is exciting. Yay for something new!

    Thanks for putting this together!

    PS - Is there a deadline to have your book read by?

    I am leaving this up for everyone's discretion :-) everyone has their own timelines but I just hope that everyone does take part like they said they would even if it is months later. I will prob keep track and send out random reminders ;-)

  • Awesome! Thanks for doing this, @Shepherdjel! I don't know anything about Columbine so I am super-excited to learn more. I will probably finish up The King and then start that one.

    Haven't you & I talked about Michael Connelly before? I'm psyched you got my rec. :) I've never listened to anything of his, so here's hoping it's good. 

    I'm excited about my book, because I've never heard of it. Thanks for pulling this together, and thanks to whomever recommended mine (A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff)

    We may have talked about him before but I honestly can't remember.  I read the synopsis and it sounds good.  Just different enough from what I've been reading to make it interesting.  Thanks!

    I've heard of my book (and I think many of you have read it.) I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I'm looking forward to the out of my comfort zone read.
    Can I marry them all?

  • Awesome! Thanks for doing this, @Shepherdjel! I don't know anything about Columbine so I am super-excited to learn more. I will probably finish up The King and then start that one.
    I read this last year & it was facinating.  It was a very interesting, in-depth look at the the events on & leading up to the shootings.
  • Thanks for organizing, I was shocked to see how many people signed up! That's amazing :) My library has my book so I'll try to pick it up tonight if possible and start it probably this weekend!
  • Thanks for doing this! Excited to start reading!

    ME TOO!! I was not expecting this much interest! I am hoping it ends up working out well and gets this board a little active! :-)

  • Thanks so much for putting this together!  I think it is such a great idea. Lets all make sure when we post our reviews of the books that we put reading lottery or something along those lines in the title of the post!

    I am pretty excited about my book. I hadn't actually heard of Reconstructing Amelia, but after reading some of the reviews on Goodreads and looking into what the book is about it looks like it will be great. I have it on hold on overdrive, hopefully I will be able to download it soon!

    Actually, I read A Modern Witch, and I really enjoyed it, so I'll be reading book 2. That's how perfect it really is!!! I'm pretty stoked about it, actually.

    I read this last year & it was facinating.  It was a very interesting, in-depth look at the the events on & leading up to the shootings.
    I read Columbine a couple of years ago, too, and I loved it.  It was so engrossing.  I'll be looking for the discussion thread on that one, for sure.
